A creative integration of AI-assisted imaging with the technology of an outdated inkjet printer results in a more efficient and cost-effective method for detecting bacteria…
Scientists at Rice University have discovered a new workable feature of a particular class of 2D materials. Rice University materials scientist Boris Yakobson and his…
A common ingredient, salt, may play a significant role in the shift towards lower carbon energy sources, according to a recent study conducted by researchers…
Efficient, low-cost transistors have a wide range of applications, including biomedical sensing. A multidisciplinary Northwestern University research team has created a groundbreaking transistor that is…
A persistent technological challenge has been the difficulty in scaling down the electrochemical performance of large-format batteries to smaller, microscale power sources, hindering their ability…
A new battery has been developed that boasts four times the capacity of lithium batteries, and at a more affordable cost. An international team of…
Princeton Engineering researchers have developed a cost-effective way to use breakfast foods to create a material that can remove salt and microplastics from seawater. The…
A jellyfish-like soft gripper simulates the mechanics of curly hair. You are aware of how difficult it is to grasp and hold onto items with…
A robot created by Columbia Engineers learns to understand itself rather than the environment around it. Our perception of our bodies is not always correct or…
From nuclear proliferation to climate change, Richard K. Lester taps research talent to map a path toward a sustainable planet. Looking back on nearly a…
Dutch shipbuilder Royal Huisman applied the same concurrent engineering process developed by ESA for space missions to the design of superyacht Sea Eagle II, due…
Taking a cue from biological cells, scientists from MIT, Columbia University, and elsewhere have developed computationally simple robots that connect in large groups to move…
“Omniphobic” might sound like a way to describe someone who is afraid of everything, but it actually refers to a special type of surface that…
The inner workings of high-power electronic devices must remain cool to operate reliably. High internal temperatures can make programs run slower, freeze or shut down….
Have you ever plugged in a vacuum cleaner, only to have it turn off without warning before the job is done? Or perhaps your desk…
These days, many retailers and manufacturers are tracking their products using RFID, or radio-frequency identification tags. Often, these tags come in the form of paper-based…
As a single raindrop falls to the ground, it can splash back up in a crown-like sheet, spraying smaller droplets from its rim before sinking…
Rutgers University-New Brunswick engineers have created a 3D-printed smart gel that walks underwater and grabs objects and moves them. The watery creation could lead to…
