It is safe to say that 3D displays do not necessarily occur in nature – unless one considers the cephalopod, which includes the squid and octopus, as a living 3D display which can morph its structure and create complex shapes and textures for camouflage purposes or drag control. Now, a research team from the University

Berkeley Lab study finds that text mining of scientific literature can lead to new discoveries Sure, computers can be used to play grandmaster-level chess, but can they make scientific discoveries? Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have shown that an algorithm with no training in materials science can scan

To measure their vital signs, users simply place their finger lightly against the phone’s camera lens Users of the Pulse Phone app may be justifiably impressed at the way in which it lets them measure their heart rate, simply by placing their finger over their iPhone’s camera lens. Well, a biomedical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic

Cyber secure system stores energy as compressed hydrogen, generates clean power.  Integrated into power grid, system available for military, civilian uses After 16 months of development, Boeing has delivered a fuel cell energy storage system to the U.S. Navy for testing. The cell is being tested to determine its ability to support the energy needs

A recent study, led by Professor JaePhil Cho in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST has unveiled a new anode material, designed to help speed up fast charging in new electric cars with longer range. The key is to make many channels through which graphite can pass lithium ions quickly, and thinly coat

Google has been stunningly adept at devising computer algorithms to help people search the Internet. But when it comes to building features for social networking, the company has been much less effective. And changing that is one of the company’s biggest business challenges these days. Google depends on having its finger on the pulse of

Economists at the Technical University of Munich (Technische Universitaet Muenchen, TUM) have developed a website that predicts individual stock trends. To this end, economists are using automatic text analysis methods to evaluate thousands of daily Twitter microblog messages, so-called “tweets.” On www.TweetTrader.net, current forecasts are available for all S&P 500 listed stocks. The share price

Using the body’s cells and letting the body itself do most of the work Andemariam Beyene sat by the hospital window, the low Arctic sun on his face, and talked about the time he thought he would die. Two and a half years ago doctors in Iceland, where Mr. Beyene was studying to be an

By stacking and connecting layers of stretchable circuits on top of one another, engineers have developed an approach to build soft, pliable “3D stretchable electronics” that can pack a lot of functions while staying thin and small in size. The work is published in the Aug. 13 issue of Nature Electronics. As a proof of
