MIT Researchers developed a weavable, rechargeable ultra-long fiber lithium-ion battery that may have a future in making 3D-printed batteries in any shape. The world’s longest flexible fiber battery, 140 meters long, was built to…

A team of astrophysicists suggests that all black holes were created instantly after the Big Bang and account for all dark matter. Researchers from the University of Miami, Yale University, and the European Space Agency believe black holes…

Sometimes making the parts necessary for green technologies can have dire effects on human wellbeing. The cobalt used in lithium-ion batteries in Africa's Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a good example. Researchers led by…

While the image above may look like Jello, it isn't. It is an engineered bacteria and silica combination that can self-assemble and self-heal. And, while these materials aren't likely to hit the shelves any time soon, researchers have made…

CHEQ just revealed that bots and fake users made up a whopping 35.7% of all online shoppers this past Black Friday. Fake traffic included malicious scrapers and crawlers, sophisticated botnets, fake accounts, click farms, proxy users, and…

Do you say or do things you soon regret? According to researchers at UC Berkeley and Harvard and a handful of others, “negative urgency” is a clinical form of impulsivity linked to depression, OCD, eating disorders, self-harm, ADHD and…

Mason’s scientists just received $1,000,000 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to fund the "Detecting Criminal Disruption of Supply Chains Study." The research team will use simulation to identify possible ways that criminal…

The detection of ultra-low frequency gravitational waves is delivering insights into the development of the universe, according to researchers at the University of Birmingham. Gravitational waves that transverse the universe at the speed of…

Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are making rapid progress. The fusion of AI and quantum physics is spawning a new field--quantum AI. Before it can be harnessed, however, there’s a small problem of the vulnerability of quantum…

UC San Diego Engineers create a high performance all-solid-state battery with a pure-silicon anode. The battery uses both a solid-state electrolyte and an all-silicon anode, creating a silicon all-solid-state battery. Tests show that the…
