Anyone who has slipped on a polished floor or felt their tires spinning in the snow knows instinctively the importance of surfaces. Certainly those in manufacturing—be it of robots, running shoes, or semiconductors—understand that they […]
A Los Angeles-area startup is using artificial intelligence and robotics in an unlikely way: making sashimi and other fish dishes taste better, last longer and be more humane.This post was originally published on this site
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, materials that can conduct electricity and are only a few atoms thick, are promising alternatives to the conventional silicon-based semiconductors currently used to fabricate many electronics. Despite their promise, these materials have […]
Quantum computers can solve complex problems in seconds—problems that would take thousands of years for today’s most powerful traditional computers. This makes them especially promising for data-intensive applications such as those in drug development, machine […]
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers have overcome a barrier to using a more affordable, dry process for manufacturing the lithium-ion batteries used in vehicles and electronic devices. The resulting batteries provide greater electricity flow […]
Ancient Roman concrete, which was used to build aqueducts, bridges, and buildings across the empire, has endured for over two thousand years.This post was originally published on this site
Imagine a power plant fueled by heat generated deep beneath your feet, silently providing renewable energy day and night, independent of weather or sunlight. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) promise exactly this, tapping into Earth’s internal […]
As many New Zealanders contend with condensation, drafts, and mold this winter, a recent study challenges assumptions about what makes a home drier. It urges green building rating tools to clarify how humidity and dampness […]
It is possible to create little to no rubbish from building construction in regional towns, but the chain of responsibility starts at the top with those commissioning a project needing to consider waste reduction from […]
A new “cosmic veil” developed by engineers at the University of Surrey could help perovskite solar cells survive in space, opening a new gateway to lighter, cheaper and more efficient solar power for satellites and […]
