What’s UHVDC? It’s the future of power, that’s what
In the coming days, the electricity in China and other emerging countries will be delivered by ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC). This modern take on an ancestral form of power transmission can deliver incredible amounts of electricity from one end of the massive country to another without losing any of it. The rapidly-increasing Chinese middle class […]

Making better solar panels with graphene
Solar energy will benefit from the latest discovery regarding the pure form of a supermaterial. American researchers have found a way to enhance the charge and energy flow of graphene, which in turn can be applied to devices that harvest light. Graphene is made up of carbon atoms that are arranged in a hexagonal lattice. […]

We are now a step closer to harnessing nuclear fusion
A fusion reactor built out of unsafe and unreliable parts might as well be called a thermonuclear bomb. Aware of this problem, European researchers paired together different imaging techniques to make a dual-imaging system that can accurately determine the quality of the reactor components before final assembly. Practical nuclear fusion is not just about replicating the process […]

New non-destructive method helps experts measure salt content in concrete structures and prevent damage
Japanese researchers came up with a new way to determine the amount of destructive salt that has accumulated in a concrete structure. They bombarded a structure with neutrons, causing the salt crystals in the material to give off detectable reactions. Infrastructure gets worn out from the passage of time, human usage, and exposure to natural […]

Research team creates a variety of eco-friendly battery shapes using 3D printing technology
Researchers from South Korea have tapped additive manufacturing techniques and environment-friendly materials to develop a plethora of new batteries. These new energy storage devices can be printed in the right shape and size, so they can fit even the smallest and oddest-shaped wearable electronics. There is an increasing number of flexible electronics and wireless devices that are […]

Researchers use laser holograms to trap and control tiny objects the size of single cells
Perspective matters. A narrow beam of light will barely warm your skin, but it will exert an irresistible grip on objects that are mere micrometers or nanometers in diameter. South African researchers demonstrated how a laser beam can steer tiny objects the size of a single human cell. Their technique is called “holographic optical trapping and tweezing.” In addition to […]

Lignin-nylon composite can be used as an eco-friendly 3D printing material, researchers say
Researchers have found a great use for lignin produced by bio-refining processes. By combining the woody waste product with nylon, they came up with a renewable feedstock material that can be used by 3D printers to manufacture eco-friendly products. Lignin comprises a good percentage of the mass of a plant. It is responsible for the rigidity of a plant’s cell walls. […]

Your next data storage device could be as small… as a molecule
The seemingly unending desire for increasing amounts of space to store even more electronic data has led Swiss researchers to look for answers at the molecular level. They came up with a data storage network made up of molecules, each of which could store a bit of data. The concept takes advantage of the ability of […]

Scientists develop revolutionary material that can shape-shift
We are getting one step closer toward the liquid metal “polyalloy” that allowed the T-1000 killer robot to change its appearance in Terminator 2. Recently, a Texas-based research team unveiled a new polymer made from liquid crystal and plastic that can shape-shift into complex forms. At room temperature, the material will assume the physical form […]

Researchers develop a system that levitates objects using only ultrasonic waves
Have you ever imagined moving a small object across the room by just pointing at the direction you need it to go? German researchers have created a device called LeviCursor that can accomplish that magical task of levitating items with invisible ultrasonic waves. LeviCursor is the the latest step towards realizing a dream long cherished by information technology (IT) […]
