– Manuscript – Large clothing and technology companies, including Siemens AG and Levi Strauss & Co., are developing robots to make clothes. The process of using robots or computers for human work, known as automation, has raised concerns about jobs for many people around the world. Eugen Solowjow heads an automated clothes manufacturing project at a Siemens lab in San … [Read more...] about Companies Develop Robots to Make Clothes

– Manuscript – Restaurants, farmers, and food businesses are turning to chemistry and physics to deal with the problem of food waste. Some companies are testing coverings to slow the ripening process in fruit and packets to keep food fresh. Others are developing digital sensors that can tell when meat is safe to eat. Background Experts say growing awareness of the … [Read more...] about Companies Develop Technologies to Deal with Food Waste

– Manuscript – Scientists have found new information about an area in the American state of Nevada that contains fossils of giant marine reptiles. Scientists previously thought it was a place where they came to die. But they now think it may have been where the reptiles came to give birth. The area is famous for its fossils from giant ichthyosaurs. Those are reptiles … [Read more...] about Nevada Fossil Site Could Be Ancient Reptile Birthing Area

– Manuscript – Scientists working on Australia's Great Barrier Reef have successfully tested a new method for freezing and storing coral larvae. Larvae are the very young form of the small ocean animal. Coral creates reefs, structures in the ocean that support entire ecosystems. However, climate change is threatening the existence of such reefs. The science project in … [Read more...] about Scientists Freeze Great Barrier Reef Coral

– Manuscript – Scientists say they have successfully used a quantum computer to “teleport” messages between two simulated black holes. Quantum computing uses elements of quantum physics to complete operations too complex for traditional computers. Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at the level of atoms, or smaller. Researchers recently announced they … [Read more...] about Scientists Use Quantum Computer for Teleportation Experiment
