  Indian Researchers Develop Energy-Efficient Method to Create Glass, Could Improve Efficiency of Data Centres

  Scientists from IISc, University of Pennsylvania, and MIT reveal a breakthrough with indium selenide that transforms crystalline structures to glass using significantly less energy. By passing a continuous electric current, the crystalline material experiences a “shock” that converts it to glass. The low energy requirement could help lower powe...

  California Team Achieved First Self-Sustaining Fusion Reaction, Fail to Replicate It

  Last year in August, a group of scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California conducted a landmark experiment that yielded more than 1.3 megajoules of energy. It was confirmed to be a nuclear fusion reaction that was energetic enough to sustain itself. However, since that day, the team has been busy conducting a series of e...

  Engineers Develop Stamp-Sized Sticker That Can Provide Ultrasound Imaging for 48 Hours

  Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have aimed to solve the issue of limited access to bulky ultrasound machines. They developed a small sticker that sticks to the skin and provides ultrasound imaging continuously for 48 hours. Currently, this is done using sophisticated and heavy equipment that requires specialised technic...
