A study, published in App. Phys. Lett. 2016, DOI:10.1063/1.4959272, highlights that only a streak of light is needed to transform a metal-free metamaterial from a state that blocks specific wavelengths of light to a state that allows such restricted wavelengths to pass through.
For being our familiar anchor in the night sky, the moon still holds mysteries for scientists. To illuminate the unknown, Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has signed a contract with NASA to deploy SkyFire, a 6U CubeSat planned to launch to the moon in 2018 with Orion’s Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1).
The latest innovation by high-tech British micro engineering company Epigem looks set to further revolutionise the microfluidic industry.
BitFlow frame grabber accelerates development of human-scale passenger capsule for SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition
As custom-made prosthetics can now be easily created with 3D printing, bioengineers are exploring other methods to manufacture real cellular materials. This technology could form the origin for tissue-engineered skin, personalized biomedical devices, bone, cartilage, and even working bladders.
Soft materials possess significant amounts of damping energy, and this is the reason why rubber tires are capable of absorbing the shock of potholes and bumps. If researchers try to develop autonomous soft systems such as soft robots, they will then require a technique to transfer energy across soft materials.
A lot of nothing, or something, is what is required to strengthen or reinforce concrete. The “nothing” part can be defined as microscopic voids and the “something” part has specific particles inserted into the most frequently used construction material on Earth.
The CondenSyn Mini combines innovative design and high efficiency, providing a water-free solution for vapor condensation in small-scale chemical reactions.
The University of Bristol engineers have developed a new shape-changing metamaterial. This metamaterial was created using an ancient Japanese art known as Kirigami. In Kirigami, 3D shapes are obtained by cutting and folding paper.
Researchers from the Imperial College London have suggested that it is possible to create a new form of light by coupling light into a single electron. The resulting light has the properties of both the electron and the light.
