The School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia has put together a multidisciplinary team to create a new method for measuring neural activity using light. This […]
Researchers from the Department of Ocean Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) have developed an ‘Ocean Wave Energy Converter’ that can generate electricity from sea waves. Called ‘Sindhuja-I,’ the device is […]
Researchers at the University of California San Diego Center for Wearable Sensors have created a self-powered sensor to monitor metabolites in the small intestine. The sensor could potentially help with gastrointestinal health, nutrition, diagnosis and […]
Engineers at MIT have developed ultralight fabric solar cells that can be affixed to any surface to quickly and easily turn it into a power source. These solar cells are much thinner than a human […]
Researchers from the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) at Harvard used nature as an inspiration to create a new type of soft, robotic gripper. The robotic gripper has a network […]
SolarisFloat has developed an innovative solar energy solution that is one of the first to combine floating solar panels with sun-tracking technology. The floating panels have single- or dual-axis tracking, which is powered by electric […]
Professor Nicky Eshtiaghi and her team at RMIT University in Australia have developed a way to rapidly remove hazardous microplastics from water using magnets. Methods currently in use for removing toxins from water are expensive […]
The Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) of the University of Bristol in England has led a team in developing a strong battery separator using nanomaterials made from seaweed. “This work really demonstrates that greener forms of […]
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have created a lightweight, ultra-shock-absorbing foam that could be used to greatly improve protective headgear. The new material is an architected, vertically aligned carbon nanotube foam which has unique […]
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have made a significant breakthrough in electric vehicle battery design that enables a 10-minute charge time for a typical EV battery. “The need for smaller, faster-charging batteries is greater than […]
