In order to keep global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius, we’ll need to rely on renewable energy, electric vehicles (EV) and battery storage. But creating that infrastructure will dramatically increase our need for metals like cobalt and lithium. Source: Researchers suggest 100 percent renewable energy isn’t very green
Researchers develop a painless glucose monitor for diabetics Tiny microneedles make the device less invasive that currently available products. This was posted on Google+
British Researchers Get Approval to Genetically Modify Human Embryos Less than a year after scientists in China became the first to genetically modify human embryos, a research team in Britain has been given the green light to perform similar work. It’s a huge moment in biotech history—one that could eventually lead to “designer babies.” This …

Google researchers create amazing timelapses from public photos There are a zillion digital photos in the public domain and scientists have just figured out something very cool to do with them. A team from Google and This was posted on Google+
Researchers create a ‘trojan-horse’ virus to eliminate cancer in mice Scientists in the United Kingdom have developed a new therapy in which cancer-killing viruses hide inside the immune system of mice. The researchers successfully demonstrated that macrophages (immunit… This was posted on Google+…
Researchers Discover Bacteria That Produces Pure Gold The gold you see in the photo above was not found in a river or a mine. It was produced by a bacteria that, according to researchers at Michigan State University, can survive in extreme toxic environm… This was posted on Google+…
Researchers Cram 700 Terabytes of Data Into One Gram of DNA We've known DNA could be a viable solution for data storage for a while now, but Harvard researchers have just discovered how wildly efficient it could really be by fitting 5.5 petabits, or 700 teraby… This was posted on Google+…
Researchers create record-breaking solar cell, set bar marginally higher Solar cell development is typically a small numbers game, and a group of researchers at the University of Toronto have managed to eke This was posted on Google+…
Researchers get CPUs and GPUs talking, boost PC performance by 20 percent How do you fancy a 20 percent boost to your processor's performance? Research from the North Carolina State University claims to offer just that. This was posted on Google+…
Researchers expose printer vulnerability, turn LaserJets into literal time bombs Your precious printer might seem innocuous but, in reality, it could be a ticking time bomb just waiting for some hacker to trigger it. Oh, and we mean that not just figuratively, but literally as well — they could actually be caused to burst into …
Since the dawn of Kinect hacking, we’ve seen cameras strung together (or rotated) to create 3D, video game-like environments, while others have tweaked it for headtracking. Others, still, have used it for teleconferencing (albeit, the flat, tw…
Remember that pair of 100 terabit-per-second connections we told you about earlier this moth? Impressive? Sure, but not entirely practical thanks to the massive banks of lasers (370 to be exact) that guzzled several kilowatts of electricity. Resea…

Even a woman with a 40 Gbps internet connection might feel a twinge of jealousy at this news — Japan has successfully tested two separate 100 terabit per second data links that use a single optical fiber to carry their loads. New Scientist reports th…
If you didn’t already think your smartphone knows too much about you, here’s a handy reminder. A duo of UK researchers have uncovered a potentially worrying (and oddly enough, undocumented) feature in iOS 4: it asks your iPhone to record your location…
No, it’s not an actual flexible touchscreen, but this so-called “flex” interface developed by some researchers at Osaka University is still pretty novel. Rather than simply moving content off the screen when you’re browsing something like Google Maps…
If the notion of a tiny robot swimming around in your eye leaves you a bit uneasy then, well, you might want to stop right here. For the rest of you, though, you may be interested in some new tests now being conducted by Michael Kummer and his team of…
