Beyoncé and Tom Brady swear by it – but experts throw cold water on the new beverage fad
Nikola Tesla gave us the electric motor, long-distance electricity transmission, radio, robots, and remote control – the very foundations of our modern economy.
Computer bits are binary, with a value of 0 or one. By contrast, neurons in the brain can have all kinds of different internal states, depending on the input that they received. This allows the brain to process information in a more energy-efficient manner than a computer. Physicists are working on memristors, resistors with a memory, made from niobium-doped strontium titanate, which mimic how neurons work.
Australian researchers have developed new technology enabling them for the first time to film a deep-sea swimming sea cucumber, also known as a “headless chicken monster,” in Southern Ocean waters off East Antarctica.
Researchers have discovered a way to mass produce tiny, cell-sized robots that could be used for industrial or biomedical monitoring.
Known as glycine, it can generate enough electricity to power smartphones and electronics found in cars.
In the past five years, 74 cities have voted to remove fluoride from their drinking water, despite thousands of studies showing it prevents cavities.
Thanks in so small part to movies like Close Encounters and Signs, the imagery of UFO encounters and alien abductions is deeply tied to the American mid-west.
