SAN FRANCISCO, Kalifornia (PNN) - July 15, 2013 - Pediatricians may soon get help monitoring babies' health with a high-tech diaper.
A new startup, called Smart Diapers, uses a QR code on a baby's diaper and parents' smart phones to record health data that would normally be thrown in the trash.
LONDON, England (PNN) - July 17, 2013 - Scientists have developed an "intelligent knife" that can tell surgeons immediately whether the tissue they are cutting is cancerous or not.
In the first study to test the invention in the operating theater, the "iKnife" diagnosed tissue samples from 91 patients with 100% accuracy, instantly providing information that normally takes up to half an hour to reveal using laboratory tests.
HOUSTON, Texas (PNN) - June 27, 2013 - Not content with simply being the man-made object to travel farthest from Earth, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft recently entered a bizarre new region at the solar system’s edge that has physicists baffled. Their theories don’t predict anything like it.
ALBANY, New York (PNN) - June 26, 2013 - Ray guns, death rays, freeze rays - these make-believe weapons have long been staples of the wackier side of science fiction.
That is, until two men from upstate New York allegedly decided to make one for real.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - June 3, 2013 - Big Brother is hoping to eliminate anonymous digital communication, but a new messaging protocol may provide privacy advocates a way around their snooping government no matter where they live.
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (PNN) - May 23, 2013 - Rice flour, rice wine and rice milk are all common interpretations of the staple grain, but a Vietnamese chemist has developed a novel use for rice plant that won't fill bellies, but just might save lives.
Has 10,000 times the energy density of gas.
HOUSTON, Texas (PNN) - May 21, 2013 - Against all probability, a device that purports to use cold fusion to generate vast amounts of power has been verified by a panel of independent scientists.
The research paper, which hasn’t yet undergone peer review, seems to confirm both the existence of cold fusion and its potency: The cold fusion device being tested has roughly 10,000 times the energy density and 1,000 times the power density of gasoline. Even allowing for a massively conservative margin of error, the scientists say that the cold fusion device they tested is 10 times more powerful than gasoline - which is currently the best fuel readily available to mankind.
A new weapon has been developed for use by terrorist outlaw pig thug cops against innocent Amerikan citizens. It is a gun that shoots DNA markers, which can then be used to identify the target as having been present at a particular place at a particular time. Perhaps we need to develop our own weapons to use against the terrorist pig thug cops.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 8, 2013 - The Pentagon’s electromagnetic pain weapons are about to make a new friend. It’s an anthropomorphic test dummy that’s going to get blasted by everything the Pentagon’s non-lethal weapons agency can throw at it.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 1, 2013 - Worried about drones spying on you? Soon, a device might be able to send you text and email alerts that let you know when a drone is nearby.
A Washington, D.C.-based engineer is working on the "Drone Shield," a small, Wi-Fi-connected device that uses a microphone to detect a drone's "acoustic signatures" (sound frequency and spectrum) when it's within range.
