Newly developed robotic fish is powered by robot blood
Scientists from Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania have developed a robotic fish powered by ‘robot blood’ – a battery fluid. There are no solid batteries attached to the roughly 40-centimeter soft robot fish. Rather it is filled and propelled by a fluid which stores energy and moves the fish’s fins. This new approach to powering a robot gives the artificial fish the ability to store extra energy within a short period and to operate for a longer duration without the conventional heavy and cumbersome battery packs. Robert Sheph...

Russia Mocks SpaceX by Sending a Toy Car into Space
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s ambitious space move in February 2018 made headlines in after the private American aerospace company launched a cherry-red Tesla car (Roadster) into space on a rocket to Mars. Now, a team of Russian scientists is making a mockery of Musk by sending a red toy car into space last week. While SpaceX launched a full-sized car into orbit with a dummy “Starman” behind the vehicle’s wheel, Russia’s Tomsk State University researchers sent a toy car that’s a replica of red Zhiguli owned by the country’s Roscosmos ...

Sex robots could help patients with sexual dysfunction meet their needs, she mentions in her presentation and is soon to add that they could also gravely hamper social relationships. People who do use sex robots could endanger their intimate relationship with their partner and it could also affect the entire society in the long run. In her presentatio...

NASA is Opening ISS Gates to Private Space Tourism
Becoming a passenger on NASA’s spacecraft is like passing a camel through the eye of a needle. To be fair enough, it’s actually more difficult than getting into Harvard. But that concept will soon become obsolete; at least some rich people that can cough out tens of millions of dollars for a special vacation will be able to buy a ticket for Space tourism. NASA on Friday announced it would allow regular citizens (not certified astronauts) to fly to the International Space Station – the only existing extraterrestrial home – if not ma...

EmDrive Nears the Biggest Breakthroughs in Space Exploration
Scientists have, for the past two decades, debated the practicality of a hypothetical engine called EmDrive that would require no form of fuel to propel a spacecraft. That sounds quite out-of-science, right? Of course, a working EmDrive would cancel one of the fundamental laws of physics. However, this anomaly hasn’t discouraged scientists. Many top research organizations, including DARPA and the Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory of NASA, are busy in their labs pursuing this course because a breakthrough would be completely extra...

Apple Wants You to Pay $1000 for a Monitor Stand
Apple always has some tricks up its sleeve for its annual WWDC. This time it was the Apple monitor stand that costs $1000. The one launch that got people talking after this year’s WWDC was not the latest iOS 13 or the stunning Mac Pro Display XDR, it was a monitor stand that costs as much as the Apple XS. The monitor stand officially called the Apple pro stand, isn’t coated in gold or any kind of jewels nor does it have a ground-breaking new-age technology. It’s just a monitor stand required to hold a computer monitor at place. Th...

The Internet Is Killing Your Memory, New Research Says
The impact of technology on the way we live would never be easy to explain, with the most influential aspect being the internet. Until now, we generally have no recognition for any negative effects. Most of us think it only has to do with the distractions or the amount of time we spend using the internet, while others have accepted it’s not ideal to stare at a screen all day. A new study may have found something more troubling – the internet is killing your memory. A group of scientists from America, Australia, and Europe has found t...
