Scientists find a better way to detect prediabetes

In a new study, researchers have developed a patch of needles connected to a paper sensor for diagnosing conditions such as prediabetes. Luckily, this patch...

New photon device offers ‘x-ray vision’ through fog

Using a new algorithm, researchers have reconstructed the movements of individual particles of light to see through clouds, fog, and other obstructions. It’s like a...

Scientists find way to see through clouds and fog

Like a comic book come to life, researchers at Stanford University have developed a kind of X-ray vision - only without the X-rays. Working with...

New glove-like wearable device could mimic sense of touch

Engineers have invented a soft wearable device which simulates the sense of touch and has wide potential for medical, industrial and entertainment applications. What if...

This tiny instrument could measure the faintest magnetic fields

Physicists at the University of Basel have developed a minuscule instrument able to detect extremely faint magnetic fields. At the heart of the superconducting quantum...

Inexpensive laser cutter could create new wave of bioelectronics

On a simple coffee table sits an inexpensive commercial laser cutter, usually meant for modifying wood or plastic. However, in the lab of University of...

Scientists create flexible, printed coil for stringed instruments

The wires inside an electric guitar to help produce quality sound can stretch for miles – even the length of a university campus. The copper...

Scientists solve decades-old mystery of lithium-ion battery

For years, researchers have aimed to learn more about a group of metal oxides that show promise as key materials for the next generation...

New electronic skin can react to pain like human skin

Researchers have developed electronic artificial skin that reacts to pain just like real skin, opening the way to better prosthetics, smarter robotics and non-invasive...

Scientists develop new self-healing materials

Army and Texas A&M University researchers developed a new material that can autonomously heal in air and underwater. The first-of-its-kind, 3-D printable and stimuli-responsive polymeric...
