An international team of engineers has adapted a medical imaging technique to give 3D-printed materials the ability to sense where they are being damaged and track how that damage develops in real time.
Researchers from the Biointegrated Materials and Engineering group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have shown that adding trace amounts of different metal ions to chitosan can locally tune how stiff, strong or flexible the material becomes without changing its underlying…
Researchers at Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) in Berlin and collaborating institutions have transmitted data at up to 1.5 gigabits per second using novel far-UVC LEDs. The devices, developed at FBH, set a record for wireless optical communication at wavelengths below 235 nanometers.
Chinese researchers have developed a way to manipulate objects on solid surfaces using specially structured vibrations, allowing particles and other small objects to be confined, moved in circular paths or rotated without the complex electronic control systems normally required to generate such…
Industrial processes generate large amounts of heat that often cannot be used immediately. One reason is that the supply of heat and demand for it often occur at different times. Thermal energy storage systems can bridge this gap by absorbing surplus heat and making it available later.
University of Waterloo engineers have developed a low-cost, customizable 3D-printed filter that removes up to 90% of microplastics from water, offering an inexpensive solution for residential and industrial use. The work is published in the journal Separation and Purification Technology.
As freshwater scarcity becomes more prevalent, solar evaporation is drawing attention as a promising solution. This process uses sunlight to heat the surface of salty or contaminated water, turning it into vapor that can be collected as clean water when it condenses.
You pick up a fragile glass from the table. Without thinking about it, you feel its surface against your fingertips and continuously adjust your grip. You hold it firmly enough to keep it from slipping out of your hand, but not so tightly that it breaks.
