In a study published in the journal Corrosion Science, researchers explored protective coatings to advance corrosion resistance in fusion reactors. They tested α-Al2O3 oxide layers on oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloys in a high-temperature, flowing lithium-lead […]

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, in collaboration with HOLOEYE Photonics AG, have developed a compact LCOS microdisplay with high refresh rates that enables improved optical modulation. This innovative microdisplay will be […]

Filter feeders are everywhere in the animal world, from tiny crustaceans and certain types of coral and krill, to various mollusks, barnacles, and even massive basking sharks and baleen whales. Now, MIT engineers have found […]

Caltech researchers from campus and JPL have collaborated to devise a method for coating lithium-ion battery cathodes with graphene, extending the life and performance of these widely used rechargeable batteries.This post was originally published on […]

A pair of engineers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has designed, built and tested a feathered, hawk-inspired drone capable of carrying out banking maneuvers without using its wings.This post was originally published on […]

A team of roboticists and engineers affiliated with several institutions in South Korea, working with the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, has developed a tiny soft robot that is capable of manipulating multiple types […]

The sight was a common one for Andrew Kolpacki. For many a Sunday, he would watch NFL games on TV and see quarterbacks putting their hands on their helmets, desperately trying to hear the play […]

Solar and wind are quickly transforming the energy landscape—but if we are to realize the full potential of these intermittent, renewable energy sources, we’ll need safe, affordable batteries capable of storing it.This post was originally […]
