Jonathan Boreyko, an associate professor in mechanical engineering, has developed an aircraft thermal management technology that stands ready for adaptation into other areas. The research…
In a step closer to skyscrapers that serve as power sources, a team led by University of Michigan researchers has set a new efficiency record…
The human brain efficiently executes highly sophisticated tasks, such as image and speech recognition, with an exceptionally lower energy budget than today’s computers can. The…
Although true “cyborgs” — part human, part robotic beings — are science fiction, researchers are taking steps toward integrating electronics with the body. Such devices…
Filter “paper” made from titanium oxide nanowires is capable of trapping pathogens and destroying them with light. This discovery by an EPFL laboratory could be…
Rooftop radiative cooling system could provide lighting power when solar energy is unavailable. Researchers have designed an off-grid, low-cost modular energy source that can efficiently…
New design overcomes long-standing LED efficiency problem — and can transform into a laser to boot. A new design for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) developed by…
Simple innovation expected to open multiple new avenues for quantum science. If we can harness it, quantum technology promises fantastic new possibilities. But first, scientists…
Cooled graphene mimics effect of enormous magnetic fields that would benefit electronics. Graphene, an extremely thin two-dimensional layer of the graphite used in pencils, buckles…
For the first time, researchers in Germany sent perovskite and organic solar cells on a rocket into space. The solar cells withstood the extreme conditions…
“The idea had been going around my head for about 15 years, but I never had the time or the resources to do anything about…
Algorithms created before the pandemic generally perform less accurately with digitally masked faces. Now that so many of us are covering our faces to help…
Bath scientists take an important step towards understanding the interaction between layers of atomically thin materials arranged in stacks. Scientists at the University of Bath…
Australian and North American physicists display rigorous, scalable diagnostic tool. Noise is the main obstacle to building large-scale quantum computers. To tame the noise (interference…
Light can sometimes play tricks on our eyes. If you look at a shiny surface, what you see will largely depend on the surrounding environment…
The speed of a message traveling in these packets is no longer affected by traveling through different materials of different densities. University of Central Florida…
