Dialysis, in the most general sense, is the process by which molecules filter out of one solution, by diffusing through a membrane, into a more dilute solution. Outside of hemodialysis, which removes…
MIT’s Flying Car – A Drone that can both Fly and Drive
Many birds and insects have the ability to both walk and take flight If we could program robots with similar versatility, it would open up many possibilities: Imagine machines that could fly…
Solar paint offers endless energy from water vapour
Researchers have developed a solar paint that can absorb water vapour and split it to generate hydrogen – the cleanest source of energy. The paint contains a newly developed compound that acts…
Recycled tires create stronger Concrete
UBC, the University of British Columbia engineers have developed a more resilient type of concrete using recycled tires that could be used for concrete structures like buildings, roads, dams and bridges while…
MIT’s new photonic technology allows optical “deep learning”
Artificial neural networks are computational network models inspired by signal processing in the brain. These models have dramatically improved performance for many machine-learning tasks, including speech and image recognition. However, today’s computing…
