Scientists have developed a new catalyst that uses 75% less platinum while delivering almost the same performance as pure platinum, potentially removing one of...

We usually think batteries wear out because we repeatedly charge and use them. But batteries spend most of their lives doing nothing, and new research...

Computer chipmakers have spent years strengthening processors against attacks that exploit the way modern CPUs predict what they will need to do next. But MIT...

Scientists have shown that sunlight can be used to create quantum entanglement, a surprising advance that could eventually help make quantum technologies more energy...

Scientists have developed a new 3D printing technique that can create soft materials programmed to either stretch or shrink when heated. The advance could eventually...

SIM cards are normally trusted parts of our phones and other connected devices. But new research shows that if a SIM card is malicious or...

Scientists in Finland have demonstrated the first fully solution-processed solid-state polariton laser, potentially opening a simpler and cheaper path toward advanced laser and photonic...

A little-known branch of engineering mathematics is moving beyond theory and finding potential uses in everything from robots and aircraft to extremely small nanotechnology...

A temperature difference of just 50°C can determine whether an ultrathin magnetic film stays smooth or begins breaking apart, according to new research that...

Engineers have developed a new way to protect tall buildings from strong winds and earthquakes by allowing some floors to move rather than trying...

Scientists have developed a new manufacturing technique that could help make high-efficiency solar panels more powerful without making them much harder or more expensive...

Researchers have developed a low-power artificial intelligence system that can identify drones while using dramatically less electricity than conventional computer-based systems. The technology could make...

A group of researchers in Brazil has developed a smart wearable device that could make walking safer and more independent for people who are...

In a remarkable advancement, chemists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a carbon-based supercapacitor material that holds four...

We rely on GPS every day, whether we are driving, tracking deliveries, or using maps on our phones. Most of the time, we trust that...

One night, UCLA doctoral student Yilin Wong left a sample out by mistake. It was a small chip made of germanium, topped with thin layers...

In a new study, researchers found a new way to detect and attack cancer cells using technology traditionally reserved for solar power. The finding showcases...
