Assembled from tiny identical pieces, the wing could enable lighter, more energy-efficient aircraft designs A team of engineers has built and tested a radically new kind of airplane wing, as... Read more
Imagine being able to hear people whispering in the next room, while the raucous party in your own room is inaudible to the whisperers. Yale researchers have found a way to do just that — ma... Read more
Capturing 1.5 million frames per second could aid sports videography, movie production and scientific research Researchers have developed a new imaging method that can capture images at spee... Read more
Researchers in the College of Engineering and Computer Science have developed a material—a new kind of shape memory polymer (SMP)—that could have major implications for health care. SMPs are... Read more
When a stream of charged particles known as the solar wind careens onto the Moon’s surface at 450 kilometers per second (or nearly 1 million miles per hour), they enrich the Moon’s surface i... Read more
A team of physicists headed by Prof. Sebastian Reineke of TU Dresden developed a new method of storing information in fully transparent plastic foils. Their innovative idea was now published... Read more
Researchers have demonstrated the feasibility of a tiny device that could one day offer an alternative to open brain surgery One of the treatments for managing Parkinson’s Disease is to use... Read more
Scientists developed a method to enhance the activity of enzymes by using radio frequency radiation. The method requires making a special complex consisting of enzymes and magnetic nanoparti... Read more
A new manufacturing technique uses a process similar to newspaper printing to form smoother and more flexible metals for making ultrafast electronic devices. The low-cost process, developed... Read more
Every year, more than one in three individuals aged 65 and older will experience a fall. Falls are the most common cause of injury in older adults, and can create ongoing health problems. Bu... Read more
A multifunctional, multiscale, reconfigurable surface An international team of researchers, led by Harvard University, have developed a dynamic surface with reconfigurable topography that ca... Read more
Magnetic 3-D-printed structures crawl, roll, jump, and play catch MIT engineers have created soft, 3-D-printed structures whose movements can be controlled with a wave of a magnet, much like... Read more
Columbia computer scientists invent FontCode, a way to embed hidden information in ordinary text by imperceptibly changing the shapes of fonts in text. Method could prevent document tamperin... Read more
Technique would allow addition of optical communication components to existing chips with little modification of their designs. Two and a half years ago, a team of researchers led by groups... Read more
With at least two in three Australians diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of 70, monitoring moles and skin is vital in detecting skin cancer early for a generation of people who spent... Read more
