The modern world runs on electricity, and wires are what carry that electricity to every light, television, heating system, cellphone and computer on the planet. Unfortunately, on average, about 5% of the power generated at a coal or solar power plant is lost as the electricity is transmitted from the plant to its final destination. […]

A new 3D-printing technique using silicone can make accurate models of the blood vessels in your brain, enabling neurosurgeons to train with more realistic simulations before they operate, according to our recently published research. Many neurosurgeons practice each surgery before they get into the operating room based on models of what they know about the […]

And to do that, you must test and […]

Evidence for current volcanic activity on the planet Venus has recently made the news. But Venus is far from the only world beyond Earth to exhibit signs of volcanic activity. In fact, having volcanic activity (volcanism) on planets is quite common. Here are four worlds which boast active volcanoes, from Mars to the far flung […]

Imagine what life would be like if you couldn’t recognise your own family and friends unless they told you who they were. Now imagine no one will believe you and that even your doctor dismisses you, saying everyone forgets names sometimes. Two recent studies show this is a common experience for people with a brain […]

What Is a Microservices Architecture? A microservices architecture is a software development approach where a large, complex application is broken down into smaller, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. Each service is designed to perform a specific business capability and communicates with other services through well-defined interfaces using lightweight protocols such […]
