Future Innovations

What if the blue pigment in your ink or dye could help power the future of clean energy? A recent study suggests it could. A research team led by professor Hiroshi Yabu at Tohoku University’s […]

Cameras have long been regarded as tools for capturing what the human eye can see. But that assumption may soon be challenged.This post was originally published on this site

Researchers at AIST, in collaboration with the Institute of Science Tokyo and the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, have developed a “current comparator” that uses diamond quantum sensors to accurately evaluate both AC […]

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, making up about 30% of total protein and providing structure, strength and elasticity to skin, bones and soft tissues.This post was originally published on this […]

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a next-generation electronic skin that can sense and directly visualize pressure in real time, addressing key limitations of current wearable sensing technologies.This post was originally […]

While silicon carbide (SiC) has long been promoted as a key to developing electronics for extreme environments, the field has been stuck in the lab. Now, a team of researchers focusing on junction field-effect transistors, […]

A new approach that uses light to switch the magnetic states of a material could lead to faster, smaller and more energy-efficient data storage. Engineers at the University of California San Diego published their findings […]

Scientists have developed an air purifier charged by sunlight and indoor LED lights, potentially offering an inexpensive, lower-maintenance alternative to standard filtration systems that protect users from pollutants and airborne diseases. The study, published in […]

Using the human body to transmit signals, Georgia Tech engineers have created a wireless networking system that allows tiny implantable sensors and actuators to communicate with each other and with wearable devices. Their system means […]

Mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Anupam Pandey’s research team has found that microscopic folds in soft materials can act like tiny, programmable traffic gates for liquid droplets. The folds can stop droplets, let them pass […]
