(PhysOrg.com) -- Science has taken one more step towards creating a true real-life cloaking device. Assistant Professor Andrea Alůin and his colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin have successfully created a cloaking device capable of "hiding" a 3D object in free space from microwaves

More than a decade ago, the frequency comb technique was developed at the Max Planck In-stitute of Quantum Optics by Professor Theodor W. H

How would you feel if parts of your home, your car, or the airliner you were flying in had blood flowing in artificial veins and arteries? Nicely chilled is the answer

Now that we can sequence genomes, doctors now have enough complex genetic information to know what ailments you might encounter in the future and how best to treat them. The IT Future of Medicine project would help docs tailor care for individuals using genetically identical "virtual patients." Personalized medicine--the practice of treating patients based on their genetic makeup--has been a dream of the medical community ever since the human genome was sequenced. But the reality is that most doctors aren't equipped to sift through the mounds of data that come along with treating each patient using individually customized protocols.

Smoking is still bad for you, but tobacco may have finally been redeemed. Cigarettes cause a nearly endless amount of health problems--heart disease, lung cancer, and asthma are just a few of the more common issues triggered by the tobacco-filled sticks

New research from Pew highlights the high civic enthusiasm of social media users. When the scramble for Facebook fans is exhausted, the study suggests, LinkedIn could become the new political battleground. All of those Likes might be good practice for the real thing

Mimicking the highly efficient power-generation process of photosynthesis, an artificial leaf could change how the world gets energy. And new developments at MIT mean it could happen in the next few years. Earlier this year, MIT professor Daniel Nocera made a discovery : By dipping a cobalt-and phosphate-coated artificial silicon leaf into a jar of water, he could effectively mimic photosynthesis and create power at an efficiency greater than today's solar panels

Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU, Germany) have built what is currently the strongest source of ultracold neutrons. Ultracold neutrons (UCNs) were first generated here five years ago.
