New composite has potential applications in boat flooring, automobile parts, and buoyancy modules as well as vehicle armor
Micro-engineered battery architectures, combined with high energy material such as tin, offer exciting new battery features
University of Texas at El Paso researchers' work challenges the theory that feeder cells provide nutrients to growing stem cells.
4-D printing is unfolding as technology that takes 3-D printing to an entirely new level
Anti-GMO messages strongly appeal to particular intuitions and emotions
A research team led by Shree K. Nayar, T.C. Chang Professor of Computer Science at Columbia Engineering, has invented a prototype video camera that is the first to be fully self-powered—it can produce an image each second, indefinitely, of a well-lit indoor scene. They designed a pixel that can not only measure incident light but also convert the incident light into electric power. The team is presenting its work at the International Conference on Computational Photography at Rice University in Houston, April 24 to 26.
Work could lead to better medical sprays that are more effective and deliver more types of drugs.
