Should we have ever found ourselves in a situation in which we were so pressed for time at work and there was clearly no chance of meeting deadlines that we skipped lunch in a bid to make up for it, things are about to change. Heinz, the company making ketchup and other types of canned food, has developed BenzaWave, ... |

The old idea of building an ample array of satellites and send them in the orbit of the Earth to collect and transmit energy via microwaves has been added estimative numbers. Although highly feasible in the long run, the project that would change economy, life and environment altogether is still a distant dream for a... |

Extremely fine, like flour, but still sandpaper-rough, moon dust infiltrates the astronauts' spacesuits, causing "lunar hay fever," and creates dust storms within the shuttle cabins. All of the Apollo missions that took place between 1969 and 1972 reported the same major problem: lunar dust. As professor La... |

Microwave ovens heat up food by generating an electromagnetic wave with an alternating electric component. As the wave interacts with molecules of water in the food, having a positive charge at one end and a negative one at the other, it forces them to rotate and align with the electric field. At the same time, other... |

Wireless power transmission was first demonstrated as a viable way to transmit electric energy over long distances between electric and electronic devices by Nicola Tesla during the early 1900s at the Colorado Springs experiment station, when he remotely powered a set of lights in the ground. Tesla's idea was in... |

They entered our lives less than four decades ago. Today most people can't imagine life without microwave ovens due to their extremely high efficiency and ability to cook and heat up food in short amounts of time. You just put food in the oven, set up a timer and at the end of the cycle all you have to do is eat... |

Scientists have often wondered why the universe appears to be so 'quiet'. We're not yet sure if intelligent alien life exists in our galaxy, although our math puts it very simple and clear. We're not alone in the universe. So where is everybody then? There are two possible answers for this questio... |

After two additional years of measurements with NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, which narrowed the uncertainty by a few tens of millions of years, last week astronomers finally confirmed the precise age of the universe: 13.73 billion years, give or take 120 million years. "Everything is tightening ... |

Metamaterials promise us optical and acoustic invisibility, even if, for now, such phenomenons are restricted to certain wavelengths and 2-dimensional use. Scientists now believe that, by using the electromagnetic properties of metamaterials, smaller resonating circuits can be produced (such as those generating micro... |

The universe is certainly not empty, that's a fact, but its not very dense either. Today, the visible universe consists mostly of empty space, void, while ordinary matter accounts for only 4 percent of the total mass. So where is the rest of 95 percent of the universe's mass? In dark energy and dark matter,... |

Unlike other ideas proposed by certain people, including filling up the atmosphere with colloidal carbon in order to block the sunlight and cultivate seaweed to extract the carbon dioxide excess, it seems that, at this year's UN climate conference, the Pentagon finally had a realistic solution for an alternative... |

New devices operating in the terahertz wavelength of the light spectrum could change the way security and medical detections are usually being made. Electromagnetic wave sent as terahertz frequencies, also known as T-ray operate in the 300 gigahertz to 3 terahertz domain close to the edge of the microwave spectrum, o... |

'Wormholes' are mostly associated to black holes, and usually it denotes the possibility of time travel or space travel over great distances, at speeds that do not pass the speed of light, while passing through a singularity. Recently, Yaroslav Kurylev at the University College London in the UK, came up wit... |

Did it ever happen to you to buy a new CD or DVD only to find out that the optical drive doesn't recognize it? There's a good way of making it readable again and it doesn't involve rocket science. It just requires a good hot bath.Not for you, for the disk. Boiling disks in water for a short time can r... |

Plastics are durable and degrade very slowly. One of the main advantages of this material is the low price and incredible versatility, which led to a rapid expansion of plastic compounds in almost all industry areas.The problem is that it's made of oil and should petroleum prices continue to rise, so will the c... |

There are many apparently bizarre theories about the case of the rampant current obesity in the western countries. A new one put the blame on ... the microwaves. "Obesity rates started to rise soon after 1984 - around the time of the rapid spread of microwave ownership. The mid-1980s also saw the first ready-meals a... |

A well-designed product usually gets the peoples' attention, if it has remarkable characteristics, it means that it will be appreciated by the general public, but when you say it has diamonds included in its manufacturing process, your mind flies away to some out of the ordinary gadget. This time you could actua... |
