The National Science Agency of Australia (CSIRO) has made a technological breakthrough in the use of concentrated solar thermal technology (CST). CST uses large mirrors or lenses to focus sunlight onto a narrow region known as Read More
A team of engineers from The University of Manchester has designed and flown the world’s largest drone – the Giant Foam board Quadcopter (GFQ). GFQ has a wingspan of 21 ft (6.4m) and weighs just Read More
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) – working with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the University of Colorado Boulder – has built a superconducting camera containing 400,000 pixels – 400 times more Read More
A team from Pennsylvania State University has developed a new type of glass – called LionGlass – which could be manufactured with 50% less carbon output than current methods. Along with reduced emissions, Lionglass has Read More
Researchers from Flinders University in South Australia and Zhejiang Sci-Tech University in China have developed the world’s first aqueous aluminum radical battery. The new battery uses water-based electrolytes instead of hazardous materials, making it safe, Read More
Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) are developing a humanoid robot pilot that can fly an aircraft without modifying the cockpit. The robot – called “Pibot” (PIlot+roBOT) – is a Read More
Researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed three new methods that enable methane to be used in green energy production and to create high-performance materials that could be used for smart devices, biotechnology, Read More
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
