Professor Nicky Eshtiaghi and her team at RMIT University in Australia have developed a way to rapidly remove hazardous microplastics from water using magnets. Methods currently in use for removing toxins from water are expensive Read More
The Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) of the University of Bristol in England has led a team in developing a strong battery separator using nanomaterials made from seaweed. “This work really demonstrates that greener forms of Read More
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have created a lightweight, ultra-shock-absorbing foam that could be used to greatly improve protective headgear. The new material is an architected, vertically aligned carbon nanotube foam which has unique Read More
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have made a significant breakthrough in electric vehicle battery design that enables a 10-minute charge time for a typical EV battery. “The need for smaller, faster-charging batteries is greater than Read More
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have created a new plastic-like material which can change its elasticity with the application of a catalyst. It’s hoped that the new material will eventually be used Read More
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and VSLGlobal navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have created a robust and highly accurate positioning system called SuperGPS. Current positioning systems in use – such as Read More
Micro-roboticists are working towards a new way of delivering cancer-killing compounds – called enterotoxins – to tumors using bionic bacteria that are steered by a magnetic field. These engineered microbes will function as “micro-robots” that Read More
North Carolina State University (NC State) has developed an energy-efficient soft robot that can swim more than four times faster than previous swimming soft robots. The bio-inspired robots – called “butterfly bots” – were inspired Read More
Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin have successfully demonstrated a wheelchair that can be controlled by the users’ mind. The research team recruited three tetraplegic people for the study. Each participant underwent training Read More
Photosynthesis creates carbohydrates, which many organisms require for fuel, but they are not sufficiently energy-dense to power engines. Recently published research from the University of Chicago describes an innovative new system for artificial photosynthesis that Read More
