“In recent years optical fibers have served as sensors to detect changes in temperature, like a thermometer, and pressure, like an artificial nerve. This technique is particularly useful in structures such as bridges and gas pipelines. EPFL researchers have now …
“Researchers develop a framework to encode mechanical memory in a featureless structure – an elastic shell. When Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was translated into Braille, it spanned 1,000 pages over 14 volumes of thick Braille paper …
“A material already known for its unique behavior is found to carry current in a way never before observed Scientists at the Florida State University-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have discovered a behavior in materials called cuprates that suggests …
“New work on silicon nanoparticles – including a world-first – could be the next step forward for technologies such as optical circuits and security barcodes. New work by UNSW Canberra researchers on silicon nanoparticles could be the next step forward for technologies …
“Stanford researchers successfully manufactured high quality optical components using commercially available 3D printing materials. Researchers print optical surface (mirrors, arrays, lens molds), and coat it with a gel. Following curing, the optically smooth surface can be vacuum coated with Al …
“BiSb expands the potential of topological insulators for ultra-low-power electronic devices Scientists have developed the world’s best-performing pure spin current source1 made of bismuth–antimony (BiSb) alloys, which they report as the best candidate for the first industrial application …
“Yale researchers have designed a new system to keep tomorrow’s quantum computers from “leaking.” Large-scale quantum computers are still years away, but it is well known that they will need error correction. All of the components in a quantum …
“A team of researchers from the University of Maryland, the Army Research Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory (U.S. Department of Energy) has published findings on a new advanced battery technology that among its many possible applications has the potential …
“New 3-D printed robotic structures can squeeze in tight spaces like a crack in the wall of a cave, jump over trip wire or crawl under a vehicle - all complex Army-relevant functions impossible for humans to perform safely. Investigators at …
“It’s often been said that the eyes are the window to the soul, revealing what we think and how we feel. Now, new research reveals that your eyes may also be an indicator of your personality type, simply by …
