An Oregon State University researcher has helped create a new 3D printing approach for shape-changing materials that are likened to muscles, opening the door for improved applications in robotics as well as biomedical and energy […]

A research team has developed a technology to manufacture high-performance liquid process-based electronic parts at lower temperatures than what was previously possible by harnessing the heat of combustion generated in materials.This post was originally published […]

Cornell researchers in physics and engineering have created the smallest walking robot yet. Its mission: to be tiny enough to interact with waves of visible light and still move independently, so that it can maneuver […]

A research team has developed an eco-friendly air purification system using microbubble filters instead of conventional solid filters.This post was originally published on this site

Storms, hail, rising floodwaters—extreme weather events have caused billions of euros in damage in recent years. In the ResCentric project, researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI have developed a simulation software […]

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for self-assembling electronic devices. The proof-of-concept work was used to create diodes and transistors, and paves the way for self-assembling more complex electronic devices without relying on existing computer […]

A new 3D design for electrodes enables the Battolyser, a battery and electrolyzer in one, to store twice the amount of electricity it could previously hold and do so four times faster. Researchers from Delft […]

Perovskites are materials with advantageous optoelectronic properties that could be used to develop more affordable photovoltaics (PVs). While in recent years engineers were able to significantly improve the power-conversion efficiencies of perovskite solar cells, these […]

The manipulation of mechanical strain in materials, also known as strain engineering, has allowed engineers to advance electronics over the past decades, for instance enhancing the mobility of charge carriers in devices. Over the past […]

A research team from multiple institutions in China has proposed a novel concept of a thermal dome that could significantly advance the field of thermal invisibility technology. The study, published in Engineering, offers a potential […]
