Tiny, battery-free ID chip can authenticate nearly any product to help combat losses to counterfeiting.
MIT researchers have invented a cryptographic ID tag that’s small enough to fit on virtually any product and verify its authenticity. It will be very useful to combat supply chain counterfeiting, which…
Pill-sized Lithium Heater for DIY Diagnostic kits
Researchers at the University of Toronto Engineering have developed a ‘heater’ — about the size of a pill tablet — that regulates the temperature of biological samples through the different stages of…
Terahertz camera uses laser light patterns to ‘see inside’ objects
A team of physicists at the University of Sussex has successfully developed the first nonlinear camera capable of capturing high-resolution images of the interior of solid objects using terahertz (THz) radiation. The…
New Green Technology Generates Electricity ‘Out of Thin Air’
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a device that uses a natural protein to create electricity from moisture in the air. This new technology could have significant implications for…
