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
Rice University researchers have developed a technique that can quickly regenerate the graphite anode materials found in lithium-ion batteries so that they can be reused multiple times. “The production of lithium-ion batteries in 2026 is Read More
Due: March 8, 2023 When you eat, your perceptions of that food are determined by a complex interplay between sense receptors and the multitudes of compounds in the food itself. In particular, aroma-active volatiles in Read More
A group of researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University, and other collaborating institutions have developed hybrid bioelectronic robots, which they state are the first to combine soft materials, living muscle, and microelectronics. Read More
Researchers from the Australian Research Council Center of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) have developed a tiny nitrogen dioxide sensor that could help protect the environment from vehicle pollutants that cause health problems and Read More
UCLA has collaborated with a group of researchers from around the world to develop a method of incorporating perovskite into solar cells while also protecting it from the conditions that cause it to deteriorate. The Read More
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) has developed a method that allows a flapping-wing robot to land autonomously on a horizontal perch using a claw-like mechanism. Until now, flapping-wing vehicles – called ornithopters Read More
Conceptualize and describe a novel approach to cryogenic (less than -150°C) containment that will allow lunar sample transport from the Moon to Earth. Client: NASA
Tell us how YOU would recycle objects in orbit! We explore whether a new industry could transform orbital debris into an orbital opportunity by creating feedstocks from recycled spacecraft. Client: NASA
