KIMM develops seawater-based self-charging energy harvester. Newly developed energy harvester, which is capable of generating 4.2 times more electrical power compared with existing devices, is expected to be used for small-sized equipment such as devices for monitoring ocean environments
University of Washington researchers have developed a flexible, durable electronic prototype that can harvest energy from body heat and turn it into electricity that can be used to power small electronics, such as batteries, sensors or LEDs. This device is also resilient — it still functions even after being pierced several times and then stretched 2,000 times.
With the ever-increasing use of wireless communication technologies and cellular networks, radio frequency (RF) based attacks such as “spoofing” have become a significant concern due to the privacy and security risks in both military and civilian communication networks. Dr. Chaity Banerjee Mukherjee, an assistant professor at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System, has won a $1 million Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) grant to develop frameworks for artificial neural networks that will help combat these attacks.
Cal Poly Humboldt Forestry Professor Jeff Kane is leading a project funded by the USDA Forest Service in collaboration with Ecologist, Kyle Merriam, to reestablish Baker Cypress in areas where it was nearly extirpated by the 2021 Dixie Fire, with significant involvement from students.
After nearly a decade of preparation, scientists – including researchers from Rutgers University – have turned on a new apparatus capable of detecting a host of mysterious tiny particles. Researchers working on the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Ill., have started up the new machine and begun detecting the neutrinos produced by Fermilab’s particle accelerator beams.
The research aims to assess changes in surface fuels, tree mortality, regeneration, and the general health of secondary redwood forests.
Scientists from Jefferson Lab, Old Dominion University and the University of Virginia recently conducted a study that compares deep learning models of street-scale flooding in the City of Norfolk with previous machine learning and physics-based simulations.
Predators not native to Madagascar, such as feral dogs and cats, may pose a serious threat to lemur species—many of which are already facing extinction on this African island.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology found that older adults learned a memory task best after practicing multiple related tasks, suggesting that diverse cognitive training supports mental sharpness as we age.
Wildfires continue to rage in parts of California and Nevada forcing mandatory evacuations for homes nearby. ...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the selection of 91 early career scientists from across the country who will receive a combined $138 million in funding for research covering a wide range of topics including artificial intelligence, fusion energy, and quantum.
Scientists report that underwater noise pollution — from both large and small vessels — forces northern and southern resident orcas to expend more time and energy hunting for fish. The din also lowers the overall success of their hunting efforts. Noise from ships likely has an outsized impact on southern resident orca pods, which spend more time in areas with high ship traffic.
NYU Tandon School of Engineering is spearheading a novel initiative aimed at expanding access to semiconductor design education, supporting key objectives of the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act and bolstering NYU's growing prominence in chip design.
Argonne’s entrepreneurship program embeds early-stage startup founders for two years at the lab. They are mentored by a lab scientist. In addition, the program also provides support at the local, regional and national levels including entrepreneurship training and a networking ecosystem to eliminate the hurdles traditionally faced by early-stage cleantech startups.
Appalachian State University has chosen Figshare as its new institutional repository platform to share, showcase and manage its research outputs.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Highlights provides a glimpse into recent basic, translational and clinical cancer research from MD Anderson experts.
Professor Juejun Hu was admitted by Tsinghua University as top scorer in the science college entrance examination of Fujian Province.
A real-time adaptive optics system was developed, characterised and applied to measure the 3D flow field through an oscillating surface of a water drop on an opaque Gas Diffusion Layer. A case study shows that the system corrects successfully measurement errors of the flow field that are caused by the refraction of light at the time-varying water-air interface.
Giulia Galli has been awarded the prestigious Hirschfelder Prize in Theoretical Chemistry. She is being recognized for her groundbreaking work in developing computational methods to predict and design material properties.
