  • Jellyfish inspires latest ocean-powered robot

    American researchers have created a robotic jellyfish, named Robojelly, which not only exhibits characteristics ideal to use in underwater search and rescue operations, but could, theoretically at least, never run out of energy thanks to it being fuelled by hydrogen. Constructed from a set of smart materials, which have the ability to change shape or […]

  • Fusion present low proliferation risk, experts conclude

    American researchers have shown that prospective magnetic fusion power systems would pose a much lower risk of being used for the production of weapon&#8211usable materials than nuclear fission reactors and their associated fuel cycle. The researchers, from Princeton University, found that if nuclear fusion power plants are designed to accommodate appropriate safeguards, there is little […]

  • The role of physics in the sinking of the Titanic

    A century on from the sinking of the Titanic, science writer Richard Corfield takes a look at the cascade of events that led to the demise of the ‘unsinkable’ ship, taking into account the maths and physics that played a significant part. At 11.40 p.m. on Sunday 14 April 1912 the Titanic, bound from Southampton […]

  • Handheld plasma flashlight rids skin of notorious pathogens

    A group of Chinese and Australian scientists have developed a handheld, battery&#8211powered plasma-producing device that can rid skin of bacteria in an instant. The device could be used in ambulance emergency calls, natural disaster sites, military combat operations and many other instances where treatment is required in remote locations. The plasma flashlight, presented today, 5 […]

  • Researchers assess radiation exposure in obese patients
