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
Researchers at Kumamoto University have unveiled a solid electrolyte material that could revolutionize fuel cell technology. Derived from natural clay minerals, this innovative membrane offers high proton conductivity and exceptional hydrogen gas barrier properties—unlocking new […]
Global electricity use is increasing rapidly and must be addressed sustainably. Developing new materials could give us much more efficient solar cell materials than at present; materials so thin and flexible that they could encase […]
An EPFL Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering has developed a device that significantly dampens the flow-induced vibration caused by rotating parts, such as those in boat propellers, turbines and hydraulic pumps. His device can be […]
In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight. While this bio-inspired robot performed well at […]
Global warming poses a growing threat to human health and work performance. Currently, about 3.6 billion people worldwide live in areas highly susceptible to climate change. From 2000 to 2019, more than 480,000 heat-related deaths […]
