Egyptologists have never been bold enough to open the mummy of Pharaoh Amenhotep I. In fact, the perfectly wrapped mummy remained undisturbed until now. Scientists from Egypt used three-dimensional CT scanning to 'digitally unwrap' the…

3M research scientists teach Ansys Learning Hub courses. These classes help engineers develop innovative designs using tapes and adhesives, eliminating material waste. Ansys and 3M advanced simulation training programs enhance product…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is on its way, completing the intricate process of unfolding as it travels. The telescope’s sun shield and primary mirror were folded origami-style to fit into the Ariane rocket, its taxi into space. The…

TDK Corporation announced that its subsidiary TDK Ventures, Inc. invested in scalable driverless transportation startup company, Faction. Their goal is to expedite the development of a low-cost sustainable solution to urban delivery and…

It surprises me, but people ask for important things via email or text when at work. However, a new Cornell University research says that asking in person for help maximizes one's chance of getting a "yes." Can't ask in person? Then opt for…

For the first time, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) measured the volume of individual droplets <100 trillionths of a liter with an uncertainty of <1%, a tenfold improvement. Measuring the volume, motion,…

MIT Researchers developed a weavable, rechargeable ultra-long fiber lithium-ion battery that may have a future in making 3D-printed batteries in any shape. The world’s longest flexible fiber battery, 140 meters long, was built to…

An international team of scientists used 3D printing and microscopy to glimpse what happens when taking magnets to three dimensions on the nanoscale, 1000x smaller than a human hair. Led by Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, they…

High-precision measurements provide important clues about processes that impair superconductor efficiency.  Superconductivity depends on the presence of electrons bound together in a Cooper pair. Two electrons become coupled because of…

People often take New Year's predictions with a grain of salt. And, in some cases, that's wise. HOWEVER, the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS) is showing us its scorecard for 2021 Technology Predictions. Their score? A collective grade of B-…

A team of astrophysicists suggests that all black holes were created instantly after the Big Bang and account for all dark matter. Researchers from the University of Miami, Yale University, and the European Space Agency believe black holes…

Sometimes making the parts necessary for green technologies can have dire effects on human wellbeing. The cobalt used in lithium-ion batteries in Africa's Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a good example. Researchers led by…

STMicroelectronics introduced its third generation of STPOWER silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, advancing power devices for electric-vehicle (EV) powertrains and other applications where power density, energy efficiency, and reliability are…

NortonLifeLock set out its top predictions for cyber trends in 2022, including new momentum in cyberactivism, scammers capitalizing on natural disasters, the demise of online tracking, the rise of cryptocurrency scams—and a lot more.…

According to The Conference Board of Canada research, Canadian businesses do not plan to change their supply chain designs based on pandemic-induced supply chain issues. The research shows that they aren't feeling the pressure that the…
