Experts are developing an assisted steering system, which comes to the drivers’ rescue in the nick of time, when they have even run out of chances to stamp on the brake pedal. The emergency steer assist (ESA) apparatus, which aids the driver in lateral vehicle guidance, is in development by German supplier TRW Automotive in cooperation with scientists from Dortmund Technical University. When required,... 

NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman has uploaded a mesmerizing six second Vine clip showing a time-lapse of the never-setting sun as it can be seen from the International Space Station. “1st Vine from space! Single Earth orbit. Sun never sets flying parallel w/terminator line #ISS #Exp40,” Wiseman wrote as he posted the video. The brief snapshot compresses a 92-minute ISS circle of the earth into a six... 

A computer monitor showing a conversation between a human participant and “Eugene” the supercomputer. A computer program has made Artificial Intelligence history by unrecognizably impersonating a human with a 30-plus percent accuracy. The program, named Eugene, was made to engage in conversation with judges at the Royal Society in London on Saturday, pretending to be supposed teenager Eugene... 

Babies exposed to dirt and a wide variety of household bacteria in the first year of life are less likely threatened by allergies and asthma, a new research unraveled. Contact with bacteria and even roach allergens in the first year of life may help protect infants against future allergies and wheezing. The study researchers followed 467 newborns for three years, monitoring them for allergies annually... 

Wiping out memories at a press of a button, just like with a ‘neuralizer’ from the Men in Black movie, may soon become a reality. Researchers have managed to erase and then restore lost memory in genetically modified rats with a flash of light. The study by researchers from University of California in San Diego, published in Nature journal , is the first cause-and-effect evidence that strengthening... 

Organ replication took a leap at a Boston hospital, as doctors finally nailed the process of artificial vascularization with the use of advances in 3D bio printing together with biomaterials in order to create the first synthetic blood vessels. Although huge strides have already been made in replicating all sorts of human tissue and organs, making delicate conduits from scratch was still some way... 

This June 2, 2014 handout provided by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, shows the newly discovered ‘mega-Earth’ Kepler-10c dominating the foreground in this artist’s conception. Discovery of a huge rocky planet 17 times as heavy as the Earth has prompted scientists to, judging from its age, rethink the origins of the universe. Kepler-10c, the new find by NASA’s... 

Forget close encounters of a third kind. Imagine galactic encounters with millions of planets in the Milky Way galaxy, each of them overflowing with complex life forms. A new study says it’s a possibility. Although researchers are nearly unanimous in the belief that some other life forms exist in the great expanse of outer space, the worlds that any intelligent life forms inhabit are probably too... 

Samsung has officially declared war on Apple iPads. In recent years Apple iPads have always destroyed any Samsung tablets. Samsung Galaxy Tab series have never stood a chance against the big boss iPads. They were always behind in screen resolution, image quality and even hardware parts. Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 has never been a real competitor to Apple iPad Air. They both came out in the same year,... 

The world’s alleged first quantum computer has, according to scientists, managed to play host to an important quantum physics activity. D-Wave, as the computer has been named, draws upon radical new physics to attack mathematical quandaries, and is alleged by the Canadian company’s executives to be the first practical quantum computer. The quantum physics activity is called entanglement, which... 

The Andromeda spiral galaxy A short time ago, in a galaxy very, very close by, a NASA satellite thought it detected a gamma ray burst in Andromeda. It was a false alarm, but astronomers used the opportunity as a reminder that “our galaxy and Andromeda are set for a head-on collision” even though it is widely accepted that galaxies in the universe tend to distance themselves from one another. NASA’s... 

US search engine Google is developing cars which are rendered needless of steering wheels, brakes and gas pedals. Co-founder Sergey Brin told a Southern California tech conference on Tuesday that the company will make 100 prototype self-driving cars. The driver-free vehicles are also fitted with start and stop buttons. It is to be made for two occupants and early editions are to run at only 40 kilometers... 

Solar panels that you can drive, park, and walk on. They melt snow and cut greenhouse gases by 75-percent. Solar Roadways is a modular paving system of solar panels that can also withstand the heaviest of trucks (250,000 pounds). These Solar Road Panels can be installed on roads, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, bike paths, playgrounds, literally any surface under the sun. They pay for themselves... 

Researchers in London have found a way to make matter from light, using high powered lasers. The idea behind the theory was first thought up 80 years ago by two physicists, who were to work later on creating the world’s first atomic bomb. In 1934, US physicists Gregory Breit and John Wheeler worked out that, on very rare occasions, two particles of light (photons) could combine to produce an electron... 

News reports included an image purportedly of staff from the NSA’s Tailored Access Operations unwrapping a Cisco box. Cisco’s CEO John Chambers has asked US president Barack Obama to consider new rules preventing agencies hijacking networking equipment at it moves through the supply chain, or risk undermining confidence in the multi-billion dollar US technology sector. In a letter dated...
