Engineers pasteurise eggs in the shell
18 Dec 2014
The invention uses radio frequency (RF) energy to transmit heat through the shell and into the yolk while the egg rotates. Streams of cool water simultaneously flow over the egg to protect the delicate white. Researchers then bathe the egg in hot water to complete the pasteurisation process

The human eye can see ‘invisible’ infrared light
06 Dec 2014
Any science textbook will tell you we can't see infrared light, since it is outside the visual spectrum, but an international team of researchers has found that under certain conditions the retina can sense infrared light
Researchers create world’s fastest camera
05 Dec 2014
This camera doesn’t look like a Kodak or Cannon; rather, it is a series of devices envisioned to work with high-powered microscopes and telescopes to capture dynamic natural and physical phenomena
