The new radar technology developed by NASA could identify the heartbeats of people who had been buried under 10 feet of rubble because of the fatal 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Nepal. Such novel search-and-rescue technology is known as FINDER (Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response). By application of the microwave-radar […]

While some scientists regard movies as their muse for further creation, other resort to nature for encouragement of new invention. Inspired by “Back to the Future,” researchers have invented a hoverboard already. Furthermore, at present, they have designed a Terminator 2-style 3D printer, which could be able to produce impressive objects […]

When disaster falls, it is very vital to grasp every minute to rescue survivors trapped in a dangerous situation. In order to locate survivors more quickly, scientists have developed remote-controlled bionic cockroaches more capable than a robot in terms of maneuvering through rubble and tight spaces. The study, hosted by […]
