An international team of mechanical engineers has developed what they call a fracture-driven, power-amplified hydrogel launcher. They have published their discovery in the journal Nature Materials.This article was originally published on this website.
Someday, instead of large, expensive individual space satellites, teams of smaller satellites—known by scientists as a “swarm”—will work in collaboration, enabling greater accuracy, agility, and autonomy. Among the scientists working to make these teams a […]
Graphene plasmon polaritons are a class of hybrid quasi-particles with advantageous optoelectronic properties. These particles have proved promising for the development of miniaturized nanoscale circuits that operate in the terahertz and mid-infrared regions of the […]
Researchers at Yokohama National University have developed a stretchy, high-precision measurement wearable device that combines soft polymer materials and rigid electronic elements. This device can accurately measure inertial data even if it extends up to […]
Nissan showed Tuesday what it called a “cool paint” to keep people inside vehicles cooler, although the coating is six times thicker, making commercialization still a challenge.This article was originally published on this website.
In recent years, engineers and scientists worldwide have been working on new technologies for generating electricity from renewable energy sources, including photovoltaics (PVs), wind turbines and hydro-power generators. An alternative solution for mitigating the impact […]
Unlike traditionally printed circuit boards, which are flat, 3D circuitry enables components to be stacked and integrated vertically—dramatically reducing the footprint required for devices.This article was originally published on this website.
Freshwater scarcity affects over two billion people in the world, primarily in arid and remote regions, as well as islands and coastal areas without freshwater sources. Climate change and population growth are only making the […]
A sustainable source for clean energy may lie in old soda cans and seawater. MIT engineers have found that when the aluminum in soda cans is exposed in its pure form and mixed with seawater, […]
A new method to measure the continuous spectrum of light, developed in the lab of University of Houston professor of electrical and computer engineering Jiming Bao, is set to improve thermal imaging and infrared thermography, […]
