News Rocket man blasts into the history books at a world record-breaking 32mph - the fastest ever travelled by a jet suit
“Mr Browning, 38, took to the air at Lagoona Park in Reading, Berkshire, on Tuesday to try to beat the 30mph benchmark set by Guinness World Records. Looking like something out of a science fiction movie, he slowly rose into …
“Physicists at Aalto University have made a breakthrough in revising methods largely discarded 15 years ago. They have discovered a microscopic mechanism that will allow gallium nitride semiconductors to be used in electronic devices that distribute large amounts of electric …
“An international team of scientists has discovered a new route to ultra-low-power transistors using a graphene-based composite material. As transistors are squeezed into ever smaller areas within computer chips, the semiconductor industry struggles to contain overheating in devices. Now researchers …
“A team of scientist at MPQ and Caltech proposes the realization of two-dimensional topological insulators by classical optical networks. In the past decade, a new type of material has attracted raising attraction: the so-called topological insulator. This class of materials …
“A team of researchers led by Dartmouth College may have finally solved the problem of how to inexpensively improve wireless signal strength for indoor spaces with multiple rooms. The same technology for enhancing office and home Wi-Fi signals can also …
“Nanomaterials have been widely studied and proven to have unique properties that make them more suited to a variety of applications. However, there is still a need to better understand their structure and property evolutions from nanoscale to macroscale as …
“In a major advance in astronomy, scientists announced last month that they had observed two neutron stars colliding, a never-before-seen cosmic event that made headlines the world over — and two UC Merced computer scientists were instrumental in making it happen …
“Researchers have successfully incorporated washable, stretchable and breathable electronic circuits into fabric, opening up new possibilities for smart textiles and wearable electronics. The circuits were made with cheap, safe and environmentally friendly inks, and printed using conventional inkjet printing techniques …
“Researchers at the Faculty of Science and Technology have developed a high precision robot that transfers physical sensations back to the user. Called the General Purpose Arm, it was developed in collaboration with the Haptics Research Center. The technology was …
“A KAIST team reported ultra-flexible organic flash memory that is bendable down to a radius of 300 μm. The memory exhibits a significantly-long projected retention rate with a programming voltage on par with the present industrial standards. A joint research …
