America’s first 3D-printed neighborhood to be built in California
California’s Coachella Valley will soon be home to the first American neighborhood comprised entirely of 3D-printed houses. The $15 million project, a collaboration between real estate group Palari and construction technology company Mighty Buildings, will transform a five-acre parcel of land in Rancho Mirage into a planned community of 15 3D-printed, eco-friendly homes. “This will […]

“Wearable microgrid” uses energy from the human body to power small gadgets
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) have developed a “wearable microgrid” that’s able to utilize energy from the human body to power small electronic devices. In a paper published on March 9 in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers said that they drew inspiration from community microgrids. “We’re applying the concept of […]

Gold-coated silver nanowires promise cheaper, more flexible smart glass
Scientists from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in Canada developed a new way to create foldable and solid devices using silver nanowires coated in gold. Solid and flexible electrochromic (EC) devices, such as foldable displays in smartphones, smart windows and wearable electronics traditionally use iridium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. But despite their use in […]

Researchers look to nanopores for new water treatment methods
For a while now, scientists have been looking into the use of nanomaterials as a way to clean water. The idea is that nanofilters made from these materials would be able to remove even the smallest impurities and contaminants in water. In a recent study published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry, a team led by researchers at the […]

Physicists build “energy harvesting” circuit from graphene
A team of physicists from the University of Arkansas (U of A) has successfully developed graphene-based circuits capable of providing nearly limitless power for small devices. Described in a paper published in the journal Physical Review E, the findings prove a theory the physicists developed at the U of A three yeas ago. This theory stated that freestanding graphene […]

Researchers develop a rewritable paper coating that encrypts sensitive data using only WATER
Chinese researchers have developed a special kind of paper coating that allows invisible messages to be written on it with water. The messages are visible only under ultraviolet (UV) light and can be erased by heating the paper. In a paper published in the journal Matter, the researchers described how invisible messages can be printed […]
