What’s Standing Between You and Your Results?
Engineers in every corner of the world are tasked with a straightforward yet incredibly complex challenge: solving the unsolvable. As if that weren’t enough, they’re also expected to solve the unsolvable faster and with fewer resources than ever before.
Holograms: The Future of Electronic Devices
The nano-hologram created by researchers can be seen without 3-D goggles and is 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. Producing the hologram by fast direct laser writing will allow for its mass production in the very near future.
Engineering Proteins to Stop Disease
Researchers have turned ubiquitin, a staple protein in every cell, into a drug capable of thwarting viruses such as MERS.
Can Diamonds Succeed Where Silicone Fails?
Researchers at Japan's National Institute for Materials Science are studying transistors based on a much more durable material than silicone: diamonds.
