Researchers in a new study have developed a light-printable paper—paper that can be printed with UV light, erased by heating to 120°C (250°F), and rewritten more than 80 times, in an effort to curb the adverse environmental impacts of paper…

Scientists from the Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have shown how a cobalt grid can be reliably programmed at room temperature. In addition, they have discovered that for every hole ('antidot'), three magnetic states can be…

UC Santa Barbara materials researchers have discovered a simple yet effective method for mastering the electrical properties of polymer semiconductors. The elegant technique allows for the efficient design and manufacture of organic…

Industrial biotech startup Manus Bio hopes to make manufacturing flavors, fragrances, and other products greener and more cost-effective — and maybe create new products in the process, using advanced fermentation technology.

At the Bett Show 2017 at London Excel, there was a theme; coding for children. Below are three highlights from the show, aimed at teaching children how to code and programme in conjunction with other STEM projects. From robotics to…

The C-Pen Exam Reader pen scanner is a technological breakthrough for students with dyslexia. It allow students to independently take English exams. Totally portable, pocket-sized device that reads text out aloud with an English human-like…

Billionaire Yuri Milner announced the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative in April last year. He plans to invest $100m in the development of an ultra-light light sail that can be accelerated to 20% of the speed of light to reach the Alpha…

With their unrivaled agility and maneuvering characteristics, achieved by functionally versatile dynamic wing conformations as well as more than forty active and passive joints on the wings, bats have long captured the imaginations of…

Recent research has explored the possibility of all-solid-state batteries, in which the liquid (and potentially flammable) electrolyte would be replaced by a solid electrolyte, which could enhance the batteries’ energy density and safety.

NASA's Juno spacecraft will make its fourth flyby over Jupiter's mysterious cloud tops on Thursday, February 2nd, at 4:57am PST (7:57am EST, 12:57 UTC). At the time of closest approach (called perijove), Juno will be about 2,670m…
