Future Innovations

When a process needs a burst of heat, a steady supply may not be enough. Storing thermal energy and delivering it quickly are challenges for applications such as sterilization, cleaning or starting up distillation systems. […]

A special white paint developed at the University of South Florida could offer a new way to cool buildings, reduce energy consumption and lessen reliance on air conditioning. Created in the lab of Distinguished University […]

Engineers can 3D-print high-performance titanium parts for aircraft, medical implants and advanced machinery, but finding the right printing settings can still require costly and time-consuming trial and error. A new study shows how artificial intelligence […]

What happens when additive manufacturing meets target fabrication engineering? An impossibly small, submillimeter-scale cone that can be manufactured 10 times faster than before, enabling new target configurations for experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)’s […]

The NFL has given Carnegie Mellon University researchers access to official film and on-field data to develop new technologies that can enhance the way coaches, players and fans annotate, analyze and understand games.This post was […]

Scientists at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) in Campinas, São Paulo state, developed an instrument for the Sirius particle accelerator that can observe the interior of solar cells on a […]

According to projections, the volume of digital data created, captured, copied and consumed worldwide will reach 175 zettabytes (ZB) in 2026. This is equivalent to the storage capacity of billions of hard drives, such as […]

Vitamin B12 is essential for the body’s proper functioning and is found in foods of animal origin. It is produced by certain bacteria that, in addition to being found in nature, are cultivated at industrial […]

For decades, people using 3D printers have faced a tough decision: print quickly, print parts with fine features or print materials that meet performance requirements. Light-based 3D printers are fast and precise but limited in […]

The muscles of the human ear reveal what and how we feel. This is the finding of Dr. Farah Corona-Strauss and Sophie Bonnaire, researchers at the Systems Neuroscience & Neurotechnology Unit in Saarbrücken and Homburg. […]
