Future Innovations

Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute, in collaboration with China’s Nanjing and Huazhong Universities, have developed a new acoustic metamaterial capable of transmitting complex sound signals directly between water and air. The advance, reported in the […]

The pixels in phone screens and other OLED displays appear to provide a uniform glow, but a team of University of Michigan Engineering researchers has discovered the light actually originates from nanoscale hotspots, some of […]

What if electronic circuits could be created simply by drawing lines with a pencil on paper or leaves—and then immediately applied to soft robots or skin-attached health monitoring devices? Korean researchers have developed an electronic […]

A research team led by Professor Jae Eun Jang and Dr. Goeun Pyo from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST has developed “dual-modulated vertically stacked transistors” that operate stably without current […]

Among the biggest complaints inhibiting growth in the electric vehicle market is the limited lifespan and range of lithium-ion batteries. Consumers fear being stranded far from home with long wait times at recharging stations. A […]

Do you want to know how much noise there is on a construction site? You want to measure the sound of the excavator or the hammer drill, but you don’t want to measure seagulls, traffic […]

Cobalt and nickel are vital components for batteries, superalloys and catalysts, used in technologies ranging from smartphones to jet engines. But when it comes to recycling, they are notoriously difficult to separate because they are […]

More than 500 years ago, Michelangelo spent four years painting “The Creation of Adam” on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, struggling with paint dripping onto his face. He described the process as “closer to […]

A joint research team has reported for the first time that the resistive switching behavior of ion-motion-mediated volatile memristors, which are emerging as promising next-generation semiconductor devices, originates from a combined mechanism comprising multiple conductive […]

Inspired by the infrared sensory organs of snakes, which allow them to detect prey in complete darkness, researchers at UNIST have harnessed artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a sensor material that significantly enhances thermal detection […]
