Whether writers will be replaced by AI-generated text or not, programs like Grammarly that suggest language improvements are gaining in popularity. As marketing and communications take place predominantly online, emails and chat bots are…

Mending damaged tissues and creating new ones is the goal of regenerative medicine including designing customized replacement organs that won’t be rejected by the body’s immune system. Now, in research published recently in the journal…

Between a quarter and a half million Americans who can’t speak sign, and the majority of them use American Sign Language. Recently, UCLA bioengineers have designed a glove-like device that can translate American Sign Language into English…

TMD monolayers are part of the building blocks for smaller, cheaper, and more efficient transistors, solar cells, LEDs, photodetectors, fuel cells, photocatalytic and sensing devices. Recently, a team led by the Department of Energy's Oak…

First proposed in 2008, spin-gapless semiconductors offer both ultrafast and ultra-low energy electrical conduction. Now, a University of Wollongong team has published an extensive review of spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs), a new class…

Real-time transfer of news and information and fast speeds that can deliver high-quality video content means our need for bandwidth continues to increase. Recently, scientists at Linköping University, Sweden have developed a new molecule…

Optoelectronics, the devices that detect, create, and manipulate various forms of light from visible light to X-rays, gamma rays, infrared, and ultraviolet light, are already in use  for military services, telecommunications, automatic…

As electric vehicles continue to gain consumer acceptance, the need for better batteries to power them grows. Scientists at Stanford University are hoping a new lithium-based electrolyte they’ve invented could pave the way for the next…

As we continue to embrace the cloud, our need for data centers that can host mission critical systems has never been greater. Now, a new technique that synchronizes the clocks of computers in under a billionth of a second can eliminate one…

SpaceX’s rocket reusability program was first announced in 2011, with a successful landing and recovery of a first stage in December 2015. Recently, the rocket reusability dream appears to be within reach for the first time ever, after…

The advantages of solid composite polymer electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries are numerous: low flammability, good flexibility, extreme thermal stability and greater safety than liquid electrolytes. Recently a team of Brown University…

The short wings required for rapid flight are not as useful when a drone reaches its destination and needs to hover. But soon, the U.S. Army will be able to deploy autonomous air vehicles that can change shape during flight, according to…

Terahertz lasers can be used to detect explosives and chemical warfare agents or to evaluate plasma densities. Emitting radiation that sits somewhere between microwaves and infrared light along the electromagnetic spectrum, terahertz lasers…

Potential applications for bismuth ferrite, or BFO, include solar cells and photovoltaic applications like photoferroelectric memories, photocatalytic reactors, and photostrictive devices. Ferroelectric oxide perovskites are chemically and…

Pulsars, the radiation pulses emitted by rotating neutron stars at very regular intervals, have very strong magnetic fields that funnel jets of particles out along the two magnetic poles to produce very powerful beams of light. When Jocelyn…
