Researchers have successfully developed a light-emitting diodes from nanomaterials. A team of scientists from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) discovered the new nanomaterial application that can emit ultraviolet light. The nanomaterial in question here is graphene, which is popular due to its electrical conductivity and strength. The material is popular in manufacturing electrical circuits and smartphones. However, this is the first time, its application in creating future

Scientists at Utah State University’s Splash Lab unveiled a new insight into ‘water skipping’. This common past time of children can make way for walking drones on water in the near future. The researchers studied how elastic spheres interact with water and skip over a tank of water to move progressively. Additionally, they used high-speed cameras to record that elastic spheres gain momentum over a first several impacts. Consequently, this

WiFi Finder, a popular app for hotspots exposed over 2 million passwords recently. The app also failed to respond to public concerns about the exposure, despite repeated attempts by news agencies. The app is well-known for its ability to locate hotspots anywhere and also hosts a large public database of public passwords. However, the database also showcased several passwords, geolocation tags and other important information for home-based networks. The app

A new study promises to double the speeds of mobiles and computing devices. The study details a new and advanced data compression technique. The technique compresses essential information by half. This makes it easier for apps to access the much-needed information from the main memory. The study was undertaken by MIT researchers who believe it can speed up computation considerably. According to them, accessing the main computer memory is often

Electrostimulation to Improve Working Memory in Adults

The researchers at Boston University demonstrated that electrostimulation could actually improve working memory. Rob Reinhart, assistant professor and John Nguyen a doctoral researcher at the university conducted research. Nature Neuroscience published this study. The National Institutes of Health have supported the theory. The researchers found the electrostimulation improves memory in the 70s, which is indistinguishable from the memory of a 20-year-old. What is Working Memory? The conscious part of the

Scientists from the University of Sheffield have uncovered a new path to study ancient stars, neutron stars, white dwarfs, and black holes. The new path helped explain the evolution of ancient stars recently, thanks to a high-speed, multicolor camera technology. The technology known as HiPERCAM snaps over 1000 pictures per second. This capability allowed the team to measure both the radius and the mass of a cool subdwarf star, in
