Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a new membrane water filtration system based around air bubbles that can help address water scarcity issues around the world.

In recent decades, roboticists have been developing increasingly sophisticated robots inspired by nature and living organisms. By realistically emulating biological processes and animal behaviors, these robots can often navigate ...

There's a barrier preventing the advent of truly elastic electronic systems, the kind needed for advanced human-machine interfaces, artificial skins, smart health care and more, but a Penn State-led research team may have ...

Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter device behavior or designs to improve ...

3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object and the process usually wastes a lot of material. Some novel ways to make ...

The ocean isn't just impacted by climate change—it may also be part of the solution to reversing it.

Effectively extracting valuable resources from water could go a long way toward enhancing national security while also helping the environment. Two recent studies from the lab of Prof. Menachem Elimelech offer perspectives ...

What happens to the body when a human gets heatstroke? How can we protect ourselves in a warming planet? To answer these burning questions, Arizona researchers have deployed a robot that can breathe, shiver and sweat.

OpenAI's widely celebrated large language model has been hailed as "quite simply the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public" by Kevin Roose, author of "Futureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in ...

To satisfy the growing demands of the electronics industry, engineers and material scientists are trying to continuously improve the performance of battery technologies. Lithium (Li) metal batteries, batteries with a metallic ...

A better way to wirelessly charge over long distances has been developed at Aalto University. Engineers have optimized the way antennas transmitting and receiving power interact with each other, making use of the phenomenon ...

Lithium (Li) metal batteries, batteries that contain a metallic Li-based anode, are currently used to power a wide range of electronic devices. Most of these batteries contain carbonate-based electrolytes, which are unable ...
