MoS2 transistor that can be used with bendable OLED displays

“A team of researchers from Yonsei University, and Chung-Ang University, both in Korea, has developed a MoS2 transistor that can be used with bendable OLED displays. In their paper published on the open access site Science Advances, the group explains …

Novamene, A Potential Breakthrough Material, To Be Synthesized With Khalifa University

“Newly Conceived Carbon Material Could Become Foundation for Faster, More Efficient Electronics and Quantum Computers The transformative potential of a new carbon material conceived three years ago by two Emirati brothers and an American nuclear scientist may soon be realized …

Pulp Nonfiction: Low-Cost Touch Tracking for Paper

“Paper continues to be a versatile and indispensable material in the 21st century. Of course, paper is a passive medium with no inherent interactivity, precluding us from computationally-enhancing a wide variety of paper-based activities. In this work, we present a …

Research group tests innovative 3D printing process for space flight

“BAM wants to manufacture tools for the first time under zero gravity conditions using 3D printing. Together with the Clausthal University of Technology (CUT) and the DLR Institute of Composite Structures and Adaptive Systems in Braunschweig, BAM is testing its …

Why Perovskite Solar Cells Are So Efficient

“Solar cells with efficiencies above 20% and produced at low costs – perovskites make this possible. Now, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have gained fundamental insight into the function of perovskite solar cells. They found that bound states of …

Advanced sensor to unlock the secrets of the brain

“CNBP researchers have announced the development of a state-of-the-art sensor that can for the first time detect signalling molecules, called cytokines, which operate in the living brain. Cytokines in the brain are secreted by glia cells that make up nearly …

Applying Computer-Human Collaboration to Accelerate Detection of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities

“Today, Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), Government off-the-shelf (GOTS), and Free and open-source (FOSS) software support nearly all aspects of DoD, military, and commercial operations. Securing this diverse technology base requires highly skilled hackers who reason about the functionality of software and …

Artificial Intelligence Accelerates Discovery of Metallic Glass

“Machine learning algorithms pinpoint new materials 200 times faster than previously possible If you combine two or three metals together, you will get an alloy that usually looks and acts like a metal, with its atoms arranged in rigid geometric …

Chemical sleuthing leads to detection of little-known flame retardant in the environment

“Chemists at Indiana University have published research findings on their discovery of a new and relatively unknown flame retardant in the environment. Their study is the first to detect the potentially toxic chemical in North America. The chemical, called TTBP …

Conductive Paint Transforms Walls Into Sensors, Interactive Surfaces

“Walls are what they are — big, dull dividers. With a few applications of conductive paint and some electronics, however, walls can become smart infrastructure that can sense human touch, detect gestures and detect when appliances are used. Researchers at Carnegie …
