Forget 3D Printing – The ‘Replicator’ is Here (VIDEO)
A new 3D printing technique can replicate complex structures using projections of light into a special resin.

3D Printed Tires And Shoes That Self-Repair
Instead of throwing away your broken boots or cracked toys, why not let them fix themselves? Researchers have developed 3D-printed rubber materials that can do just that.
Static Electricity Could Charge Our Electronics
While common in everyday life, the science behind this phenomenon is not well understood.
Colossal Spinning Disc of Ice Suddenly Appears in River (VIDEO)
The strange rotating circle resembles a UFO or a moon.
The Orderly Chaos Of Black Holes
During the formation of a black hole a bright burst of energetic light is produced called a gamma-ray burst. Researchers have built the POLAR instrument to analyze GRBs. The first results reveal that high energy photons coming from GRBs are neither completely chaotic, nor completely organized, but a mixture of the two.
Scientists find links between brain damage and religious fundamentalism
A recent study has shown that religious fundamentalism is partly the result of a functional impairment in the prefrontal cortex, where damage to particular areas may indirectly promote religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness.
Nearby Planet Could Support Primitive Life, Scientists Announce
A super-Earth known as Barnard b might be far more habitable than previously thought.
NASA Finds Strange Alien Planet Hiding Outside Our Solar System
It’s very small and very cool.
Genetic Code That Turns Animals Monogamous Identified By Scientists
Researchers say similar gene profile may have a role in long-term partnerships formed by humans.
How The Brain Enables Us To Rapidly Focus Attention
Researchers have discovered a key mechanism in the brain that may underlie our ability to rapidly focus attention. Our brains are continuously bombarded with information from the senses, yet our level of vigilance to such input varies, allowing us to selectively focus on one conversation and not another.
Researchers Develop 128Mb STT-MRAM With World’s Fastest Write Speed For Embedded Memory
A research team has successfully developed 128Mb-density STT-MRAM (spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random access memory) with a write speed of 14 ns for use in embedded memory applications, such as cache in IOT and AI. This is currently the world’s fastest write speed for embedded memory application with a density over 100Mb and will pave the way for the mass-production of large capacity STT-MRAM.
Someone Drilled Through The International Space Station From The Inside, Astronaut Says
Mysterious gap has led to a wide variety of accusations.
Saturn Is Losing Its Rings At ‘Worst-Case-Scenario’ Rate
New NASA research confirms that Saturn is losing its iconic rings at the maximum rate estimated from Voyager 1 & 2 observations made decades ago. The rings are being pulled into Saturn by gravity as a dusty rain of ice particles under the influence of Saturn’s magnetic field.
Strangest Scientific Discovery Of 2018? Memory Formation Appears To Be Facilitated By The Same Mechanism As A Viral Infection
A pair of papers published in Cell on January 11 suggest that the protein encoded by one such gene uses its virus-like structure to shuttle information between cells: a new form of cellular communication that may be key to long-term memory formation and other neurological functions.
Engineers Fly First-Ever Plane With No Moving Parts (VIDEO)
MIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever plane with no moving parts. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an “ionic wind” — a silent but mighty flow of ions that is produced aboard the plane, and that generates enough thrust to propel the plane over a sustained, steady flight.
