The question of how to track and locate first responders in an involved structure that blocks radio signals has long frustrated firefighters. Could a NASA electromagnetic tracker help them rescue lives without risking theirs?

SpaceX isn't building the Hyperloop itself, but it’s playing a big part in getting it off the ground by hosting a pod design competition. To find out what goes into creating a Hyperloop pod, we spoke to VicHyper, one of 30 teams whose design was selected to be built and tested in January next year.

Using terahertz radiation, a new prototype device from MIT researchers can accurately identify letters written in a stack of paper up to nine pages in depth.

Albert Einstein is famous for his theories on relativity, but what of his other grand hypothesis, the unified field theory that consumed the last 30 years of his life without resolution? So will a unified theory of everything ever be realized?
-
A research team at the Ohio State University has created electromechanical devices that look like tiny leafless trees and can generate electricity when they are moved by seismic activity, the slight swaying movements of a tall building, or the vibrations from traffic on a bridge.
-
Ferrolic uses ferrofluid to tell the time. This mysterious liquid reacts to electromagnets, meaning it can be manipulated to form numbers like an ever-evolving Rorschach test.
-
A research team has recently created an energy-scavenging system that charges a smartphone's battery, letting it last up to 30 percent longer per charge – and the system does so using radio signals emanating from the phone itself.

Sufferers of type 1 diabetes regularly need to inject themselves with insulin in order to regulate levels of sugar in their blood. But scientists have remotely manipulated insulin production in mice using electromagnetic waves suggesting more comfortable treatments may not be all that far away.
-
ThyssenKrupp has unveiled an innovative Willy Wonka-like elevator system that allows horizontal movement, and makes complex lift shafts featuring large numbers of lifts possible. The technology poses significant implications for the future of tall buildings.
-
We all know that you should boil only what you need in a kettle to avoid wasting energy, but overfilling is still very common. The Miito combats this problem by using induction heating to boil just the water you need.
-
Researchers at the University of Texas have produced a miniature version of a component essential to multi-frequency radio that may well revolutionize the design and construction of cellphones, transceivers, and other portable communications devices.
