Scientists create “Thermal switches” using Graphene Foam to dynamically moderate the heat of electronic devices
Performance of the Electronic devices that use Lithium-ion batteries will start to degrade in extreme Heat or Cold conditions. Electric Cars also face this problem. Researchers from Purdue University have found a…
MIT’s Inflatable robotic hand gives amputees real-time tactile control
An MIT-developed inflatable robotic hand gives amputees real-time tactile control. The smart hand is soft and elastic, weighs about half a pound, and costs a fraction of comparable prosthetics. Currently, most of…
Scientists Have Developed a Simple Way to Desalinate Water Using Solar Energy and is 400% More Efficient
Power engineers from Ural Federal University (UrFU), Russia, have developed a new desalination technology. The new technology will significantly reduce the cost of desalination and quadruple the volume of production. The results…
Unlocking radiation-free quantum technology with graphene
“Heavy fermions” are an appealing theoretical way to produce quantum entangled phenomena, but until recently have been observed mostly in dangerously radioactive compounds. A new paper shows it is possible to make…
