The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a reference material with certified amounts of nicotine and two carcinogens to help ensure accurate testing of commercial tobacco filler—the blended tobacco found in cigarettes.
Three female researchers from UPM have used textile waste to develop a panel to enhance both the acoustic and thermal conditions of buildings. This panel also reduces the energy impact related to the production of construction materials and greenhouse gas emissions.
A Letchworth prototyping company has helped “bring to life” a unique racing car designed by a group of students for an annual high-tech competition.
A team of Stanford engineers have created an economical, plastic-based textile with extraordinary capabilities. If this textile is woven into clothing, it can keep the body cooler than what is possible with synthetic or natural fabrics used in present day clothes.
A gecko’s ability to run across smooth walls and hang upside down from improbable surfaces has fascinated scientists for centuries, including Aristotle who made his observation of it in his History of Animals.
A team of researchers have reported their recent progress in the development of non-toxic, edible batteries. These batteries, which are made of melanin pigments found naturally in hair, eyes and skin, can be used to power ingestible devices employed for diagnosing and treating ailments.
A team of researchers have created a highly stretchable touchpad that can be used to write words and play electronic games. This development could pave the way for flexible, wearable devices with numerous applications.
Superman fans often remember how the Man of Steel produced a diamond out of a coal lump by using extreme heat and pressure generated by his bare hands.
When you reach the end of a ketchup bottle, there is always some that is left stuck to the sides. Researchers from Colorado State University lab have found a solution to this issue by developing a nonstick, nontoxic coating that allows every last drop to come loose.
Two contrasting strategies have come close in the race to develop large-scale quantum computers. One strategy is based on trapping ions, while the other is based on a traditional technology. Both can now develop a basic device, which would be able to run a range of quantum software.
