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
A team led by Mario Caironi, coordinator of the Printed and Molecular Electronics Laboratory at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, has developed the world’s first rechargeable edible battery, which has great potential for use in Read More
Researchers at Cardiff University’s School of Mathematics have developed an early warning system that can quickly classify submarine earthquakes and determine the risk of resulting tsunami events. The team uses state-of-the-art acoustic technology working with Read More
A multidisciplinary team led by researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have been working on a new fabrication technique for fully foldable robots that can perform a variety of complex tasks without relying Read More
Researchers at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an insoluble cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) hydrogel with high sensitivity to calcium ions. This could be an important breakthrough Read More
Researchers at Cambridge University have developed a super-sized nanocage capable of delivering large drug cargoes, with potential applications in drug delivery, biotechnology, and drug discovery. Nanocages are miniscule artificial containers that can be used to Read More
The University of Pittsburgh has a new concept for the development of smart civil infrastructure systems with the introduction of metamaterial concrete. The metamaterial concrete would be lightweight and mechanically-tunable, with integrated energy harvesting and Read More
A team from Friedrich Schiller University Jena in Germany are working with partners from Spain to test brewer’s spent grain as a bio-source for the production of materials for electrochemical energy storage systems. They were Read More
