Fueling the Phone Industry

By Dan Crippen

  So by this point most people have at least heard of hydrogen fuel cells and a few clusters may know people who are driving one of these futuristic eco-vehicles. What almost no one has heard about is the team in Britain that is looking to make hydrogen fuel cells the next big thing in…

Self-Assembling Robots

By Dan Crippen

Self-assembling robots have always always been a sci-fi milestone that science in the real world could never really achieve. One team at MIT has achieved just that, a group of robots that work together to reconfigure themselves. They are called M-Blocks and although they are nothing like what you’d see in Hollywood they are a…

Quantum Crushes Record

By Dan Crippen

Quantum dots are making a comeback! After a few years of humbled excitement over quantum dots there comes a record breaking performance in speed of light emissions. What the researchers did was construct a plasmonic metal structure with certain characteristics that the quantum dots could be embedded into. The total speed that they achieved was…
