Dr. Ivan Smalyukh of the University of Colorado, Boulder and his team have created a see-through, insulating aerogel film made from wood. The film could be made inexpensively on large scale, is more transparent than Read More
An international team of researchers, led by Pennsylvania State University, has taken a large step towards the creation of artificial muscles by developing a new ferroelectric polymer that efficiently converts electrical energy into mechanical strain. Read More
A team from Rice University’s George R. Brown School of Engineering has developed a readily scalable, new priming method that improves battery life by up to 44%. The method optimizes prelithiation, which introduces extra active Read More
Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Science have discovered a potential method of scrubbing carbon dioxide from industrial emissions using metal organic frameworks (MOFs). These inexpensive nanomaterials could become an important factor in Read More
A team from Brown University’s School of Engineering have built Pleobot – a krill-inspired robot with the potential of serving as a foundation for building small, highly maneuverable underwater robots. Krill are small crustaceans found Read More
The University of Bristol’s Department of Engineering Mathematics is working with simple sponges to enhance the way robots grasp objects. The use of an easy-to-make sponge-jamming device can assist stiff robots handle delicate items carefully Read More
A research team from Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan has developed an environmentally friendly and inexpensive adsorbent material that can selectively recover precious metals and rare earth elements (REEs) from hot springs and seawater. The Read More
As part of the goal to create biodegradable marine robots, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are 3D printing biodegradable actuators. The actuators are created using a bio-ink made of materials sourced from common brown seaweeds. Read More
Researchers from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) and the Jewish General Hospital have designed a portable, low-cost detection platform which uses nanotechnology and artificial intelligence to rapidly diagnose infectious diseases. Read More
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a highly electrically conductive metallic gel that can be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. “3D printing has revolutionized manufacturing, but we’re not Read More
