When light hits the surface of some materials, namely those exhibiting a property known as photoresistance, it can induce changes in their electrical conductivity. Graphene is among these materials, as incident light can excite electrons […]
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a significant concern in the chemical and electronics industries. In electronics, ESD often causes integrated circuit failures due to rapid voltage and current discharges from charged objects, such as human […]
Using a custom-built machine to launch microprojectiles at supersonic speeds, Cornell researchers have uncovered new details about how high-speed metallic collisions can form strong, durable atomic bonds, offering insights that could enhance 3D printing and […]
Imagine a robot that can detect scents in the air and track down their sources as efficiently as a dog or a mouse. If realized, it could detect small wildfires in dense forests, find people […]
When Nikola Tesla predicted we’d have handheld phones that could display videos, photographs, and more, his musings seemed like a distant dream. Nearly 100 years later, smartphones are like an extra appendage for many of […]
A Northwestern University-led team of engineers has developed a new type of wearable device that stimulates the skin to deliver various complex sensations.This article was originally published on this website.
Data is power. According to Dinesh Bharadia, an associate professor at UC San Diego in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and […]
By mimicking the structure of a leaf beetle, researchers have developed a superhydrophobic surface resistant to water droplet impact and pressure. This technology is anticipated to enhance efficiency and reduce maintenance costs across various industries, […]
Over the past decade, wearable electronics—especially those with health care applications—have become increasingly popular, but researchers are still figuring out the best way to power them.This article was originally published on this website.
Someday, people might finally say goodbye to defrosting the freezer or scraping frost off slippery surfaces. Northwestern University engineers have developed a new strategy that prevents frost formation before it begins.This article was originally published […]
