“The amount of energy used for computing is climbing at an exponential rate. Business intelligence and consulting firm ENERDATA reports that information, communication and technology accounts for 5% to 9% of total electricity consumption worldwide. If growth continues unabated, computing …
“New approach creates metamaterials that are light, thin and flexible Researchers have developed an automatic drawing machine that uses pens and pencils to draw metamaterials onto paper. They demonstrated the new approach by using it to make three metamaterials that …
“With a high energy density, Li-O2 batteries have become a state-of-the-art battery technology. Inside the Li-O2 battery, the generation and disintegration of the discharged product solid lithium peroxide (Li2O2) have a significant effect on the battery’s performance. Previous researches …
“New technique could enable processing speeds a million to a billion times faster than today’s computers and spur progress in many-body physics The key to maximizing traditional or quantum computing speeds lies in our ability to understand how electrons …
“After years of careful development, engineers have created a boot-like exoskeleton that increases walking speed and reduces effort outside of the lab. For years, the Stanford Biomechatronics Laboratory has captured imaginations with their exoskeleton emulators – lab-based robotic devices that help …
“A new image shows at least 17 dust rings created by a rare type of star and its companion locked in a celestial dance. A new image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals a remarkable cosmic sight: at …
“Simple microparticles can beat rhythmically together, generating an oscillating electrical current that could be used to power microrobotic devices. Taking advantage of a phenomenon known as emergent behavior in the microscale, MIT engineers have designed simple microparticles that can collectively …
“Imagine being able to morph your legs into flippers before you jump in the water. Yale researchers have created a robot that accomplishes this feat through a process they dubbed “adaptive morphogenesis.” The project is described in the Oct. 12 …
“The work by Distinguished Professor Bartosz A. Grzybowski was published online and will be included in the October 2022 issue of Nature Physics. Historically, contact electrification (CE) was humanity’s first and only source of electricity up until ca. 18th …
“Devin Carroll, a doctoral candidate in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, is designing a modular robot called StickBot, which may be adapted for rehabilitation use in global public health settings. In late summer, just as the leaves were …
