Future Innovations

Weaving is an ancient craft that is still practiced as a hobby by many people around the world. In recent years, it has found new life as more people have returned to hands-on making as […]

When air is blown across the neck of a bottle, it doesn’t just produce a pleasant tone: it also demonstrates a phenomenon called Helmholtz resonance. This occurs when airflow passing across an opening causes air […]

Photovoltaic panels generate electricity, solar thermal collectors provide heat, while cooling is usually supplied by air conditioning systems that themselves consume electricity. As a result, buildings require different technologies competing for the limited space available […]

Optical fiber has already transformed the modern world. New research now suggests it could do even more. A new flat-fiber fabrication technique produces a high-fidelity sensor for a wide range of applications, from batteries to […]

Researchers at the A*STAR Quantum Innovation Center (A*STAR Q.InC), part of the Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) Flagship in Semiconductors, have developed a levitated, millimeter-scale rotor that continued spinning for more than 10 hours after […]

Anyone who has struggled through a poor phone call knows the frustration of missing half a conversation. Now researchers at Queen Mary University of London, led by Paul Anthony Haigh, have developed an artificial intelligence […]

For the first time, researchers have developed a technology that could enable 6G antennas to be mass-produced on wafers in much the same way as semiconductor devices.This post was originally published on this site

Researchers have developed a full-color near-eye display that uses three stacked holographic gratings, each engineered to direct red, green or blue light. The new design could help advance compact, energy-efficient augmented reality (AR) glasses for […]

Researchers at Aalto University, together with international partners, have developed the most accurate model yet of how humans read. The new model uses reinforcement learning, a type of AI used in robotics, to explain—and recreate—the […]

The ability to change focus instantly is something most people take for granted. Every day, our eyes effortlessly switch between reading a book, recognizing a face across the room or watching a bird fly overhead. […]
