Temperature control systems play an important role in plastics processing. Products will only achieve the desired surface and properties if the temperature of…
In the future, highly-sensitive sensors could be able to detect magnetic signals from the body in order to draw conclusions on heart or brain functions. In…
Now a group of researchers at Brown University and University of Nebraska – Lincoln (UNL) has come up with a new titanium-based material for making lead-free,…
Researchers have designed a new LED-based train headlight that uses a tenth of the energy required for headlights using conventional light sources. If operated…
The Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) and the Leibniz Universität Hannover demonstrated the fabrication of a crystalline silicon solar cell on…
Today's cellular networks and Wi-Fi systems rely on microwave radiation to carry data, but the demand for more and more bandwidth is quickly becoming more than…
To build more aerodynamic machines, researchers are drawing inspiration from an unlikely source: the ocean.
“Almost everything we do, from having dinner to surfing the Internet, uses resources in some way, but the connections between resource use and human well-being…
Engineers at the University of California, Riverside, have reported advances in so-called “spintronic” devices that will help lead to a new technology for…
Moist cold intake air in the winter months can easily lead to icing of the filter. The filters then allow only minimal airflow and the gas turbine must be…
Washington State University researchers have found a way to more efficiently generate hydrogen from water – an important key to making clean energy more viable.
As fast and powerful as computers have become, Ritesh Agarwal, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the University of…
A network of eight partners, coordinated by the Thünen Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture (Thünen-Institut für Agrarklimaschutz, hereafter TI),…
“In an energy system without fossil fuels, the fluctuations in electricity production from renewables must be balanced out,” says Dr. Christopher Hebling,…
Graphite has been the default choice of active material for anodes in lithium–ion batteries since their original launch by Sony but researchers and…
Up and down, up and down. The points of light alternate back and forth in lockstep. They are produced by glowing molecules affixed to the ends of tiny robot…
