Tech Xplore / Novel material design enables pure-red perovskite LEDs with record-breaking performance
A team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has resolved a critical challenge in pure-red perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) by identifying and addressing ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers build next-gen swarm robots using simple linked particles
A joint research team from Seoul National University and Harvard University has developed a next-generation swarm robot system inspired by nature—capable of movement, exploration, transport, and cooperation, all without ...
Tech Xplore / Record-setting lithium-ion conductors: Researchers develop new material for solid-state batteries
Researchers at TUM and TUMint.Energy Research have taken a significant step towards improving solid-state batteries. They developed a new material made of lithium, antimony and scandium that conducts lithium ions more than ...
Tech Xplore / Urine-powered electrolysis systems offer energy-efficient green hydrogen production
Researchers have developed two unique energy-efficient and cost-effective systems that use urea found in urine and wastewater to generate hydrogen.
Tech Xplore / Ping pong robot returns shots with high-speed precision
MIT engineers are getting in on the robotic ping pong game with a powerful, lightweight design that returns shots with high-speed precision.
Tech Xplore / No brain, no problem: This soft robot 'thinks' with its legs
A research team from AMOLF in Amsterdam has created a soft robot that walks, hops, and swims—all without a brain, electronics, or AI. Just soft tubes, air, and some clever physics.
Dialog / Wearable haptics get thinner: A flexible haptic patch lets you feel the virtual world
As virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies rapidly evolve, the demand for more immersive, multisensory experiences grows alongside them. Among the key frontiers is tactile feedback—the ability to physically ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny vibrations have a massive impact: Transmitting clear signals over long distances using nonlinear math
A team of researchers at Nagoya University has discovered something surprising. If you have two tiny vibrating elements, each one barely moving on its own, and you combine them in the right way, their combined vibration can ...
Tech Xplore / An eco-friendly aquatic robot made from fish food holds promise for environmental monitoring
An edible robot made by EPFL scientists leverages a combination of biodegradable fuel and surface tension to zip around the water's surface, creating a safe and nutritious alternative to environmental monitoring devices made ...
Tech Xplore / AI model translates text commands into motion for diverse robots and avatars
Brown University researchers have developed an artificial intelligence model that can generate movement in robots and animated figures in much the same way that AI models like ChatGPT generate text.
Tech Xplore / Simple changes in brick kilns cut emissions and improve air quality in Bangladesh
Brick manufacturing is a central component of the economy in South Asia, but also a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, as the practice releases carbon dioxide (CO2), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ...
Tech Xplore / Shape-shifting joints could transform wearable devices and robotic movement
It's easy to take joint mobility for granted. Without thinking, it's simple enough to turn the pages of a book or bend to stretch out a sore muscle. Designers don't have the same luxury. When building a joint, be it for a ...
