The team’s research linked two scientific advances. Comic book hero superpowers may be one step closer to reality after the latest technological feats made by researchers at UT Dallas. They have designed an imager chip that could turn mobile phones into devices that can see through walls, wood, plastics, paper and other objects. The team’s

The demonstration of two silicon quantum bits communicating across relatively long distances is a turning point for the technology. A team at Princeton University has demonstrated that two Quantum Computing components, known as silicon “spin”  qubits, can interact even when spaced relatively far apart on a computer chip. “The ability to transmit messages across this

A breakthrough in finding the mechanism and a possible therapeutic fix for autism and intellectual disability has been made by a University of Nebraska Medical Center researcher and his team at the Munroe-Meyer Institute (MMI). Woo-Yang Kim, Ph.D., associate professor, developmental neuroscience, led a team of researchers from UNMC and Creighton University into a deeper

Engineered tissues and organs have been grown with various degrees of success in labs for many years. Many of them have used a scaffolding approach where cells are seeded onto biodegradable supportive structures that provide the underlying architecture of the organ or tissue desired. But scaffolds can be problematic — ultimately, they should degrade and

Automobile owners around the world may some day soon be driving on tires that are partly made out of trees – which could cost less, perform better and save on fuel and energy.

New biomaterial developed by U of T engineering researchers could be delivered through minimally invasive surgery A team of U of T engineering researchers is mending broken hearts with an expanding tissue bandage a little smaller than a postage stamp. Repairing heart tissue destroyed by a heart attack or medical condition with regenerative cells or

Instead of looking for a helping hand, how about a helping robot? MIT Professor Julie Shah claims the factory floor of the future may be full of robots and humans working side by side, each helping the other in common tasks, according to MIT News. Shah, who heads the Interactive Robotics Group in MIT’s Computer

Founded in 2011, Rahtmobile is on a mission to perfect and make available “a vehicle that delivers an incredible rush AND an ecological benefit at the same time.” Since the company’s signature product —the hybrid electric-and cycle-powered Raht Racer—was recently named a finalist in the 2015 Clean Energy Trust Challenge and can now achieve a

A simple pressure pump, made from balloons and nylon stockings, means more people in more places will be able to test water contaminants and blood samples. The ingenious device unveiled in the prestigious Lab on a Chip journal cost just $2 to make, yet works almost as well as its expensive and cumbersome lab counterparts. Pumps are
