Scientists working at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, have created a device that employs wireless signals to determine emotions in someone at a distance. The device is called the EQ Radio and it can measure a person’s heartbeat and breathing to determine what emotions a person may be feeling. At least, this is …
Scientists at the University of North Carolina have taken a huge step forward with regard to battling a rare brain tumor by using regular skin cells. The skin cells are actually being turned into hunters as they are injected into a particular part of the brain and they are able to track the cancer cells …

The possibility, and the reality, of large crowds stampeding in a emergency is, sadly, no longer a possibility. From live shooters at crowded international airports, to huge sporting or entertainment events, to religious congregations at such sites as Mecca, the danger of stampeding people who have no where to go is all to frighteningly real. …
Two Stanford research scientists have developed a system whereby monkeys are able to text up to 12 words a minute. The researchers believe that their work is going to be able to help those with afflictions that prevent them from communicating effectively. They think, they say, that these new experiments will design more effective technology …
Researchers at MIT have created a camera that allows someone to actually read a closed book. By using terahertz radiation, the research scientists were able to develop the camera so that they could see and read the contents of a closed book. They hope it will aid in scholarly research done by those who research …
A French research company called Kallistem has announced that they have created human sperm in controlled laboratory conditions. The research team claims, that after 20 years, they now have it down to a process that takes 72 days to complete. This has never been done before. In 2011, Japanese scientists created rat sperm and the …
