Tiny Motors Make a Huge Step Forward: First Solid-State Optical Nanomotor
Motors are everywhere in our daily lives, from cars to washing machines. Even though we don’t often notice them, they are everywhere. Future-oriented science is working to develop tiny motors that could power nanomachines and replace the current power sources used in electronic devices. The first solid-state optical nanomotor was created by researchers at The […]
Engineers at MIT Find a Way to Save Energy and Make Water Boil Better
Systems used in many industries could benefit from new surface treatments. A wide variety of industrial processes include most electricity generation plants. Many chemical production systems and cooling systems for electronics all have a crucial step that involves the boiling of water. They could reduce their energy consumption by increasing the efficiency of heat- and […]
Stanford-developed Millirobot Swims in your Body and Delivers Medicine To Places
These tiny robots could make it easier to deliver precision medicine with health care. If you have tried to treat everything with the same round tablet, you will know that medication isn’t always designed to target particular pain areas. Many illnesses can be treated with over-the-counter medications for years. However, biomedical scientists are now looking […]
A Beginner’s Guide To Quantum Programming
Quantum computer programmers will be left wondering how to get started as quantum computers become more common and easier to use. This guide is a comprehensive introduction to quantum algorithms and how they can be implemented on existing hardware. Writing quantum algorithms is very different to writing traditional computing programs. It requires a deep understanding […]
Future Cities could be built out of algae-produced material.
Scientists hope to use algal-grown limestone for the construction of cities. The 7% annual greenhouse gas emissions caused by cement manufacturing worldwide are largely due to burning limestone quarries. The University of Colorado, Boulder, discovered a way to use microalgae to absorb carbon dioxide from the air. This makes cement production carbon-neutral or even carbon negative. […]
New Technology Gives AI Human-Like Eyes
Researchers claim that the UCF-designed device can be made faster by combining the three processes. The technology is compact, with hundreds of devices fitting onto a chip measuring one inch in width. Tania Roy (principal study investigator and assistant professor at UCF’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering and NanoScience Technology Center) says that “it […]
For cheap power quality improvement, turn buildings into batteries.
Scientists suggest that tall buildings could be converted into batteries. Due to the substantial decline in the price of renewable energy sources like wind and solar, energy storage technologies are more important to ensure electricity supply and demand are balanced. A new energy storage idea by International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis researchers could improve the electricity […]
Five Tips For Success In The Technology Sector
