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
A group of scientists and engineers from The University of Texas at Austin, the University of California Riverside, the University of Colorado Boulder, and the University of Utah has created a new class of materials Read More
A joint research project has created a novel mechanochemistry method for the large-scale production of chemicals. The team included researchers with the Nanoscience Initiative at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center Read More
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
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
Researchers from MIT and Rice University have discovered new computer vision technology that utilizes reflections to image the world. Their method uses reflections to turn glossy objects into “cameras,” enabling a user to see the Read More
