Just like Spider-man, soon humans will be able to walk on the walls! Thanks to a palm-sized device invented at Cornell that uses water surface tension as an adhesive bond. The rapid adhesion mechanism could lead to such applications as shoes or gloves that stick and unstick to walls, or Post-it-like notes that can bear loads, according to Paul Steen, Read more »

Researchers at Siemens have improved on their own record for wireless data transfer using white light-emitting diode (LED) light. In collaboration with the Heinrich Hertz Institute in Berlin, they have achieved a data transfer rate of up to 500 megabits per second (Mbit/s), which is definitely impressive compared to the previous record of 200 Mbit/s. Wireless data transport by means Read more »
