If asked about one irritating thing on cyber world, spamming would if not on the top, then at least in top three. Coders are always after finding ways to outwit spammers. Captchas is one of the fruits such efforts have produced. They are referred to those illegible code words which are designed to dodge spammers, often asked to input before proceeding to the required page. But the bad news is that... 

Boasting the tagline of “If you can dream it, we can build it”, Parker Brother Choppers have to their credit so far; the replica of Torn Light Cycle as well as an advanced version of Green Machine. The year for them is been good so far with a reality TV show being premiered on SyFy network and both their babies making their way into the very famous Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue ; the Green Machine... 

A glass is transparent but our sense of sight tells us every time we come across one. It is because of some of the light passing through it being reflected back to into our eyes. But what if it doesn’t? A normal glass substrate (left) and the new substrate (right). Because light is hardly reflected on the new substrate, it can hardly be seen. A Japanese firm; Nippon Glass Co. limited has been successful... 

Supercomputers are at the front line of current processing capacity among all the families of computers. They are used for highly intensive tasks such as quantum physics, weather forecasting, climate research and molecular modeling etc. In November ’09 and October ’10 Jaguar topped the Top500 lists of world’s fastest supercomputers. But it was not until late October 2010 that Jaguar... 

Here is the construction process of construction of composite fuselage for the aviation industry’s hottest product now in the market – The Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Composite materials, unlike the metals, are combination of two or more materials (mainly fibres: provide great strength and matrix: the substance that holds these fibres ). Composite materials are characterized by the strength... 

I once read somewhere, Remember, no matter how bad you are you are not totally useless. You can still be used as a bad example. Well as we advance towards shrinking things to the size of nanometers, even the useless are turning into assets. Thus here, Materials Science and Engineering Professor Xudong Wang, postdoctoral Researcher Chengliang Sun and graduate student Jian Shi are busy finding ways to... 

You must have heard about Apple‘s new spaceship-like headquarters planned for the city Cupertino, officially called the Apple Campus 2. The project was announced earlier in June this year, and now a more detailed look of the project has been revealed. It will include the following: An Office, Research and Development Building comprising approximately 2.8 million square feet A 1,000 seat Corporate... 

Fumiyuki Sato, an Engineer from the Japanese Defense Ministry, has developed a spherical surveillance drone which he has claimed the world’s first. The drone has the ability to fly between narrow passages, flutter in the air, vertically take off, bounce along the ground and can fly up to 37 miles per hour. This is the world’s first spherical air vehicle. It is powered by a single propeller... 

A human brain is going to cost one million high speed ARM processors as scientists are currently developing a computer that will be able to simulate the processing of a human brain. Yet, the important thing is that despite of one million processors, the proposed computer will be able to model only one percent of the human brain. The computer is named as SpiNNaker (Spiking Neural Network architecture)... 

Good news for chocolate lovers as a fascinating 3D chocolate printer is at the door — the world’s first 3D chocolate printer was just unveiled in U.K. This 3D chocolate printer is the result of collaborative work and research of University of Exeter in collaboration with the University of Brunel and software developer Delcam. The printer can produce 3D imprints of chocolate based on user...
