New Development In Clean Hydrogen Production
A global team led by David Lee Phillips and Zheng-Xiao Guo at the University of Hong Kong has created a novel nanomaterial that can extract hydrogen from fresh or salt water using solar energy. As Read More
Yeast Aides In Detecting Covid-19
Dr. Matt Trau’s team at The University of Queensland (UQ) in Australia are making powdery ‘nanoprobes’ from baker’s yeast that can detect COVID-19. The new dust sensors are designed to be used in high-risk environments Read More
New Clothing Harnesses Energy Through Body Movement
An international team of researchers from Sichuan University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a wearable textile that can convert body movements into usable electricity and also store that energy. Read More
Tokyo Metropolitan University Focuses On TMC Nanostructures
Scientists from the Tokyo Metropolitan University (TMU) – led by Assistant Professor Yusuke Nakanishi and Associate Professor Yasumitsu Miyata – have made a significant breakthrough in synthesis techniques for TMC nanostructures. Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) Read More
Sensors Get Environmentally Friendly With Seaweed
Researchers from the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton in England have developed health sensors incorporating natural elements – such as rock salt, water, and seaweed – combined with graphene. As they are Read More
Request For Information – Class 3 Protective Ensemble
Due: June 12, 2023 JPM CBRN Protection is requesting information on commercially-available or developmental fabric composites for chemical/biological (CB) defense. Responding to this opportunity requires membership in the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Consortium (CWMD). This Consortium releases Read More
Edible Drones? Yes.
Drones are often used for unmanned transport tasks, such as delivering food and medical supplies to people in emergency situations. Currently, commercial drones can typically only carry 10% to 30% of their own mass as Read More
MIT Creates A High Sensory Robotic Hand
A team at MIT has created a robotic hand with high-tough resolution sensing that can accurately identify an object after just one grasp. The device – called the GelSight EndoFlex – features robotic fingers with Read More
