TechnologySensing the Future – New Wearable Technology replicates Tactile Reality Most haptic devices only deliver feedback as simple vibrations. New device applies dynamic forces in any direction to simulate a more realistic sense of touch.…
ChemistryA Surprising new approach to generate Ammonia that requires no Fossil Fuels Australian scientists have discovered a method to produce ammonia—an essential component in fertilizers—using only air and electricity. By mimicking lightning and channeling that energy through…
PhysicsHelium-3’s Charge Radius is determined with amazing precision A research team led by Professor Randolf Pohl from the Institute of Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has achieved a significant breakthrough in…
PhysicsResearchers Record the Formation of Ultrafast Laser Pulses in real time Scientists have captured the moment a laser “comes to life”—and what they found challenges long-held beliefs. Using a special technique to film laser light in…
BiologyA Synthetic Protein that Mimics Natural Movement Proteins catalyze life by changing shape when they interact with other molecules. The result is a muscle twitching, the perception of light, or a bit…
EngineeringFuture Aircraft’s Cryogenic Hydrogen Supply and Storage System Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have designed a liquid hydrogen storage and delivery system that could help make zero-emission aviation a reality. Their…
BiologyProtein from Insects inhibits Bacterial Infection Scientists in Australia have developed a smart, bacteria-repelling coating based on resilin the ultra-elastic protein that gives fleas their legendary jumping power. When applied to…
TechnologyEngineers create Self-healing Muscles for Robots A University of Nebraska-Lincoln engineering team is another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant…
TechnologyIndustrial Laser Procedures are simplified by Machine Learning Laser-based processes for metals are considered to be particularly versatile in industry. Lasers can be used, for example, to precision-weld components together or produce more…
EngineeringForecasting Landslides beneath the Surface before they Occur Below ocean wind farms, oil rigs and other offshore installations are mammoth networks of underwater structures, including pipelines, anchors, risers and cables, that are essential…
MedicalMRI Scans may be able to identify potentially Fatal Heart Conditions Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the heart could help to detect a life-threatening heart disease and enable clinicians to better predict which patients are…
EngineeringAt Ultrafast Speeds, a New Laser that is tiny than a cent can Measure Objects Researchers from the University of Rochester and University of California, Santa Barbara, engineered a laser device smaller than a penny that they say could power…
