Future Innovations

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Sharp Corp, Mitsubishi Chemical Corp, and TECHLAB Co, jointly reduced the total weight of a planar antenna for NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) applications by 47% (from 5.5 kilograms […]

Wearable exoskeletons can help reduce physical strain in the workplace and protect employees from injury, but the technology has yet to achieve widespread adoption. A new study published in PLOS One by engineers at The […]

The global semiconductor market is approaching US$1 trillion in annual sales, driven by growing demand for faster computers, smarter AI systems and more powerful electronic devices. Singapore, which produces one in 10 of the world’s […]

Data keeps growing exponentially, driving demand for better memory storage solutions. Synthetic DNA is a strong candidate to answer this need, given its high information density, durability and relevance as the molecule of life.This post […]

Wrinkles or dents appearing on material surfaces are often regarded as signs of damage or deformation. In a recent collaborative review paper published in Nano-Micro Letters and titled “Harnessing Surface Instabilities for Functional Materials: Mechanics, […]

A research team led by Professor Taesung Kim of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) has developed an optoelectronic synaptic device that mimics the functions of human neurons and synapses at the […]

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have introduced an innovation in additive manufacturing by integrating origami-inspired 3D printing techniques with hybrid composites—materials made from mixed reinforcing components. […]

A tiny new chip could give cameras and sensing systems a far sharper view of the world, helping them detect subtle differences in materials and environments that standard color imaging systems cannot see.This post was […]

Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, is an important form of Japan’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) that fosters creativity, mindfulness and aesthetic sensitivity. Also known as “Kado,” or way of the flower, ikebana offers […]

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed an artificial photosynthesis system capable of producing solar fuels more stably by integrating a self-regulating chemical component directly into the electrolyzer itself. The new device doesn’t rely on […]
