CSAIL robot disinfects Greater Boston Food Bank in half an hour using UV-C light
Chemical cleaning products are effective against the spreading of COVID-19, but using them to disinfect larger settings can be expensive, dangerous, and time-consuming. Across the globe there are thousands of warehouses, grocery…
Scientists see surprisingly strong light, high heat from nanogaps between plasmonic electrodes
Physicists see surprisingly strong light, high heat from nanogaps between plasmonic electrodes. Seeing light emerge from a nanoscale experiment didn’t come as a big surprise to Rice University physicists. But it got…
The first cartilage-mimicking gel that’s strong enough for knees
Duke researchers have developed the first gel-based synthetic cartilage with the strength of the real thing. A quarter-sized disc of the material can withstand the weight of a 100-pound kettlebell without tearing…
Researchers print, tune graphene sensors to monitor food freshness, safety
Researchers are using aerosol-jet-printing technology to create graphene biosensors that can detect histamine, an allergen and indicator of spoiled fish and meat. The sensors were printed with high-resolution aerosol jet printers on…
