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
Lhyfe – a green hydrogen producer – recently launched Sealhyfe, a pilot project featuring the world’s first offshore green hydrogen production facility. According to Lhyfe, the production of hydrogen using offshore wind turbines could eventually Read More
Underwater communications between divers relies on hand signals for communicating safety and directional information. These hand signals range from simple ideas, to up to over 200 signals used by professional divers to communicate more detailed Read More
Researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel have been addressing the challenges presented by transdermal drug delivery (TDD). In order to penetrate the skin, the particles being administered must be no larger than 100 nanometers, they Read More
Researchers at Empa recently published a proof-of-concept study for a water-activated, disposable, paper battery. The new battery could be used to power a broad range of low-power, single-use disposable electronics, such as smart tracking labels, Read More
Researchers at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a wind harvester – a low-cost device that can harness energy from the lightest of breezes and store it as electricity. The wind Read More
Penn State researchers have identified a significant security concern regarding eavesdropping. By using an off-the-shelf automotive radar sensor and a unique processing approach, they were able to detect the vibrations of a cell phone’s earpiece Read More
