Scientists create a material that has near-zero friction at engineering scale
American researchers have improved upon their earlier graphene-based lubricant. Their revised formula can actually generate itself and has a longer useful lifespan compared to other solid lubricants, an article in Nanowerks reported. Superlubricity is a state where there is very little friction. A surface coated by a superlubricant is very slippery and barely gives off […]

Boeing says it’s working on creating a hypersonic jet that can fly passengers from New York to Tokyo “for lunch”
Aerospace giant Boeing is designing a passenger jet that can fly at five times the speed of sound. What’s more, the new aircraft will be so automated, it will need only one pilot instead of the two mandated by European safety regulations, an article in The Independent reported. Vice President Steve Nordlund explained that Boeing […]

Looking into the future of robotics in the field of medical rehabilitation
German researchers are developing robotic replacements for human medical therapists. The socially assistive robots (SARs) will be placed in charge of physical rehabilitation of human patients who are recovering from serious illnesses, an article in Science Daily stated. The generally improving state of medical know-how will enable more patients to survive strokes and other serious diseases. […]

Is this the most wear-resistant metal in the world? This alloy is 100x more durable than high-strength steel
High-strength steel just became the second most durable metal in the world. American researchers recently presented a new metal alloy that is 100 times more resistant to wear and tear. Made from gold and platinum, the alloy is the first of its kind to match the durability of diamond and sapphire. It could skid around […]

Singaporean engineers build a quadcopter drone that runs entirely on sunlight
There is something missing on the newest aerial drone presented by Singaporean researchers. The small electric aircraft does not bother with a battery or other form of energy storage systems. Instead, it gets all of its power from the sun. Designed by National University of Singapore (NUS) students, the prototype quadcopter takes up as much […]

Computer experts warn that hackers can learn what’s on your computer screen just by listening to your webcam’s microphone
Your computer emits all kinds of noise, including ultrasonic sounds that cannot be picked up by the human ear. Hackers can record that noise through your microphone and convert it into a rather accurate copy of the information flashing on your monitor, an article in Wired reported. Researchers from several different universities demonstrated the hacking […]

MIT researchers design a novel encryption method that secures data used in online neural networks
A combination of two encryption techniques may one day allow neural networks to have their computing cake and eat it, too. An article in Science Daily stated that the new technique improves the security of cloud-based machine learning without incurring any penalties in speed. Machine learning requires a lot of computational power. Convolutional neural networks, for […]

All-solid-state battery holds the potential to completely revolutionize portable electronics
The biggest weakness of all-solid-state batteries is their slow charging and discharging speeds. Japanese researchers have found a way to decrease the electrical resistance between the electrode and electrolyte, greatly increasing the rate at which a battery transports electrical energy, an article in Nanowerk reported. The new batteries were devised by a joint effort of […]

New fabrication process creates millimeter-sized soft robot that looks like a spider
Imagine a robot with a soft body that is shaped like a spider and is no bigger than a penny. That is what a Harvard-led team of researchers has produced using a new manufacturing method that can build millimeter-scale soft robots, an article in Science Daily stated. The researchers believe that soft robots wearing the […]

U.S. Army begins testing a new bullet-proof “spider suit”
Its creator dubbed it “Dragon Silk.” Yet the bullet-proof body armor that will be made from it is dubbed the “spider suit.” The odd naming conflict is because the material is actually spider silk spun by silkworms, an article in the Daily Mail reported. Natural spider silk is one of the strongest materials in existence. Many believe […]
