Future Innovations

When David Ha started an AI company in Japan with his former Google colleague, they had a choice: create another huge, energy-intensive tool like ChatGPT, or go their own way.This post was originally published on […]

Hafnium oxide (HfO2) has attracted attention as a promising material for ultrathin semiconductors and other microelectronic devices. The strong ionic bond between hafnium and oxygen atoms in HfO2 gives it a high dielectric constant, superior […]

Imagine adjusting the temperature of the air conditioning or skipping a song in your car, not by fiddling with a screen or voice command, but simply by swiping your hand across the fabric of your […]

In the tug-of-war between order and chaos within multielemental carbides, entropy eventually claims victory over enthalpy by pushing the system toward complete disorder as the diversity of elements in the material increases, as revealed in […]

A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a technological advancement that allows body heat to generate electricity sufficient to power electronic devices. This innovation paves the way for the commercialization of battery-free wearable gadgets […]

Skoltech scientists have devised a mathematical model of memory. By analyzing its new model, the team came to surprising conclusions that could prove useful for robot design, artificial intelligence, and for better understanding of human […]

Displaying one of her company’s hot plates proudly labeled “Made in Germany,” Sigrid Klenk concedes that maintaining production at home could become harder due in part to US tariffs.This post was originally published on this […]

A team of scientists from China and the U.S. is pioneering the development of bubble-powered robots, which could one day replace needles for painless drug delivery into the body. Inspired by nature, the researchers developed […]

Princeton engineers are twisting, stretching and creasing structures to create a new type of origami, one that changes its shape and properties in response to changing circumstances. The new method could be useful for prosthetics, […]

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have created a new material platform for non-volatile memories using covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are crystalline solids with high thermal stability. The researchers successfully installed electric-field-responsive dipolar rotors […]
