Astronaut Scott Kelly Grew 2 Inches in Space and Aged Less Than People on Earth Image Credit: NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly Grew 2 Inches in Space and Aged Less Than People on Earth After 340 days on the International Space Station, Scott Kelly grew 2 inches taller than his twin brother who spent the time on Earth, CNBC reports. Gaining a couple inches is pretty common among astronauts who spend a significant amount of time in space. That's because the microgravity environment allows room ...

Telomere-lengthening procedure turns clock back years in human cells Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have developed a new procedure to increase the length of human telomeres. This increases the number of times cells are able to divide, essentially making the cells many years younger. This not only has useful applications for laboratory work, but may point the way to treating various age-related disorders – or even muscular dystrophy. The role of telomeres and telo...

Ok, so it may not be quite as ambitious as some all-purpose cleaning robots, but this so-called KAR robot arm developed by a group of researchers from Panasonic and the University of Tokyo does appear to at least do the sole task it was designed for relatively well. While it can't exactly "wash" the dishes, per se, it can apparently pick up even delicate dishes without damaging them, dip them in the water, load them into a dishwasher, and even turn on said dishwasher. The researchers apparently ...

Sony’s new LED bulb with an integrated Bluetooth speaker isn’t a new idea. There are actually several models already out on the market which provide this juncture between light and sound. What this new Sony model has going for it is its decor-friendly design, a light fixture which you wouldn’t mind keeping out in the open for everyone to see…and hear. At just 360-lumen brightness, this bulb is more about mood lighting than a bright spot bulb, which probably makes great sense considering y...

Ironing is a tedious chore, but wearing crumpled clothing is unprofessional. That's why "wrinkle-resistant" garments have become so popular. But the current methods for making these textiles often release formaldehyde -- a chemical that in large amounts is hazardous to human health -- into the air and water. Now a team reports in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering a method for making wrinkle-resistant cotton fabrics that is more environmentally friendly and cost effective. Manufactur...

Automatic braking by the system after sensing an obstacle can be executed in two modes. In collision avoidance, the collision is avoided by the automatic braking, but the driver will not be warned in this type of system. There is a very good chance of wrongly interpreting the signals, especially in the case of radars or lasers. So this is not so effective method of automatic braking. In collision mitigation system,the sensors detect the possibility of collision but will not take immediate action...

Scifi movies are sometimes criticized when explosions in the void make noise.  As the old saying goes, “in space, no one can hear you scream.” Without air there is no sound. But if that’s true, what was space physicist Don Gurnett talking about when he stated at a NASA press conference in Sept. 2013 that he had heard "the sounds of interstellar space?" It turns out that space can make music … if you know how to listen. https://youtu.be/jgQ9THRckJ0 What does deep space sound like? A n...

Displair is a 3D interactive raster display technology developed by a Russian company of the same name. The Displair projects images onto sheets of water droplets suspended in air, giving the illusion of a hologram. Unlike other cold fog projecting technologies, the images projected by the Displair can also respond rapidly to multi-touch manipulation, as well as allowing taste and aroma to be incorporated. Maxim Kamanin presented the first prototype of Displair displays, a technological advance...

Dr. Josiah Zayner, a research fellow in NASA's synthetic bi...

Gene Therapy for Diseases Gene Therapy has made important medical advances in less than two decades. Within this short time span, it has moved from the conceptual stage to technology development and laboratory research to clinical translational trials for a variety of deadly diseases. Among the most notable advancements are the following: Gene Therapy for Genetic Disorders Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (ADA-SCID) ADA-SCID is also known as the bubble boy disease. Affected children are b...

The first gene identified for graying hair has been discovered by an international UCL-led study, confirming graying has a genetic component and is not just environmental. Published today in Nature Communications, the study analyzed a population of over 6,000 people with varied ancestry across Latin America to identify new genes associated with hair color, graying, density and shape - i.e. straight or curly. "We already know several genes involved in balding and hair color but this is the ...

Team of computer scientists from MIT has been developing technologies that allow for long-distance motion detection for several years; using wireless signals, they created a high-tech motion sensor that could allow parents to monitor their baby's breathing from the other side of the house or firefighters to determine if there are living survivors in a burning building. Now, the researchers have taken the technology one step further, and have used Wifi signals to allow you to see through walls. ...

“Fliike” sounds like the Norwegian word for a bicycle made of forks, so you may be disappointed to find out that it’s actually the name of a Facebook “like” counter that businesses can display to show off how popular they are on the social network. Created by French start-up Smiirl, the Fliike is now available for pre-order on their website, and it offers something that many stores may find intriguing: A way to showcase a digital presence in a tangible, attention-grabbing way. It’s a physical...

Wind tunnels are machines for "flying" aircraft on the ground. They are tubelike structures or passages in which wind is produced, usually by a large fan, to flow over objects such as aircraft, engines, wings, rockets or models of these objects. A stationary object is placed in the test section of a tunnel and connected to instruments that measure and record airflow around the object and the aerodynamic forces that act upon it. From information gathered in these observations, engineers can deter...

The NASA Clean Air Study[1] has been led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in association with the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA). Its results suggest that certain common indoor plants may provide a natural way of removing toxic agents such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from the air, helping neutralize the effects of sick building syndrome. INDOOR AIR POLLUTION IS RANKED AMONG TOP 5 HEALTH RISKS TO PUBLIC HEALTH - WHAT IS CAUSING ...

The use of water clocks has its roots from Archimedes during the rise of Alexandria in Egypt and continues on through Byzantium. The water clocks by Persian engineer Al-Jazari, however, are credited for going "well beyond anything" that had preceded them. In al-Jazari's 1206 treatise, he describes one of his water clocks, the elephant clock. The clock recorded the passage of temporal hours, which meant that the rate of flow had to be changed daily to match the uneven length of days throughout...
