News UCLA-developed terahertz sensors work at room temperature, unlike current technology that needs extreme cold
“Light-sensing system could show distant galaxies in unprecedented detail Researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have developed an ultra-sensitive light-detecting system that could enable astronomers to view galaxies, stars and planetary systems in superb detail. The system works …
“For some phenomena in quantum many-body physics several competing theories exist. But which of them describes a quantum phenomenon best? A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Harvard University in the United States has now …
“A new 3D-printed prosthetic hand can learn the wearers’ movement patterns to help amputee patients perform daily tasks, reports a study published this week in Science Robotics. Losing a limb, either through illness or accident, can present emotional and physical …
“Researchers develop a new microscopy system for creating maps of cells, using chemical reactions to encode spatial information. The following press release was issued today by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. A team of researchers at the McGovern …
“Self-assembling materials can form patterns that might be useful in optical devices. Self-assembling materials called block copolymers, which are known to form a variety of predictable, regular patterns, can now be made into much more complex patterns that may open …
“It’s estimated that as much as two-thirds of energy consumed in the U.S. each year is wasted as heat. Take for example, car engines, laptop computers, cellphones, even refrigerators, that heat up with overuse. Imagine if you could …
“Stress makes cells age faster. Something that geneticists have long since demonstrated for the human body is also true for electric-vehicle battery cells. The older the batteries get, the lower their performance and capacity, and the shorter the range of …
“Cardiff University researchers have developed world-leading Compound Semiconductor (CS) technology that can drive future high-speed data communications. A team from the Institute for Compound Semiconductors (ICS) worked with collaborators to innovate an ultrafast and highly sensitive ‘avalanche photodiode’ (APD) that …
News Development of 3D Electrochemical Model to Improve Battery Energy Density and Efficiency of Electric Vehicles
“A model that can have a 3D observation of micrometer-sized particles in a cell has been developed. Through the analysis and research of micrometer-sized particles in a cell, this model is expected to enhance energy efficiency of cells. DGIST announced …
“In work that upends materials design, researchers have demonstrated with computer simulations that they can design a crystal and work backward to the particle shape that will self-assemble to create it. It could lead to a new class of materials …
