  • Sensor swiftly spots COVID agents in indoor air

    Results are returned in about five minutes from a device that can also monitor for flu and other respiratory viruses.

  • Tailwind for even more clean energy

    Two wind turbines provide the electricity equivalent of around 340 households for use by Arburg.

  • Design trends of Li-ion batteries in medical devices

    As we continue to propel forward into modern technology, the design trends lean toward a small footprint and portability. This means the battery systems that power modern healthcare devices must follow suit.

  • Study: Mycelium shows promise as sustainable fire-retardant

    The team determined that a thermal protective char layer forms around the mycelium in response to fire exposure or radiant heat exposure. The longer and the higher the temperature at which mycelium char survives, the better its application as a fireproof material.

  • Raman lidar goes underwater to monitor oil

    The system can remotely distinguish various substances underwater, and can measure the thickness of oil up to 12 m away.

  • Lollipop-like device 'sweetens' throat swabs

    The device, which works in lieu of traditional throat swabs for strep throat, features a spoon-like stick with a spiral shaped grooved etched to capture bacteria, such as the kind associated with strep throat.

  • Discover Evident's revolutionary CIX100 inspection system in action

    Master manufacturing with CIX100 — Elevating standards with precision and reliability.

  • THK linear motion solutions offered worldwide

    THK: Accurate and reliable motion since 1971.

  • Heat battery designed to store renewable energy

    The system takes renewable solar and wind energy from the grid and stores 100 kWh as heat for up to 23 days.

  • Cable carrier as a compact, cost-effective energy supply system

    The new igus e-chain cable carrier is made entirely of recyclate and can be installed in seconds to guide cables reliably.

  • Four-armed robotic surgical system developed for laparoscopic surgery

    The EPFL team claims that their four-armed robotic surgical system, which is designed to perform laparoscopic surgeries — surgeries that are performed in the abdomen or pelvis using small incisions with the aid of a camera — is the first of its kind.

  • Scientists create edible, transparent and biodegradable food packaging

    To potentially alleviate the environmental impact of plastic food packaging, the team of CUHK scientists is exploring the use of bacterial cellulose (BC).

  • Prototype packaging promises to reduce foodborne illnesses, food waste

    Designed to alert consumers and manufacturers in real-time of food contamination without even opening the packaging, the prototype packaging tray is designed much-like a boat with sloped sides.

  • Radar-targeting battle gear designed to destroy drones

    The Smash Hopper performs according to remote commands given by the operator. Meanwhile, RADA’s radar detects drones from many kilometers away and alerts combat units of possible threats.

  • Baseball cap diverts toxins, particulates from the wearer's face

    Dubbed Hat 35, the air purifying wearable reportedly filters toxins and particulates and delivers clean air to the wearer.

  • Consortium develops inexpensive titanium armor for land-based defense applications

    Under the Affordable Titanium to Useable Defense Equipment (ATiTUDE) program, the consortium has used the FCT HP D 250 (FAST/SPS) followed by the FENN Hot Rolling Mill in Phase 2 to manufacture armor plate for ballistic protection in land-based applications.

  • New algorithm identifies biological sex via dental X-rays

    Researchers developed and trained an algorithm to determine the biological sex of a subject using dental X-rays with a 94% rate of accuracy.

  • DARPA seeks to develop silent submarine

    To develop this new propulsion system, the team based its work on a concept called magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) wherein a fluid is charged and accelerated via an electromagnetic field to produce thrust.

  • Ear as effective an identifier as fingerprint: Study

    The research was conducted to validate a technique called Cameriere's ear identification method, which relies on measurements and ratios of various sections of the ear including the helix, antihelix, concha and lobe.

  • MIT builds magnetic robot that promises to inch its way into human blood vessels

    The soft robot moves via an inchworm-like mechanism that is achieved via magnetized rubber polymer spirals.
