“In a paper in Science Robotics, materials scientists from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering describe a new design for a swimming robot that’s both powered and steered by constant light. The device, called OsciBot because it moves by …
“The growing popularity of lithium-ion batteries in recent years has put a strain on the world’s supply of cobalt and nickel – two metals integral to current battery designs – and sent prices surging. In a bid to develop alternative designs …
“Want to make a super strong material from nano-scale building blocks? Start with the highest quality building blocks, right? Wrong — at least when working with “flakes” of graphene oxide (GO). A new study from Northwestern University researchers shows that better …
“Mathematics researcher Drew Sutherland helps solve decades-old sum-of-three-cubes puzzle, with help from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” A team led by Andrew Sutherland of MIT and Andrew Booker of Bristol University has solved the final piece of a …
“Secret quantum alphabets could revolutionise how secure communication networks are built and utilised, according to a University of Queensland researcher. UQ PhD candidate and experimental physicist Michael Kewming created his own unique quantum alphabet using the shape of light’s …
“The University’s Stephenson Institute for Renewable Energy is part of a new research consortium that has been awarded £11.2 million by the Faraday Institution to explore and develop new materials for next-generation lithium batteries that can be used …
“With the help of a 3D printed salt template, ETH researchers have succeeded in producing magnesium scaffolds with structured porosity that are suitable for bioresorbable bone implants. For the treatment of complex bone fractures or even missing bone parts, surgeons …
“Researchers have, for the first time, identified the conditions for theories of quantum gravity to be compatible with one of the paramount predictions of quantum theory and relativity: The Unruh effect. In a new study led by researchers from the …
“IMDEA Nanociencia’s research led by Dr. Palmero jointly with the company RAMEM has resulted in successful development of thermally controlled 3D-printed proof-of-concept metallic/polymer components. This work constitutes an industrial collaboration with applicability in the aeronautic and aerospace sectors …
“The 2019 GT3 is classified as a “potentially hazardous asteroid”, which means it is being scrutinised in detail by the astronomic community, just weeks after the near miss of another flyby – that of a “city-killer” object with the way too …
