A new ultra-thin, transparent film, developed by researchers at UNIST can generate electrical signals solely through mechanical peeling or pressing actions. This technology paves the way for smart sensors that operate without ...

MIT researchers have developed a reconfigurable antenna that dynamically adjusts its frequency range by changing its physical shape, making it more versatile for communications and sensing than static antennas.

University of Wisconsin–Madison mechanical engineers have developed a comprehensive framework that accelerates improvements to shock-absorbing foam materials.

Researchers in China claim to have achieved a significant breakthrough in lithium battery technology, doubling the energy density (the amount of energy a battery can store relative to its size and weight) of Tesla's most ...

Scientists from Virginia Tech have discovered a way to make ice move on its own. It's not a magic trick or a supernatural occurrence but a clever engineering feat. The team designed a flat metal surface that allows ice disks ...

Yiming Zhang didn't grow up playing chess. Like many other people, the Carnegie Mellon University Ph.D. student discovered the Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit" during the pandemic and began playing online. However, he ...

Humanoid robots raced and punched their way through three days of a multi-sport competition at the World Humanoid Robot Games, wrapping up Sunday in Beijing.

Lithium metal (Li-metal) batteries are among the most promising alternatives to widely employed rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, as they could store more energy and thus extend the battery life of many electronic ...

Shifting electricity consumption to times when the grid has a greater supply from alternative energy sources could help reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly, according to a new University of Texas at Dallas study.

QUT researchers have identified a new method for incorporating copper ions into a germanium telluride thermoelectric material that significantly improves its ability to convert waste heat into electricity.

A key objective of behavioral science research is to better understand how people make decisions in situations where outcomes are unknown or uncertain, which entail a certain degree of risk.

Cornell University researchers have developed a low-power microchip they call a "microwave brain," the first processor to compute on both ultrafast data signals and wireless communication signals by harnessing the physics ...
