A team of researchers from Texas A&M University, Sandia National Lab—Livermore, and Stanford University are taking lessons from the brain to design materials for more efficient computing. The new class of materials discovered is the […]

Keeping today’s electronics cool isn’t as easy as running a fan installed at the rear of a desktop computer. Using anything from a smartphone to an electric vehicle results in some manner of heat production […]

Research at Michigan State University is focused on teaching robots to use colors to perceive, visualize, and interpret interactions when manipulating objects. A force-interpreting optical system is being developed so robots can distinguish and manipulate […]

Imagine a set of flexible tactile sensors that adheres to the surface of your skin, offering customizable detection of biomechanical signals from various body parts. That fiction-like supermaterial is close to becoming reality thanks to […]

A research team led by Prof. Ye Hong from the University of Science and Technology of China has developed an alumina ceramic bionic wick with finger-like pores inspired by the stomatal array of natural leaves. […]

Proper power grounding systems are necessary for maintaining the safety and reliability of critical electrical subsystem infrastructure, such as substations. Power grounding systems provide a low-resistance path for electrical fault currents to flow into the […]

For hydrogen technology to become a key to the energy transition, it needs to take a decisive step forward toward broad application. The main factors holding back this longed-for breakthrough, however, are the high costs […]

Pipeline installations are often plagued by challenges such as design deviations and unexpected clashes during assembly, leading to costly corrections and project delays. Conventional quality control measures are usually implemented after fabrication, missing the opportunity […]

A study published in Engineering has shed light on the pivotal role of urban underground space (UUS) development in achieving carbon neutrality, with significant implications for sustainable urban development in China and beyond.This post was […]

One of the drawbacks of fitness trackers and other wearable devices is that their batteries eventually run out of juice. But what if in the future, wearable technology could use body heat to power itself?This […]
