A new battery recycling method developed by Illinois Grainger engineers removes scarce, expensive metals from old battery cathodes and coats them onto new cathodes in a single step. The result is significantly more affordable, less […]

Time and again, unexploded aerial bombs from the Second World War need to be defused or detonated in controlled explosions. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI are working together with partners […]

New research led by the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (GZ) and Queen Mary University of London, could redefine how we interact with everyday tools and devices—thanks […]

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical functions that closely mirror those of biological ones. Building on their previous work using protein […]

Researchers have developed the first binder-free method for 3D printing glass, using light to trigger a chemical reaction that directly forms silica structures without the need for organic additives or extreme heat. This breakthrough makes […]

Photocurable 3D printing, widely used for everything from dental treatments to complex prototype manufacturing, is fast and precise but has the limitation of being fragile and easily broken by impact. A KAIST research team has […]

Fidget poppers are an example of “bistability,” as the popped circles rest in one of two stable states. Purdue University researchers have taken this idea to its extreme, building robots that can be preprogrammed and […]

A research team led by Professor Cheol Song at the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), has successfully developed an optical interferometer-based sensor system that can simultaneously […]

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 […]
