Weighing any and all types of atoms individually has been a long-standing goal in science, and now efforts done by experts from the University of Melbourne, in Australia, have brought these attempts one nano-step closer to success. In their studies of gold nanoparticles of highly uniform shapes and sizes, the investi... |

At long last, after decades of assiduous efforts, scientists were able to come up with a sound model for the movement of the atoms within a magnetic field, which could prove to be a key element in developing enhanced, less claustrophobic MRI devices. The finding, which could provide improved control of magnetic reson... |

China's space attempt may be fueled by the newly-emerging technology that the majority of scientists are now contesting. Chinese researchers are currently trying to build the "Emdrive" (electromagnetic drive), which would change all space propulsion systems in case it becomes functional. Basically, the tech... |

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... |

Oscillators are extremely important for both electronic and mechanical devices. Quartz watches, computers, radios, clocks would be rendered inoperable without the help of oscillators. The basic idea is that oscillators are required to provide with a constant clock at a given moment. The clock of an oscillator is meas... |
