Researchers are “storing” energy using eggshells with new conductive material
The spent shells of chicken eggs might go from unwanted biowaste to a cheap, renewable, and valuable alternative material to metals in lithium-ion batteries. A German-led study reports that powdered chicken eggshells successfully store large amounts of electrical energy. Led by researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the international team tested eggshells as a […]

Quantum computer allows you to see “multiple futures”
Quantum computers might one day predict the future. While looking at more than 14 million possible futures remains out of reach, the quantum simulator used by Singaporean researchers proved capable of viewing 16 different outcomes. Traditional computers code data as binary digits (bits) of either 0 or 1. Their quantum counterparts store information into quantum […]

Researchers develop displacement sensor that reveals important data about the nature of gravity
A Japanese research team has come up with a displacement sensor that measures the gravitational force exerted by the smallest masses. They believe that their new instrument has made it possible to study the nature of gravity in greater detail. Gravity remains one of the most mysterious phenomena in modern science. The physical laws that […]

Thought-controlled weapons: DARPA funds 6 organizations in a bid to develop BRAIN-MACHINE interfaces for soldiers
One of the last things anyone should want is a machine-brain interface, even if it is a non-invasive type that doesn’t require brain surgery. However, the US military recently announced that it was throwing money at half a dozen organizations to come up with a system that lets its user control equipment with a thought. […]

Researchers use ring-spinning technique to develop sustainable and durable yarn
A Swedish laboratory has brought together traditional spinning techniques, recycled textiles, and natural fibers to develop a yarn that displayed impressive durability, while the mix of recycled and renewable fibers made it a sustainable material. Developed in the University of Boras by Swedish and Dutch researchers, the yarn may help alleviate the harmful effects of the textile […]

No more spoiled milk? Researchers develop unique sensor that can “smell” if milk has expired without opening the container
You may not trust the expiration date printed on the milk container for various reasons. That’s why researchers have made a new colorimetric nanosensor that “smells” the dairy product to see if it’s still safe for drinking. Researchers from various departments and schools of Washington State University (WSU) pooled their expertise together to create a device […]

3D-printed generator allows you to generate electricity from snowfall
People can now tap snowfall for electricity, thanks to triboelectric nanogenerators that collect electrical energy from innocuous activities like footsteps and raindrops. The new energy harvester, developed by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), is not only inexpensive but light as well – matching the thinness and flexibility of a plastic sheet. “The device can work […]

A deadly job is a good job for robots
Indian engineers are developing robots that can perform the dangerous job of entering toilets and sewers for manual cleaning. The machines will replace people from the lower castes who continue to ply this trade despite the government banning the practice decades ago. Hinduism places considerable emphasis on the opposed ideas of purity and pollution. Pious […]

New 3D tech allows real-time hand gesture interaction between humans and computers
German researchers reveal a new technology that makes machines much more responsive to the input of human workers. It lets users interact with devices through simple hand gestures, thus saving time and increasing efficiency. People have invented machines to make jobs simpler and safer. In the situations that they support humans in the workplace, the […]

Advancing detection and diagnosis: Scientists enable 3D printers to print glass using material called chalcogenide glass
Additive manufacturing systems have added another challenging material to the list of things they may print on the fly. Canadian researchers demonstrated the capability to print out chalcogenide glass with a modified 3D printer. Chalcogenide glass is a type of covalently bonded glass that contains certain chemicals called “chalcogens.” It sees extensive use in optical […]
