Ford has devised technology to bring scenic cues to the visually impaired with a prototype smart car window that will allow blind people to “feel the view.”

Shielded Solid Insulation Systems (2SIS) provide advanced protection and dependability. With all current carrying components encapsulated by a high dielectric insulating epoxy, the probability of internal arcing is minimized.

Rice University students have developed a technique to simplify the placement of electrodes in the brains of patients with epilepsy.

Washington, D.C.-based American University has achieved carbon neutrality two years before its 2020 target, making it the first U.S. university to have a net-zero carbon footprint.

To fight fungal infections, researchers from the University at Buffalo have used 3D printers to build dentures filled with microscopic capsules that release antifungal medication.

The Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE) can operate efficiently from a standing start at sea level all the way to Mach 25 at the edge of space 90 km (56 miles) up before returning to the runway to land.

Potable water is an essential resource and while a plethora of technologies exist that produce clean water, their economic feasibility is debatable. As nanotechnology has pushed the bounds in every other industry, its presence in the water filtration market is beginning to take hold.

Carnegie Mellon University researchers have used inexpensive 3D printers to create flat plastics that are self-folding.

The release of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model will include model code and documentation, as well as output from an initial set of benchmark simulations.

Has your hand ever cramped up from signing your name too many times? If so, the 18th-century Swiss watchmaker Jaquet Droz has a solution for you that will only set you back $367,500. After four years in development, the Jaquet Droz Signing Machine is ready to ship as part of the company's 280th-anniversary celebration.

MIT researchers have developed a method for creating membranes that filter a variety of molecules.

A layer of vertical graphene flakes forms a protective surface, preventing bacterial attachment to implants.

The three-stage launch vehicle features first- and second-stage solid propellant motors, a cryogenic liquid third stage and up to six strap-on solid rocket boosters.

Twenty-five futuristic technology concepts that have the potential to transform space travel missions have been selected by NASA for feasibility studies.
