“Researchers at the University of Bristol have successfully demonstrated the high thermal conductivity of a new material, paving the way for safer and more efficient electronic devices – including mobile phones, radars and even electric cars. The team, led by Professor …
“Material may replace many metals as lightweight, flexible heat dissipators in cars, refrigerators, and electronics. Polymers are usually the go-to material for thermal insulation. Think of a silicone oven mitt, or a Styrofoam coffee cup, both manufactured from polymer materials …
“Update to Federal Information Processing Standard aims to help companies get products to market faster. Electronic device manufacturers should find it less time-consuming to bring their wares to both the U.S. and international markets as a result of new …
“In celebration of National Welding Month, NIST scientists discuss their ambitious project to understand the basic principles of laser welding better than ever before. On its surface, the work is deceptively simple: Shoot a high-power laser beam onto a piece …
“This week MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) announced that a 20-year-old cryptographic puzzle was just solved by a self-taught programmer from Belgium, 15 years earlier than MIT scientists expected. Bernard Fabrot spent the last three and …
“An interdisciplinary initiative is helping KAUST be at the forefront of a digital revolution, where sensors can find a use just about anywhere. The ability to track minuscule but important changes across a range of systems—from the body to …
“Polymers could be designed to reflect or trap heat, regardless of hue. The color of a material can often tell you something about how it handles heat. Think of wearing a black shirt on a sweltering summer’s day — the …
“Is it possible to create a “one-way street” for mechanical energy that only allows heat and sound to flow in one direction? In most standard set-ups, this is impossible: if acoustic energy can flow in one direction, then it can …
“Through an imaginative experiment, researchers were able to get two extremely different animal species located far apart to interact with each other and reach a shared decision with the help of robots. Bees and fish don’t often have the …
“Devices enable designers to begin development with a commercial device before moving to different levels of radiation-qualified versions, reducing development time and costs. From NewSpace to critical space missions, designers of space applications need to reduce design cycles and costs …
