“A concept in development at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory would allow potential planetary missions to chase interesting clues in subsurface oceans. Someday, a swarm of cellphone-size robots could whisk through the water beneath the miles-thick icy shell of Jupiter …
“How iridescent animals are leading the way to smart sensors. 3D printing has become mainstream. For a few hundred euros you can buy a 3D printer online. But what about 4D printing? How do you print an object that can …
“Researchers at KIT develop perovskite/CIS tandem solar cells with an efficiency of nearly 25 percent; combination of materials enables mobile applications. Stacking solar cells increases their efficiency. Working with partners in the EU-funded PERCISTAND project, researchers at the …
“Some things are easy as A, B, C. But when it comes to autonomous vehicles, the key may be in one, two, three. Faction, a Bay Area-based startup and NVIDIA Inception member, is preparing to debut its business-to-business autonomous delivery …
“The FingerTip FTG2-SLP touchscreen controller from STMicroelectronics enables advanced features to support the latest active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays that promise more power saving and extended runtime in smartphones. Low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) AMOLED displays, and similar proprietary …
“Researchers control and modulate acoustic waves on chip for the first time. Acoustic waves are slower than electromagnetic waves of the same frequency but, even in the high-speed world of computing and communications, that’s not a bad thing. Short …
“When looking at the future of production of micro-scale organic electronics, Mohammad Reza Abidian – Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Cullen College of Engineering – sees their potential for use in flexible electronics and bioelectronics, via multiphoton 3-D printers. The …
“Thin-film lithium niobate edge coupler enables on-chip second harmonic generation. Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) has recently emerged as a versatile nanophotonic platform. With the advantages of high optical confinement, enhanced light–matter interaction, and flexible dispersion control, TFLN-based periodically …
“Researchers have called for a more sustainable approach to the UK’s National Space Strategy in a new publication from The University of Manchester, On Space. Based on leading research and expertise on innovative and emerging technologies, experts are calling …
“Scientists are developing artificial photosynthesis to help make food production more energy-efficient here on Earth, and one day possibly on Mars Photosynthesis has evolved in plants for millions of years to turn water, carbon dioxide, and the energy from sunlight …
