| Lab makes 4D printing more practical Posted: 09 Jun 2020 10:00 AM PDT Soft robots and biomedical implants that reconfigure themselves upon demand are closer to reality with a method to print shapeshifting materials. |
| Armor on butterfly wings protects against heavy rain Posted: 09 Jun 2020 09:29 AM PDT An analysis of high-speed raindrops hitting biological surfaces such as feathers, plant leaves and insect wings reveals how these highly water-repelling veneers reduce the water's impact. |
| Presence of airborne dust could signify increased habitability of distant planets Posted: 09 Jun 2020 08:11 AM PDT Scientists have expanded our understanding of potentially habitable planets orbiting distant stars by including a critical climate component -- the presence of airborne dust. |
| Entire Roman city revealed without any digging Posted: 08 Jun 2020 04:25 PM PDT For the first time, archaeologists have succeeded in mapping a complete Roman city, Falerii Novi in Italy, using advanced ground penetrating radar (GPR), allowing them to reveal astonishing details while it remains deep underground. The technology could revolutionize our understanding of ancient settlements. |
| Engineers put tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses on a single chip Posted: 08 Jun 2020 10:25 AM PDT Engineers have designed a 'brain-on-a-chip,' smaller than a piece of confetti, that is made from tens of thousands of artificial brain synapses known as memristors -- silicon-based components that mimic the information-transmitting synapses in the human brain. |
| 3D-printable material that mimics biological tissues Posted: 08 Jun 2020 06:29 AM PDT Researchers have 3D printed a complex, porous lattice structure using liquid crystal elastomers creating devices that can mimic cartilage and other biological tissues. |
