Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have created a synthetic textile modeled on polar bear fur. The team has founded a spin-off company, Soliyarn, LLC, and has begun production of the cloth. Researchers have Read More
Researchers at the Institute for Future Materials and Systems and the Department of Materials Chemistry at Nagoya University have synthesized the thinnest-ever barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanosheets – with a thickness of 1.8 nm. As thickness Read More
DARPA recently released a broad agency announcement for the Tellus project, a 2.5-year, single-phase program which seeks to develop microbe-based sensors to monitor for existing and emerging threats, pollutants, or other changing environmental conditions. Currently, Read More
The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago has developed a stretchable light-emitting material that will enable the creation of truly flexible display screens. The new material can stretch more than Read More
Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) has designed a system that enables a quadruped robot to nimbly walk a narrow balance beam. “This experiment was huge,” said Zachary Manchester, head of the Robotic Exploration Lab. Read More
A research team led by Andrew Reid from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland is experimenting with 3D printing to create microphones inspired by insect ears. Such microphones could better pinpoint a sound’s direction Read More
Roboticists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) have designed a jellyfish-inspired robot which can collect waste from the bottom of the ocean. Unlike the underwater robot prototypes currently being tested, these Jellyfish-Bots Read More
A team at MIT has discovered that introducing new materials into existing concrete manufacturing processes could significantly reduce concrete’s carbon footprint – whose production is currently estimated to be responsible for 8% of global carbon Read More
A team led by Stephanie Lacour at the EPFL Neuro X Institute in Switzerland has developed a minimally invasive, soft robotic-inspired cortical electrode array that can be inserted through a small hole in the skull. Read More
Researchers from the Chalmers Institute of Technology (CTH) and the University of Freiburg have proposed a new technique using electricity to help chronic wounds heal faster. The team based their study on the hypothesis that Read More
