Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research and the Heidelberg University announced the creation of a new technology designed to assemble matter in 3D. They based their research on using multiple acoustic holograms to…

The International Space Station (I.S.S.) National Laboratory wants your advanced materials and manufacturing projects. It is currently soliciting flight projects for in-space production applications to advance applications that can bring…

A recent Nature Energy paper reports progress toward lithium-metal batteries that can charge in about an hour based on quickly grown lithium metal crystals. Using a crystal growing surface that lithium doesn't "like," the seed crystals grow…

Microsoft is betting the farm on AI and revamping its Bing search engine and Edge web browser with artificial intelligence. It’s pouring billions into AI in a move to take on Alphabet Inc’s Google. Generative AI can create virtually any…

An international team of researchers has developed a technique using liquid metal to create an elastic material impervious to both gases and liquids. The material could be important in packaging high-value technologies that require…

Researchers from the University of Rochester outlined a new method to control electron spin in silicon quantum dots that we can use to manipulate data in a quantum system. They published their findings in a paper in Nature Physics. The…

President Biden and Prime Minister Modi announced a U.S.-India initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology (iCET) in May 2022, and its inaugural meeting just took place in Washington, D.C. Discussions centered on opportunities for…

Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) are too cool for school... and too hot. They've created a building material that changes its infrared color based on the amount of heat it absorbs…

Stimuli-responsive polymers, materials capable of altering their chemical and/or physical properties in response to external stimuli, have changed the game in robotics. Substances like dielectric elastomers, hydrogels (spider warning),…

Engineers and physicians innovated a wearable ultrasound device that assesses the structure and function of the human heart. The wearable is the size of a postage stamp and can be worn for up to 24 hours. It even works with strenuous…
