News Researchers at Mainz University synthesize new liquid crystals that will allow the directed transmission of electricity
“Organic power cable for electronic components Liquid and solid – most people are unaware that there can be states in between. Liquid crystals are representative of one such state. While the molecules in liquids swim around at random, neighboring molecules in …
“A team led by Carnegie’s Scott S. Sheppard has found 20 new moons orbiting Saturn. This brings the ringed planet’s total number of moons to 82, surpassing Jupiter, which has 79. The discovery was announced Monday by the …
“Studying a common material at room temperature, researchers bring quantum behavior “closer to our daily life.” When a guitar string is plucked, it vibrates as any vibrating object would, rising and falling like a wave, as the laws of classical …
“New method from MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore paves the way for improved optoelectronic and 5G devices. The Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, has announced the successful development of a …
“U of T Engineering researchers have created a miniature robot that can crawl with inchworm-like motion. The underlying technology could one day transform industries from aviation to smart wearables. Professor Hani Naguib (MIE, MSE) and his group specialize in smart …
“Last year, the world reached a major modern milestone – as of 2018, half of the world’s population is online with some form of internet connection. The bad news is that, despite this progress, this status quo still puts billions …
