Researchers develop new coating to make lithium metal batteries last longer
When it comes to energy storage technology, researchers are either trying to perfect alternative types of batteries or tweaking the performance of lithium-ion batteries to the absolute limits. One of the latest efforts comes from a New York-based team, who has come up with a new way to extend the life of lithium cells while also ensuring […]

New polythene film can make cracked screens a thing of the past
Cracks and similar damage might occur less often in plastic materials that went through a newly developed manufacturing method. Developed by U.K. researchers, the process produces transparent polythene film with the durability of aluminum at a far lower weight. The plastics produced by this technique may one day see use in displays, glazing, visors, windscreens, and […]

New “squishy robots” can help save lives and improve the effectiveness of emergency response
The next first responder on the scene of a natural disaster may be a robot. A newly developed rescue robot is designed to survive drops of 600 feet (183 m) and send data back to its operators. Each unit features a 3D arrangement of rods. By contracting and extending the length of the rods, the […]

Manufacturing breakthrough: Scientists can now weld glass and metal together
The manufacturing industry has recently welcomed what might prove a breakthrough technology. Scottish researchers showed off a new welding method that uses an incredibly fast laser to fuse together glass and metal. Glass and metal are two of the most common classes of materials used for various purposes. Due to their very different thermal properties, […]

Diabetes TECH? MIT invents a “smart pill” that may replace those painful insulin injections
The painful days of injections several times a day for people with diabetes may be coming to an end. MIT researchers recently developed a “smart pill” that functions like a miniaturized injection. The oddly shaped capsule serves as the container for a tiny needle of freeze-dried insulin and a coiled spring. A disk made of sugar keeps the setup primed […]

Self-healing spacesuits, Venus landers… A buffet of sci-fi concepts to be funded by NASA
Wireless robotic landers, atmospheric probes, spacesuits that seal damage to their skin, and mining operations at the moon’s polar regions are some of the research projects that have earned a welcome injection of funding from NASA in recent times. These concepts might seem like science fiction right now. But in as little as a decade, […]

Scientists develop new technology that extracts valuable chemicals from biological waste
Swedish researchers are keen on recovering as many resources as possible from waste products. One of their latest research projects promises to come up with a way to free useful chemical compounds from biological waste. In this context, biological waste refers to unwanted organic waste products from the agricultural and food industries, such as manure […]

Simple yet surprisingly tricky: Japanese tech start-up tries to develop robots that can clean a room
Tidying up a messy space may be a dull chore for humans, but it is one of the few remaining jobs that they are still better at doing than machines. Well, until Japanese researchers succeeded in their quest to teach the task to robots through deep learning, that is. Children often whine about cleaning up […]

A step closer to hypersonic jet travel: Researchers develop aircraft that can fly from London to New York in less than an hour
U.K. researchers took a big step closer toward turning the dream of hypersonic trans-Atlantic jet travel into reality. They pulled off a successful trial of a pre-cooler that protected jet engines from the heat generated by high-speed flight. In the experiment, the pre-cooler did its job in temperatures found in speeds of 2,500 mph (4,023 […]

Sustainable sports equipment? It’s now possible with the Gigabot X, an open-source industrial 3D printer
An innovative approach to 3D printing may open the door to sustainable outdoor sporting goods. Fused particle fabrication (FPF) allows an additive manufacturing system to create skateboards and snowshoes from recycled plastic. The FPF method makes it possible to use waste plastic as feed material for a 3D printer. The resulting end products meet the special requirements of […]
