Researchers from the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and Stanford University believe that they have found a way to revive rechargeable lithium battery cells. This could increase electric car range and battery…

A robot must be able predict the actions of nearby pedestrians and cyclists if it is to safely navigate a vehicle through Boston. It is difficult to predict behavior. Current…

Photonic integrated circuits, or PICs, use photons to carry information and have high transmission speeds, low delays, and anti-electromagnetic crosstalk. These benefits are expected to address the problems with microelectronics…

Researchers made a significant step towards creating ultrafast computers. The long-standing goal of science and technology is to create electronic and information processing systems that run at the speed of…

In collaboration with Dr. Sangbaie Shin of PHI BIOMED Co., a POSTECH research team headed by Professor Sei Kwang Hain and Ph.D. candidate Geon Hui Lee (Department of Materials Science…

Scientists have created a new membrane technology to remove carbon dioxide (CO 2) more efficiently from mixed gases like power plant emissions. Rich Spontak, coauthor of the paper, said that the…

Computers transmit information through semiconductors using electron movement. The electron spin in magnetic materials is used to store the direction of the electron rotation. To shrink devices while improving their performance–a…

Glucose, a sugar that we absorb from the food we eat, is what we call glucose. It is the fuel that powers all cells in our bodies. Could glucose power…

Hand-held laser pointers do not produce any noticeable recoil forces even when they are “fired”. This is due to its large mass and the tiny recoil impulses the light particles create…

There are many methods of forming metal into the shapes required for different purposes. These include casting, machining and rolling. These processes can affect the shapes and sizes of the tiny…
