“In a world first, the US Armed Forces has 3D printed a barracks out of concrete on site at an army base, in less than two days. The Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) constructed the 46-square-metre building in 40 hours …
“Volvo Trucks is now presenting a new transport solution consisting of autonomous electric commercial vehicles that can contribute to more efficient, safer and cleaner transportation. The long-term goal is to offer companies that need continuous transport services between fixed hubs …
“Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961), one of the giants of contemporary science, considered “entanglement” the most interesting property in quantum mechanics. In his view, it was this phenomenon that truly distinguished the quantum world from the classical world. Entanglement occurs …
“Joint European R&D team shows that black silicon with reflectance below 1% is ready for industrial solar panel production. A 2011 invention made by Aalto University’s researchers has proceeded from concept to reality. Just a few years ago …
“Scientists can now measure 3-D structures of tiny particles with properties that hold promise for advanced sensors and diagnostics. The Science Extremely small structures, far smaller in diameter than a strand of hair, could greatly benefit sensors and other devices …
News Graphene enables clock rates in the terahertz range: researchers pave the way for nanoelectronics of the future
“Graphene – an ultrathin material consisting of a single layer of interlinked carbon atoms – is considered a promising candidate for the nanoelectronics of the future. In theory, it should allow clock rates up to a thousand times faster than today’s …
“DARPA’s new research in brain-computer interfaces is allowing a pilot to control multiple simulated aircraft at once. A person with a brain chip can now pilot a swarm of drones — or even advanced fighter jets, thanks to research funded …
“Breakthrough CSAIL system suggests robots could one day be able to see well enough to be useful in people’s homes and offices. Humans have long been masters of dexterity, a skill that can largely be credited to the help …
“Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory induced a two-dimensional material to cannibalize itself for atomic “building blocks” from which stable structures formed. The findings, reported in Nature Communications, provide insights that may improve design of …
“A small, black box developed in a McMaster University lab could change the way scientists search for new antibiotics. The Printed Fluorescence Imaging Box – or PFIbox, for short – is capable of collecting massive amounts of data that will help researchers …
