Korean researchers and an SME have successfully commercialized a light sourceΒ capable of transmitting 25 billion bits per second over long distances for the first time in...
Numerous high-functioning thermoelectric substances were found during the previous twenty years, but their potential has remained unrealized due to the absence of efficie...
A researcher at Missouri University of Science and Technology is looking to solve the problems of tomorrow by using chemistry from the distant past. Dr. Monday Uchenna Ok...
Superconductors can conduct electricity without any resistance or power loss, and they can effortlessly cause magnets to levitate above them. These properties would make...
OffWorld Europe and the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA) have recently signed a pivotal agreement to launch a comprehensive, multi-year development program for an In-Situ Re...
In traditional manufacturing, components are created out of larger blocks of source material (such as steel) and the unused excess materials or the machining scraps are t...
Materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have a rigid, cage-like structure that lends itself to a variety of applications, from gas storage to drug delivery. By...
Concrete is the most used material in the construction industry and dates to the Roman Empire. Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are now reimagining its design fo...
Integrating sensors into rotational mechanisms could make it possible for engineers to build smart hinges that know when a door has been opened, or gears inside a motor t...
Slips, trips and falls (STFs) remain the top causes of major injuries in the workplace. According to the International Labour Organization, more than a million workers gl...
Until now, you can have a metal or a plastic, but not both in one. However, things donβt have to stay that way. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a Chinese research team...
Pushing a shovel through snow, planting an umbrella on the beach, wading through a ball pit, and driving over gravel all have one thing in common: They all are exercises...
Argonne National Laboratory scientists have found a new way to make materials for batteries, magnets and microelectronics. The worldβs best artists can take a handful of...
Designing a battery is a three-part process. You need a positive electrode, you need a negative electrode, and β importantly β you need an electrolyte that works with bot...
The nature and properties of materials depend strongly on dimension. Imagine how different life in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional world would be from the three dime...
