A 3D printed starter kit for coral reef regeneration

Natural disasters such as hurricanes often leave devastation in their wake. Residents living in affected areas are sometimes displaced or require temporary shelter while their homes — or even neighborhoods — are repaired or rebuilt. But what if you are a fish and your home is a coral reef? Researchers across the globe are searching

Creating sensations of softness for haptic interfaces

Material design tricks and equations could one day help researchers recreate different sensations of softness for haptic interfaces What factors affect how human touch perceives softness, like the feel of pressing your fingertip against a marshmallow, a piece of clay or a rubber ball? By exploring this question in detail, a team of engineers and

New technology makes fuel cells more powerful, more durable, less expensive

One of the most promising clean energy technologies just got even better. Researchers from the University of Delaware have developed the most powerful, durable hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell components on record, which they recently described in the journal Nature Energy. The key ingredient? Membranes made from poly(aryl piperidinium) polymers. Fuel cells work by converting
