“Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a miniature, ultra-low power injectable biosensor that could be used for continuous, long-term alcohol monitoring. The chip is small enough to be implanted in the body just beneath the surface …
“Exotic physics can happen when quantum particles come together and talk to each other. Understanding such processes is challenging for scientists, because the particle interactions can be hard to glimpse and even harder to control. Moreover, modern computer simulations struggle …
“Why do virtual reality headsets make users nauseous? One reason is latency, or the almost imperceptible amount of time it takes for a display image to change in response to a user’s head movement. However, the Joint Photographic Experts …
News Chaos that will keep you warm: Bayreuth researchers improve heat insulation using deliberate chaos
“Powder is extremely well-suited for thermal insulation when there is a jumble of different sized nanoparticles in it. This was discovered by a research group at the University of Bayreuth led by Prof. Dr. Markus Retsch. The scientists were able …
“First experimental proof of self-modulation of particle bunches In a multi-national effort a team of researchers from DESY, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and other institutes have demonstrated a remarkable feature of self-organisation in a particle beam that can …
News How to Cool a Smart Phone: NUST MISIS Scientists Develop Effective Heat Conductors for Electronics
“NUST MISIS scientists have developed composites which conduct heat many times better than their counterparts and are even subject to simple and cheap processing. By using the newly obtained technology in modern electronics it is possible to solve the problem …
“Researchers at the University of Notre Dame are developing a renewable energy approach for synthesizing ammonia, an essential component of fertilizers that support the world’s food production needs. The Haber-Bosch process developed in the early 1900s for producing ammonia …
“Researchers at Dartmouth College have developed a smart ink that turns 3D-printed structures into objects that can change shape and color. The innovation promises to add even more functionality to 3D printing and could pave the way to a new …
“Electrodes on the face and jaw pick up otherwise undetectable neuromuscular signals triggered by internal verbalizations. MIT researchers have developed a computer interface that can transcribe words that the user verbalizes internally but does not actually speak aloud. The system …
“Study results could one day inform the design of new materials for protective gear, energy-harvesting devices and more Helmets that do a better job of preventing concussions and other brain injuries. Earphones that protect people from damaging noises. Devices that …
