New single-shot 10-trillion fps compressed ultrafast photography (T-CUP) technique captures any event with 100 femtoseconds frame intervals. It can be used to study interactions between matter and light at an unprecedented temporal resolution. The...
The non-explosive lithium-ion battery is inspired by an interesting behavior of unique liquids that turn solid on sudden impact. They are made by dispersing spherical silica particles in battery liquid, which block the flow of ions on impact. The...
BMW has been working on a self-riding motorcycle prototype for more than 2 years. It can go from one stop to another, lean into turns and apply breaks all by itself. It will still take years before we see these bikes on open roads. The risk of an...
New double-layer solar cells use photoactive materials to harvest a wider solar spectrum. It sets a new record of converting 22.4% of the sunlight into electrical energy. The double layer solar cell sits on a two-millimeter thick glass substrate...
The atomic-scale transistor made of a silver atom is approximately 1 nanometer in size. It consumes extremely low voltage of the order of 10 mV. This 3-terminal switch can work at room temperature – a big plus point for future applications...
Engineers designed a new device that could be connected to a low-powered PC/laptop to process large graphs. It could handle massive graphs with up to 4 billion nodes and 128 billion edges. Tech companies could use this device to decrease energy...
Road bikes are known for their comfortable ride on asphalt and cobblestone, incredible load-caring ability, and on-road racing. These lighter and environment-friendly means of transportation keep you in shape. The key materials that distinguish road...
Dactyl learns to solve the object reorientation task through simulations, without requiring any human intervention. It can analyze fingertips’ coordinates and images from 3 conventional RGB cameras. They used MuJoCo physics engine to measure...
Researchers develop a new organic molecule that offers the high-performance, longest-lasting organic flow battery so far. It has tens of thousands of charge-discharge cycles with a degradation rate of 3% per year. Fossil Fuels are polluting our...
Researches found a new material that could make solar cells non-toxic and inexpensive. The new material is built by combining the atoms of copper, selenium, and titanium into a unique crystal structure. Solar cells, often called photovoltaic cells...
The most powerful UV light disinfection robot, named IPT 3200 can clean an entire room within 15 minutes. It’s based on Field Balance, PowerBoost and SmartDosage UV technologies. After 6 months of its deployment, the McLaren Oakland hospital...
Researchers develop a new technique to make optical microscope more accurate while imaging nanoparticles. They put an optical microscope under a microscope to achieve precision with high accuracy. Optical microscopes are one of the simplest and...
