Developing robust water-repellent textiles is critical for outdoor, protective, and industrial applications. However, achieving long-lasting water repellency under mechanical stress has been a major challenge.This post was originally published on this site
Compact heat exchangers could enable advanced nuclear reactors that are smaller, more efficient and more affordable—but a critical step in their adoption is verifying they can withstand the high temperatures and possibly high pressures in […]
Recycled plastics are promoted on everything from water bottles and fleece jackets to shopping bags and yogurt cups: “This product is made with XX% recycled plastic.” Verifying such claims, however, is another matter because there […]
A new study, led by the University of Nottingham and conducted by a team of 72 economists and psychologists across the world, has identified a potential “private solution trap” in problems requiring international cooperation such […]
A bird banking in a crosswind doesn’t rely on spinning blades. Its wings flex, twist and respond instantly to its environment. Engineers at Rutgers University have taken a major step toward building bird-like drones that […]
A collaborative research group has developed a bio-inspired robotic system based on insect behavior which can locate odor sources both indoors and outdoors with consistent accuracy, even if one of its two sensors fails. The […]
Scientists at the University of Sharjah have developed a new machine learning model capable of predicting whether a driver is likely to be involved in an accident before getting behind the wheel. Road accidents are […]
Technological advancements and the dynamics of the platform economy make rooting out fraud more complicated than it may seem. With print media circulation and broadcast television viewership in free fall, a lot is riding on […]
Some of the 3D digital models created by researchers to depict lost neighborhoods in Columbus, Ohio, tell a clear story by placing the “ghosts” of houses that were demolished for freeway construction atop the roadways […]
Past behavior matters, especially in law enforcement where certain pre-hire misbehavior by law enforcement candidates sharply increases the likelihood of police misconduct once they are hired, according to research titled “The Importance of Not Looking […]
