Future Innovations

An international team of researchers has built the first high-performance, commercial-size tandem solar cell that doesn’t rely on the scarce and expensive metal indium. The breakthrough, published in Science, replaces indium-based oxide with abundant tin […]

In a new study presented at the IEEE International Conference on Communications in Glasgow, researchers from Queen Mary University of London and partners from around the world showcased the system, called Joint DAS and GNSS […]

Imagine reaching for a record or glancing at a map and seeing a display bloom from a small box, offering interactive guidance—and then vanishing moments later. A new device, inspired by science fiction and designed […]

Publishing in the journal npj Flexible Electronics, researchers from Kyushu University have developed prototype thin-film electronic modules that can automatically connect and disconnect with one another.This post was originally published on this site

By exploiting the quirks of human vision, Northwestern University engineers have designed a drone that nearly disappears before the eyes. For years, researchers have tried to design invisible drones and robots using camouflage, transparent materials […]

Researchers led by Armin Buchroithner from the Institute of Electrical Measurement and Sensor Systems at TU Graz have developed an innovative photovoltaic system that combines significantly higher output with protection from storms, hail and snow. […]

Knitting has come a long way from sweaters and blankets. Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have turned everyday knitting into a powerful platform for making shape-shifting […]

Using AI-driven materials design, a team of researchers at the University of Toronto Engineering has discovered a new set of metal alloys that retain their strength under extreme conditions.This post was originally published on this […]

Lithium metal has long been considered the ideal material for next-generation rechargeable batteries because it can store far more energy than the graphite anodes used in today’s batteries. However, bringing lithium metal batteries into widespread […]

A spray-based immersion cooling technology capable of effectively cooling lithium-ion battery packs and reducing fire risks using a small amount of dielectric liquid has been developed. The technology demonstrated stable cooling performance under fast charging […]
