Could the future of rescue missions and exploration lie in the hands—or rather, the flexible movements—of a swarm of lightweight, soft, and intelligent robots? Imagine swarms of soft-bodied robots working with the coordinated efficiency of […]
By combining microwave technology with chemical treatment, Felicia Syrén has explored how renewable materials such as jute and paper yarn can be given new properties—and thus new applications within the textile industry.This post was originally […]
Additive manufacturing of alloys has enabled the creation of machine parts that meet the complex requirements needed to optimize performance in aerospace, automotive, and energy applications. Finding the ideal mix of elements to use in […]
The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), under the National Research Council of Science and Technology (NST), has successfully developed and demonstrated Korea’s first 20kW-class anode-supported solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) system.This post was […]
A team of University of Adelaide researchers are exploring ways to create a safer and more sustainable battery for electric mobility and power grids. While lithium-ion batteries are currently the favored option by industry, the […]
Imagine tiny robots zipping across the surface of a lake to check water quality or searching for people in flooded areas. This technology is moving closer to reality thanks to work by researchers at the […]
A traditional digital camera splits an image into three channels—red, green and blue—mirroring how the human eye perceives color. But those are just three discrete points along a continuous spectrum of wavelengths. Specialized “spectral” cameras […]
Humans spend about 80% of their time indoors, but keeping track of the air we breathe usually requires expensive lab-grade equipment. Researchers at Concordia and Qatar University have created a low-cost sensor system that does […]
People are increasingly turning to software to design complex material structures like airplane wings and medical implants. But as design models become more capable, our fabrication techniques haven’t kept up. Even 3D printers struggle to […]
Australian shark experts have tested four bite-resistant materials to assess their ability to reduce injuries and blood loss.This post was originally published on this site
