Duke University engineers produced the world’s first fully recyclable printed electronics, replacing chemicals with water in the fabrication process. The industry could substantially reduce its environmental footprint and human health risks…

Space is always at a premium inside cars, planes, machines, and devices. Overall, weight is another consistent challenge. A research team at Saarland University and the Center for Mechatronics and Automation Technology (ZeMA) in Saarbrücken…

Texas A&M University researchers found a 1,000% difference in the storage capacity of metal-free, water-based battery electrodes versus lithium-ion batteries that contain cobalt. The team says that metal-free batteries are better for…

Phoenix Contact FL 1000NT Industrial Unmanaged Ethernet Switches... Feature metal housings and DIN rail mounting and come in a variety of configurations featuring Gigabit, PoE, and SFP ports.>> Learn More or click through the…

Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore created a way to lower heat in data centers. Based on rack density, waste heat generated is approximately 7kW per cubic meter in conventional air-cooled racks. The spray-cooling…

Physicians monitor the brain's electrical signals via an EEG and specialized electrodes implanted into, or placed on, the surface of the head. Scientists can incorporate EEGs into “brain-machine interfaces,” that use brain waves to control…

I’m inconsistent at times when watering my plants. Now, however, I think I’ll reform. Researchers in Israel report that stressed tomato and tobacco plants, whether from dehydration or having their stems severed, emit sounds comparable in…

Researchers at Georgia Tech designed a driving simulation to investigate how intentional robot deception affects trust. They looked at the effectiveness of apologies to repair trust after robots lie. The paper, "Lying About Lying: Examining…

Lehigh Engineering researcher Arup SenGupta developed a way to turn carbon dioxide into a baking ingredient. The development means that we can store the carbon harmlessly in the ocean. The approach, recently published in Science…

Streaming and studying organic tissue are miles apart, but a new method of study brings them closer together than you might think possible. A groundbreaking technique developed by researchers affiliated with the USC Michelson Center for…
