A team at The University of Tokyo recently introduced SPIDAR – a SPherIcally vectorable and Distributed rotors assisted Air-ground amphibious quadruped Robot. SPIDAR is a novel air-ground amphibious quadruped robot that has multimodal locomotion capability Read More
Researchers at Rice University have developed an engineered wood that is stronger than its natural counterparts and can sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surrounding air. To accomplish this, the team delignified – disintegrated the Read More
Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a biodegradable polyester with properties comparable to those of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE’s thermoplastic properties arise from the internal structure of its molecular, hydrocarbon chains, which are Read More
Due: March 24, 2023 Smart surfaces react to external forces such as light, heat or pressure. These surfaces can, for example, change texture, color or shape depending on the intensity, duration and location of the Read More
Due: March 24, 2023 The need to commercialize technologies which deliver long-term energy storage (in excess of 10 hours) is stronger than ever. Governments and corporations are interested in the next generation of technologies capable Read More
Due: March 24, 2023 Whether for utilization of equipment or for patient care efforts, the usage of medical gases such as carbon dioxide, helium, oxygen, or nitrogen, is vital in medical and dental settings. To Read More
Due: March 24, 2023 Much like additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has revolutionized industrial fabrication, 3D bioprinting has a similar potential in the medical field. Bioprinting allows for the restoration of damaged tissues and organs, Read More
Due: March 24, 2023 The refinement and distillation of crude oil into functional materials requires complex chemical processing and infrastructure. The equipment for chemical processing is increasingly shifting from metal to non-metal materials in the Read More
A team from the DOE’s Ames National Laboratory has developed a microscope that uses terahertz waves to collect data on material samples. This new characterization tool is also unique in that it shines the terahertz Read More
Researchers at Tufts University’s Silklab have created a new biopolymer sensor that detects bacteria, toxins, and dangerous chemicals in the environment. It can be printed like ink on almost any material, or embedded into films, Read More
