Innovative method allows researchers to control magnetism, leading to better low-power technologies
American researchers announced a breakthrough in the manipulation of the magnetic properties of a microchip. Their new approach could solve long-standing physical problems that are preventing much-needed advances in computing, memory, and sensor technology. In the joint study between MIT and Brookhaven National Laboratory (Brookhaven), researchers demonstrated how they can alter the magnetic properties of a very thin material with just a little […]

New way of storing data: Powder?
Belgian researchers developed an oligomer powder that can store electronic data. They believe that data storage devices derived from their new material could one day replace conventional storage systems like USB drives and magnetic drives. Like polymers, oligomers are a type of chemical compound that are comprised of more than one molecule. But whereas a […]

New stable photoelectrochemical cell opens the door to more efficient solar cells
New York-based researchers have finally solved the serious instability problems that plague solar cells involved in the production of hydrogen fuel. They encased the cell in a very thin layer of titanium dioxide that allows the passage of light but keeps disruptive effects out. The encapsulation technique physically separates the volatile solar cell from the energetic […]

Researchers create a more energy efficient organic LED
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are going to be much more energy efficient from now on. Korean researchers say they have found a way to improve the external quantum efficiency of an OLED unit. As their name implies, OLEDs are light-emitting diodes that use organic materials to generate light. This makes them more eco-friendly while retaining most […]

Scientists create a “bionic mushroom” that produces electricity
What do you get when you combine an edible mushroom, photosynthetic bacteria, 3D printing, and nanotechnology in one package? A solar-powered bionic fungus, stated a Phys.org article, which can produce usable electricity. This Frankenstein’s Monster is the brainchild of researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens). They used a 3D printer to create cyanobacteria clusters and graphene-based nanoribbons, which […]

High-temperature superconductors may help researchers develop better technologies for fusion energy
Researchers are banking on a newly-developed material to realize the long-standing dream of practical nuclear fusion. They believe high-temperature superconductors (HTS) can raise the efficiency of a fusion power plant to a level that is commercially viable. As their name implies, superconductors are extremely efficient conductors of electricity. They are used in the manufacture of […]

Scientists study how flies fly to build better-balanced drones
An Ohio-based research team published the results of their experiments on several different species of flies. They believe their findings can improve the ability of aerial drones to maintain balance during flight, an article in Science Daily stated. They experimented on a pair of organic structures found on black flies, hoverflies, and flesh flies. Called […]

Star Trek-like tractor beam being developed by researchers in South Australia
The tractor beam is a staple piece of science fiction stories like Star Wars and Star Trek. Australian researchers came up with a real-life energy trap that can grab objects as small and light as an atom and pull that captured object toward it. Powered by infrared light, the newly developed tractor beam device promises […]

New framework speeds the process of teaching robots how to do basic tasks
Stanford roboticists came up with a pair of learning frameworks wherein humans acted as teachers and parents to machines that were learning to perform simple skills. The experts conclude that a robot picked up a skill at a faster rate if a human was teaching it. The frameworks were called RoboTurk and SURREAL. Each framework could operate […]

Bacterium shows promise for producing solar fuels through artificial photosynthesis
American researchers force-fed gold nanoparticles to a non-photosynthetic bacteria. The offering of precious metal bits gave the microbe the ability to turn light into solar fuel, reported a Nanowerk article. Moorella thermoacetica is not normally capable of photosynthesis. Researchers from the University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley) added cadmium sulfide nanoparticles to the exterior of […]
