Significantly extending Wi-Fi range without needing new hardware

Protocol doesn’t require new hardware; works with existing devices A group of researchers led by a BYU computer engineering professor has created a protocol that significantly extends the distance a Wi-Fi-enabled device can send and receive signals. The engineering innovation requires no new hardware to enhance the signal range for “internet of things” devices, like

Could crops now grow in salt-damaged soil?

A group of BYU researchers may have found a way to reverse falling crop yields caused by increasingly salty farmlands throughout the world. Led by Brent Nielsen, professor of microbiology and molecular biology, the BYU scientists have used bacteria found in the roots of salt-tolerant plants to successfully inoculate alfalfa plants against overly salty soil. “We

Real science has finally caught up to the science fiction of Iron Man’s transforming exoskeleton suit

BYU researchers unfold new class of mechanical devices In a paper published today in Science Robotics, engineers at Brigham Young University detail new technology that allows them to build complex mechanisms into the exterior of a structure without taking up any actual space below the surface. This new class of mechanisms, called “developable mechanisms,” get their

3D image projection could make the images of science fiction

Research in Nature outlines method to make the images of science fiction In the original Star Wars film, R2D2 projects an image of Princess Leia in distress. The iconic scene includes the line still famous 40 years later: “Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.” BYU electrical and computer engineering professor and holography

Giving artificial intelligence context clues using Wikipedia

Walk into a room, see a chair, and your brain will tell you that you can sit in it, tip it over or lift it up, but you wouldn’t even consider drinking it, promoting it or unlocking it. As humans, explains BYU computer science professor David Wingate, we know intuitively that certain verbs pair naturally

Portable mass spectrometry will enable lots of applications that you just can’t do right now

BYU researchers have created a miniaturized, portable version of a tool now capable of analyzing Mars’ atmosphere — and that’s just one of its myriad possible uses. For decades mass spectrometers have offered a relatively fast and highly sensitive way to analyze and detect chemical compounds. But their bulky size has been a hindrance, limiting their

First 3D printed truly microfluidic lab-on-a-chip device

Previous researchers have used 3D printers to make microfluidics, but not on this scale Researchers at BYU are the first to 3D-print a viable microfluidic device small enough to be effective at a scale much less than 100 micrometers. Microfluidic devices are tiny chips that can sort out disease biomarkers, cells and other small structures

Newly developed materials can be combined to make strong, lightweight and corrosion-free metals

Interdisciplinary team cracks code to produce Mother Nature’s dictionary of atomic structures It may not be as catchy as chains and weak links, but physicists and engineers know “a material is only as strong as its weakest grain boundary.” OK, that’s not catchy at all, but here’s the point: grain boundaries are a big deal.

Targeted sound vibrations known as time reversal has vast potential

Researchers’ acoustic technique has implications for medical, military and private communication applications. A crowd of 29 stands still, positioned as lookouts in various directions. A chirp punctuates the silence before being replaced by a distinct buzz. The buzzing grows louder, then abruptly drops back into silence. Twenty-eight Lego figurines shift slightly — they survive. But one

Lab-on-a-chip optical analysis and manipulation can detect cancer genomic biomarkers and more

Technique enables development of viable diagnostic tests and instruments in fight against cancer Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., making early, reliable diagnosis and treatment a priority for researchers. Genomic biomarkers offer great potential for diagnostics and new forms of treatment, such as immunotherapy. Miniaturized lab-on-chip approaches are prime candidates
