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…
NUS engineers devise novel approach to wirelessly power multiple wearable devices using a single source.
Advancements in wearable technology are reshaping the way we live, work and play, and also how healthcare is delivered and received. Wearables that have weaved their way into everyday life include smart…
A technique for labeling and retrieving DNA data files from a large pool could help make DNA data storage feasible.
MIT biological engineers have demonstrated a way to easily retrieve data files stored as DNA. This could be a step toward using DNA archives to store enormous quantities of photos, images, and…
