“Physicists find evidence for the mechanism by which metals may exhibit ‘ferroelectricity’ One of the most fundamental rules physics students learn in college is that metals cannot possess an internal electric field. This makes metals, in a sense, opposite to …
“UB engineers develop a dynamic gripper that mimics the adjustable grip of a human hand, an advancement that could improve industrial safety Human hands are remarkably skilled at manipulating a range of objects. We can pick up an egg or …
“EPFL scientists have successfully tested new neuroprosthetic technology that combines robotic control with users’ voluntary control, opening avenues in the new interdisciplinary field of shared control for neuroprosthetic technologies. EPFL scientists are developing new approaches for improved control of robotic …
“Physicists from the University of Groningen constructed a two-dimensional spin transistor, in which spin currents were generated by an electric current through graphene. A monolayer of a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) was placed on top of a graphene to induce …
“Hey Arduiners, Today we are releasing IDE 1.8.10 and you should try it because it’s awesome! With the support of our incredible community, we’ve been improving a lot of (small and not so small) things. Besides …
“Mechanical engineering professors’ discoveries about ‘wetting’ could reduce production costs, increase product quality The results of a new study led by two Binghamton University professors could reduce the production costs and increase product quality for large-sized lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries …
“A cheap, thermoelectric device that harnesses the cold of space to generate electricity has been reported by international researchers who used the device to power a LED. The researchers developed the device by taking advantage of radiative cooling, where a …
