Future Innovations

In a breakthrough that could redefine the future of wearable technology, scientists at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have developed an electronic skin that can heal itself within just 10 seconds of being damaged. […]

When you pull something—like a rubber band—you expect it to get longer. But what if it did the opposite? What if it suddenly shrank instead? In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy […]

A team of engineers and AI specialists at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an AI application that can design stable structures from standard LEGOs using text prompts. In their study published on the arXiv preprint […]

Two University of Waterloo alumni are changing Major League Baseball (MLB) with a data-driven pitching simulator that replicates the real experience of batting against a professional pitcher.This post was originally published on this site

The soft, waxy “solid refrigerant” being investigated in a UK laboratory may not look very exciting, but its unusual properties promise an air-conditioning revolution that could eliminate the need for greenhouse gases.This post was originally […]

Tuochao Chen, a University of Washington doctoral student, recently toured a museum in Mexico. Chen doesn’t speak Spanish, so he ran a translation app on his phone and pointed the microphone at the tour guide. […]

Inorganic semiconductors form the backbone of modern electronics due to their excellent physical properties, including high carrier mobility, thermal stability, and well-defined energy band structures, which enable precise control over electrical conductivity. Unfortunately, their intrinsic […]

A team of researchers at Nagoya University has discovered something surprising. If you have two tiny vibrating elements, each one barely moving on its own, and you combine them in the right way, their combined […]

As virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies rapidly evolve, the demand for more immersive, multisensory experiences grows alongside them. Among the key frontiers is tactile feedback—the ability to physically feel the virtual world.This […]

A team of researchers from Cornell Tech is reimagining how technology can support users with speech disabilities—not just in functional speech, but also in making real-time jokes during conversations.This post was originally published on this […]
