Monitor screens and smartphones that can be rolled and folded up are applications that could become possible in the future thanks to the development of polymer…
Graphene is simultaneously the most durable, light and an electrically conductive carbon material. It can be used for manufacturing solar batteries, smartphone…
By channeling the intensity of x-rays, synchrotron light sources can reveal the atomic structures of countless materials. Researchers from around the world…
Some Illinois researchers working on artificial muscles are seeing results even the fittest individuals would envy, designing muscles capable of lifting up to…
The Fraunhofer IAP at the ILA 2018: Hall 2, booth 229 and hall 3, booth 403c
Fast charging of electric cars requires a lot of energy in a short period of time. These peak loads lead to bottlenecks in the power grid, and are one of the…
Gaps in maps are a problem, particularly for systems being developed for self-driving cars. To address the issue, researchers from MIT's Computer Science and…
Of the four states of matter, gases are the hardest to pin down. Gas molecules move quickly and wildly and don't like to be confined. When confined, heat and…
As the growing season progresses, you might not notice much about what's happening to plants under the soil. Most of us pay attention to new shoots, stems,…
When we are awake, an incredible amount of sensory information flows into the brain, where it is filtered to distinguish important signals from all the noise….
The typical wavelength of light interacting with an object of the microcosm scales with the size of this object. For atoms, this ranges from visible light to…
The process that the body sets in motion in the event of inflammation is complex, but also impressive. The main role here is played by immune cells migrating…
Without enzymes, nature would come to a standstill. These tiny molecules accelerate biochemical reactions or make them possible in the first place. But how…
The combination of intelligent acoustic sensor technology with secure and reliable data processing has the potential to revolutionize automated process control…
Climate change could speed the natural regrowth of forests on undeveloped or abandoned land in the eastern U.S., according to a new study.
Terahertz radiation was already a major topic a good ten years ago, in connection with body scanners for inspecting passengers during airport security…
