Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) and Honeywell Aerospace have developed a new way to reduce the transfer of radiant heat between closely spaced bodies by using […]

Feeling too warm or too cold indoors may depend on more than the thermostat. The spectrum of indoor lighting plays a role in how people perceive temperature, according to research led by scientists at Penn […]

An electronic skin with a sensing system that can detect pressure and temperature could someday help amputees gain feeling in their prosthetics. The work, led by Washington State University researchers and published in the journal […]

Researchers at the University of Utah’s John and Marcia Price College of Engineering, in collaboration with researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, have demonstrated a new method of 3D printing that avoids the […]

Anyone who’s ever wrestled with a claw machine at an arcade can appreciate the difficulty of pulling and pushing joysticks in just the right way to get a mechanical arm to scoop up that one […]

University of South Florida engineers have developed an innovative laser-based technology that is helping nuclear power plants solve a complex maintenance challenge affecting a critical reactor safety system. After four years of research, design, and […]

Small wearable fans that cool the face and neck can keep people almost as comfortable as conventional desk fans, according to a new study from Concordia researchers. Aside from taking up less space, these lightweight […]

Unlike Wi-Fi or cellular signals, millimeter-wave wireless communication channels are unable to pass through walls, furniture or other objects. This reality is part of what is holding back the implementation of millimeter-wave wireless, which is […]

Concrete has served as the foundation of empires for thousands of years. Today, it’s one of the most common materials in the world. But one look at the ancient Roman concrete structures still standing suggests […]

Researchers from Skoltech (part of the VEB.RF group) and Central University have developed an automated coin-grading approach that minimizes the subjectivity of manual assessments and overcomes the limitations of computer vision algorithms typically used for […]
