MRI machines may be used to “talk” using only the power of thought. According to researchers from the Netherlands and Germany, the technology described in an article from the journal Current Biology, uses specific brain patterns to encode each letter of the alphabet and a mental “space key” . Thus, using only their...
It should not take long for space travel be marketed, at least not to rely on companies wishing to enter this business. Until now, there are two conducting tests with prototypes: Blue Origin (created by founder Jeff Bezos of Amazon) and Sierra Nevada Corporation. The company Bezos has a different spacecraft from traditional of biconical shape,...
Photographing the sky is not easy due to its size. For this task to be performed with greater ease, is being built the largest digital camera in the world. With almost the sizeof a car, the sensor of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) has an ability to capture up to 3,200 megapixels (or 3.2 gigapixels) and allow the...
The password of the future may use your heart rate and even brain waves to recognize who you are. Ken Revette, founder of the International Journal of Cognitive Biometrics, said this week that will soon come a time when input devices are no longer required for recognition. Reactions to a particular image is being studied...
Last year The U.S. retired its fleet of space shuttles, after completing construction of the International Space Station, a proposed $ 100 billion involving 15 countries. Now, NASA Space Agency (U.S.) began to develop a new generation of ships capable of carrying astronauts to destinations farther than the station, which is 384...
In July 1976, the Viking I spacecraft landed on Mars looking for signs of life, but at the time the scientists said that nothing had been found. However, more than 30 years later, the researchers point out that the experiment was flawed and that we can say with 99% certainty that there is life on the Red Planet. A new...
Heidi Hankins, an English girl of only 4 years old, has just been accepted by Mensa, the international organization that brings together people with IQs in the range of the highest 2% of the population, after reaching 159 points in official tests, leaving only one point below geniuses like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

If your parents claim you usually sit very close to the TV for playing video games, saying it can ruin your vision, be aware that, in fact, the result may be just the opposite. UK researchers found that the video games can be used in diagnosis and also in the treatment of diseases related to vision. A disorder known...
Some scientists using the Observatory of Paris came to the conclusion that small asteroids can be considered natural satellites. According to published in Live Science, the asteroids with some meters in length end up getting caught in the gravitational pull of Earth, orbiting the planet just as the moon On a much smaller...
The National Research Center of France published the news that a group of paleontologists has made an amazing discovery. They found in Brazil and Uruguay a series of fossilized embryos of reptiles about 280 million years, ie 60 million years older than the embryos considered the oldest in the world until now. The...
Stephen Hawking is using iBrain, a black headband with a small device with the size of a matchbox, to help Dr. Philip Low in creating a machine that can ”read the thought,” reports the New York Times. The iBrain will be used to monitor conditions of sleep apnea, autism or other diseases. The device can collect information...
NASA (North American Space Agency) recently found an eddy on Mars. The images show ”Dust Devil” with over 800 feet tall and a tail of about 30 meters. This phenomenon is common on Mars. The images captured by the HiRISE camera(Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) of NASA, show traces of...
