Researchers have developed a genetic tool that can eradicate harmful microbes and viruses found in drinking water.
Duke University engineers demonstrated that short strands of genetic material could successfully target a matching portion of a gene in a common fungus found in water and make it stop working. If this new ...

Ray Kurzweil has earned a reputation for wild-eyed predictions about the future of technology by being right, not wrong.
Needless to say, nobody is racing to dismiss his latest prediction about the future, which happens to be about solar power. Kurzweil, the author of several works including The Singularity Is Near ...

Scientists are studying obscure, self-sustaining, bacterial communities that live extreme environments. These bacteria have evolved to flourish in conditions previously thought incompatible with life. For instance, "chemoautogrophs" are bacteria that do not depend on light for life.
Humans and most other land-dwelling organisms ultimately get their energy from the Sun, with ...

1. Blue Power Home Networks
Blue Power Home Networks has designed the prototype of a new energy control system that will allow consumers to reduce their use of electricity. If widely adopted, the technology could reduce the strain on grid infrastructure during peak load hours, which have led to several ...
