The world’s first machine that can cool air by flexing artificial muscles

Posted on by Haptic

A new type of energy efficient, ecologically sustainable cooling technology that does not require the use of climate-damaging refrigerants is currently being developed by Professor Stefan Seelecke and his team at Saarland University. The new technology makes use of shape-memory materials that are also known as ‘artificial muscles’. These materials are able to transport heat Read more about The world’s first machine that can cool air by flexing artificial muscles[…]

Enabling a new technology for modern glass design

Posted on by Haptic

Curved glass façades can be stunningly beautiful, but traditional construction methods are extremely expensive. Panes are usually made with “hot bending”, where glass is heated and formed using a mold or specialized machines, an energy-intensive process that generates excess waste in the form of individual molds. Cold-bent glass is a cheaper alternative in which flat Read more about Enabling a new technology for modern glass design[…]

Spray-applied antennas could play an enabling role in the development of IoT technology

Posted on by Haptic

New antennas so thin that they can be sprayed into place are also robust enough to provide a strong signal at bandwidths that will be used by fifth-generation (5G) mobile devices. Performance results for the antennas, which are made from a new type of two-dimensional material called MXene, were recently reported by researchers at Drexel Read more about Spray-applied antennas could play an enabling role in the development of IoT technology[…]

New technology is crucial for astronomy

Federal funding of new technology is crucial for astronomy, according to results of a study released Sept. 21 in the Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments and Systems. The study tracked the long-term impact of early seed funding obtained from the National Science Foundation. Many of the key advances in astronomy over the past three decades benefited directly or Read more about New technology is crucial for astronomy[…]

The world’s smallest ultrasound detector

Posted on by Haptic

Researchers at Helmholtz Zentrum München and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed the world’s smallest ultrasound detector. It is based on miniaturized photonic circuits on top of a silicon chip. With a size 100 times smaller than an average human hair, the new detector can visualize features that are much smaller than previously Read more about The world’s smallest ultrasound detector[…]

A self-powered paper-based electronic device is demonstrated

Posted on by Haptic

Innovators from Purdue University hope their new technology can help transform paper sheets from a notebook into a music player interface and make food packaging interactive. Purdue engineers developed a simple printing process that renders any paper or cardboard packaging into a keyboard, keypad or other easy-to-use human-machine interfaces. This technology is published in the Read more about A self-powered paper-based electronic device is demonstrated[…]
