IHS Automotive has released a study claiming that autonomous cars will over-take our roadways and replace the human driver forever.Full autonomous cars, without a human at the wheel or manipulating the pedals will be a reality by 2030; leading into the “bulk of automotive sales...
Nobel Prize winning physicists have proven beyond doubt that the physical world is one large sea of energy that flashes into and out of being in milliseconds, over and over again.Nothing is solid. This is the world of Quantum Physics.They have proven that thoughts are what put to...
A biological research team at Bielefeld University has made a groundbreaking discovery showing that plants can draw an alternative source of energy from other plants.This finding could also have a major impact on the future of bioenergy eventually providing the evidence to show t...
Pain is a hard problem. Sure, we can throw a little morphine at pain in the short term, but researchers continue to struggle with solutions for chronic pain.New research from Stanford's futuristic Bio-X lab looks like a light at the end of the tunnel — literally!Put simply, a t...
An ancient virus of unprecedented size has been recovered from 30,000-year-old permafrost in Siberia and reactivated. Incredibly, sixty percent of its genes do not resemble anything currently found on Earth.The virus, which is so large it can be seen under a microscope, dates bac...
Like higher organisms, plants appear able to make complex decisions. A new study shows that plants may be able to initiate a survival mechanism by aborting their own seeds to prevent parasite infestation.Plants have previously been shown to draw alternative sources of energy from...
British Columbia based Hyperstealth Biotechnology has developed a technique called “Quantum Stealth,” which is a type of camouflage that bends light around the wearer of an object to create the illusion of invisibility. Hyperstealth is a Canadian camouflage design company, th...
At the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, astronaut Dave Bowman’s final words were “My God – it’s full of stars!” But for NASA’s Kepler mission, it might be better to change the line to “My God – it’s full of planets!”Since December 2009, the space observatory has ...
You're looking at a rabbit's heart beating outside the animal that once hosted it. It's alive, pumping blood on its own thanks to a revolutionary electronic membrane that may save your life by keeping your heart beating at a perfect rate.The thin, circuit-lined stretchable membra...
In modern science, the prevailing opinion supposes that whatever falls into a black hole disappears forever and breaks apart into the component parts.However, a new theory states that black holes do not destroy the matter but rather are a kind of exit gate which lead to other uni...
Neurogenesis* is the birth of new neurons from neural stem or progenitor cells in the brain.It was long considered that the number of neurons was fixed and they did not replicate after maturity of the brain.It wasn’t until the 1990’s that neurogenesis was observed in the brai...
