RoboChem – a self-operating chemical synthesis robot equipped with an AI-based machine-learning system – is the latest creation of a research team from the University of Amsterdam (UvA). RoboChem functions as a precise and reliable Read More
A new reversible glue created by a team at Newcastle University’s School of Engineering may change how we recycle. Currently, labels are usually removed from items to be recycled, adding cost and time to the Read More
Elastane – also called Spandex – is an elastic material that is popular for use in clothing, as it allows the fabric to stretch and adapt to the wearers’ body. But, when these fibers are Read More
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have created a graphene based, ultra-sensitive sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of lead ions in water. The device is capable of a record limit of Read More
A team at the Technion Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering has developed a new technology for producing green hydrogen using renewable energy. This breakthrough should reduce the costs of production and accelerate the use Read More
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a strain of bacteria that can turn polyethylene plastic into a “bio-inspired spider silk” with potential applications for use in textiles, cosmetics, and medicine. “Spider silk is nature’s Read More
Engineers at the University of Colorado of Boulder and Sandia National Laboratories have developed a new design for padding that can better withstand strong impacts than conventional materials. The new padding could be used wherever Read More
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology developed a functional semiconductor made from graphene. Their new semiconductor is compatible with conventional microelectronics processing methods, which was a requirement for any viable alternative to the use Read More
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new type of mechanical sensor that could eliminate the need for batteries to power sensors that require a constant supply of power. Their new sensor is powered by Read More
The Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Plastics, at the University of Oxford, has outlined targets to help deliver a sustainable and net zero plastic economy. The global plastics system results in over 1 Read More
