(PhysOrg.com) -- Metamaterials researchers Yaroslav Urzhumov and David Smith, working at Duke University have built a simulation of an object that can move through water without leaving a trace and claim it's a concept that could be built and used in the real world provided more research is done. In their paper, published on arXiv, the two describe how they programmed the use of metamaterials applied to an object, along with tiny water pumps, into a model to simulate an actual object moving through water without dragging some of the water with it that would normally cause turbulence.

Mobile applications can be one of the best ways to keep your consumers engaged with your brand as they are on the move. But first you have to decide whether or not you actually need it. Heres how to make that decision

On July 24, 1911, Yale University lecturer and amateur archaeologist Hiram Bingham completed a steep climb from Peru's Urubamba River valley through the thin air of the Andes Mountains to one of the most significant and lasting discoveries in archeological history--the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. Perched about 2,400 meters above sea level and 80 kilometers from the onetime Inca capital of Cusco , the "Lost City of the Incas" remained undiscovered by the Spanish throughout their conquest of Peru in the 1500s

Three books explore these innate human traits.

Researchers have been trolling Twitter for insights into the human condition since shortly after the site launched in 2006.

Working out has never been more efficient or a bigger part of a human culture than it is today. We've dug into the history of kinesiology to find the inventions and processes that changed exercise.

Rather than get stuck trying to come up with the next great innovation, consider these nine reasons why you might be better off imitating and improving upon an existing idea.

You can't dump on this idea: A new $40 million initiative by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will help develop futuristic toilets that transform human waste into usable electricity and fuel. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced on Tuesday that they are giving away more than $42 million to develop new, innovative toilets for use in the world's poorest regions

Solar panels give you clean energy, yes, but it turns out that's not all. Just by putting them on the roof, you'll start saving cash on your cooling and heating bills. Installing photovoltaic solar cells is a great way to easily tap into an environmentally-sustainable energy source, and in sunnier parts of the world it's even feasible to use them to actually make money by selling power back to the grid as part of a smart grid installation

(PhysOrg.com) -- By precisely shaking a container of shallow water, researchers have observed wave behavior that has never been seen before. In a new study, Jean Rajchenbach, Alphonse Leroux, and Didier Clamond of the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis in Nice, France, have reported the observation of two new types of standing waves in water, one of which has never been observed before in any media.

Autism, a developmental disorder that causes deficits in social behavior and communication, affects four times as many boys as girls.

After people realize the facts have been fudged, they do their best to set the record straight: judges tell juries to forget misleading testimony; newspapers publish errata. But even explicit warnings to ignore misinformation cannot erase the damage done, according to a new study from the University of Western Australia

Internet users--Facebookers most of all--are a trusting bunch. Why?

Businesses that go through incubators historically have close to a 90 percent survival rate. And today, every major city has incubators focused on getting tech-savvy start-ups off the ground. We've pinpointed some of the most productive, innovative, and nurturing start-up incubators in the country"be sure to keep an eye on their next classes of graduates.
