MIT researchers have found a simple solution to protect graphene from performance-impairing wrinkles and contaminants. Graphene is an atom-thin material that holds promise for making next-generation electronics. Researchers are exploring possibilities for…
Scientists Capture Bacteria That Eat Pollution and Breathe Electricity
A Team of Researchers from Washington State University (WSU) has found a way to capture a kind of Bacteria that can “eat” pollution by converting toxic pollutants into less harmful substances and…
Nanotechnology and sunlight clear the way for better visibility
A new coating developed by ETH researchers prevents fogging on transparent surfaces. Rather than using electricity, the coating relies on sunlight to heat the surface. Anyone who skis, wears glasses, uses a…
Securing the “internet of things” in the quantum age
MIT researchers have developed a novel cryptography circuit that can be used to protect low-power “internet of things” (IoT) devices in the coming age of quantum computing. These days, a lot of…
Engineers make Water Droplets produce iridescent colors
Engineers at MIT and Penn State University have found that under the right conditions, ordinary clear water droplets on a transparent surface can produce brilliant colors, without the addition of inks or…
