The study by experts at the University of Birmingham in the UK compared the new system against two recently developed methods using econometrics - the application of statistical methods to economic data.

The ability to control the chromatic dispersion of flat lenses broadens their applications and introduces new applications that have not yet been possible.

The key to the paradox may lie in the way the participants view their own selfies, compared with those of others.

The researchers' analysis was based on biometric and morphological characterisation.

Flow batteries store energy in liquid solutions in external tanks - the bigger the tanks, the more energy they store. They are a promising storage solution for renewable, intermittent energy like wind and solar.

Makers of hard drives want to fabricate tiny, near-perfect crystals so that they can be easily magnetised and will hold a magnetic field for a long time.

Researchers have long sought to determine how the universe's accelerated expansion is being driven.

When applied to a surface, the metamaterial film cools the object underneath by efficiently reflecting incoming solar energy back into the space while simultaneously allowing the surface to shed its own heat in the form of infrared thermal radiation.

Scientists say that human feet are more mobile than those of chimpanzees.

Researchers discovered the ancient recipe by studying the residue on the inner walls of pottery vessels found in an excavated site in northeast China.

A new study has revealed that human feet are more mobile than those of chimpanzees.

For many guitarists, the sound of an overdriven valve amp - think AC/DC's crunchy Marshall rhythm tones or Carlos Santana's singing Mesa Boogie-fuelled leads - can not be beaten, researchers said.

The excavators, including Oren Gutfeld and Ahiad Ovadia from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel, are the first in over 60 years to discover a new scroll cave and to properly excavate it.

Bitcoin was initially conceived as a way for people to exchange money anonymously. However, it was discovered that anyone could track all Bitcoin transactions and often identify the parties involved, researchers said.

 When the tide goes out, water drains from the marshes, carrying sediment and carbon.

The researchers from the University of Southampton and the Sweden-based Flowminder Foundation found that by combining mobile data and geospatial data from satellites, they were able to produce poverty predictions which are comparable with those made from traditional sources, but with significant advantages.

A lawyer reviewing municipal account documents in a village next to the Strazov Mountains of Slovakia, signed his go-ahead by drawing a small circle with two dots and a line - an image recognised today as a smiley-face emoji.

Isolating drinkable water from the ocean in a cost effective way is a problem that has stumped scientists for years.

 Numerous websites for students offering work space and boarding to anyone who's having trouble after these policies were put into effect have been set up and the response is huge.  

Engineers from the University of California-San Diego have developed an absorbing material called near-perfect broadband absorber that can absorb more than 87 per cent of near-infrared light.

The material, developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego in the US, is called a near-perfect broadband absorber.

The robots, that move when water is pumped in and out of them, are made entirely of hydrogel - a tough, rubbery, nearly transparent material composed mostly of water.

Your brain may be wired to go into overdrive on hearing such trigger noises, researchers including one of Indian-origin have found.

However, their wing flexibility and complex wing kinematics pose significant technological challenges for robot modelling, design, and control.

Once built, the computer's capabilities mean it would have the potential to answer many questions in science; create new, lifesaving medicines and solve the most mind-boggling scientific problems, researchers said.

For the study, the team of researchers from Northwest A&F University in China, used CRISPR to insert the new gene in 11 calves.

NASA Twins Study debuted at NASA’s Human Research Program’s annual Investigators’ Workshop in Galveston, Texas the week of January 23.

Libratus, an AI programme developed at Carnegie Mellon University in the US, was trained to play a variant of the game known as no-limit heads-up Texas hold 'em.

The technology developed by researchers at Iowa State University in the US may help people charge household appliances without the need for large wind turbines.

Researchers believe that the device could help turn the issue of global water shortage around especially in developing areas and regions affected by natural disasters.
