Virtual reality and prosthetics are advancing rapidly thanks to technological innovations, but both are still missing one key element—a sense of touch, also known as haptic feedback.This post was originally published on this site

Because it’s costly and cumbersome to transport large structures such as satellite dishes into space, aerospace Ph.D. student Ivan Wu and his advisor, Jeff Baur, at The Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, […]

Weather forecasting is notoriously wonky—climate modeling even more so. But their slowly increasing ability to predict what the natural world will throw at us humans is largely thanks to two things—better models and increased computing […]

From translating thoughts into words to allowing paralyzed people to walk, the field of neurotechnology has been quietly surging ahead, raising hopes of medical breakthroughs—and profound ethical concerns.This post was originally published on this site

Concrete 3D printing reduces both time and cost by eliminating traditional formwork, the temporary mold for casting. Yet most of today’s systems rely on extrusion-based methods, which deposit material very close to a nozzle layer […]

Bacterial spores—the hardy survival structures formed by certain bacterial species—are proving to be a game changer in the field of engineered living materials (ELMs). By embedding Bacillus spores within ELMs, Jeong-Joo Oh, Franka van der […]

Car enthusiasts will pay hundreds of dollars for stereo systems that will improve the sound quality in their cars. However, the inherent directionality of speakers and complex shapes of car cabins can exacerbate sound disparities […]

Existing 3D scene reconstructions require a cumbersome process of precisely measuring physical spaces with LiDAR or 3D scanners, or correcting thousands of photos along with camera pose information. A research team at KAIST has overcome […]

When scientists make the thin metal films used in electronics, optics, and quantum technologies, they usually spend months tinkering with the temperature, composition and timing of the process, hoping to land on just the right […]

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are promising rechargeable batteries in which conventional liquid electrolytes are replaced with solid materials. These batteries could help to safely meet the growing demands of the electronics industry, as they can exhibit […]
