Global threats such as terrorism, pandemics, financial meltdown,

Prototype mobile devices that can change shape on-demand will be unveiled today [Monday 29 April] and could lay down the foundation for creating high shape resolution devices of the future. The research paper, to be presented at one of the world’s most important conferences on human-computer interfaces, will introduce the term ‘shape resolution’ and its

DALIAN, Liaoning – Government incentives are important to pave a low-carbon road for economic growth, and the corporate sector should be the main player through technological improvement, said officials and industry insiders at the World Economic Forum in Dalian. “The most important thing is to have the right direction,” said Gao Jifan, chairman and CEO

Autonomously growing synthetic DNA strands Synthetic biologists and nanobiologists are re-purposing DNA, the hereditary material present in nearly all the body’s cells, as a smart and stable self-assembling material to build nanofactories, drug-delivering nanostructures and molecular devices that can sense their environment and respond in different ways by, for example, detecting inflammation in the body

The future of our cities: Engineers test resilient, intelligent infrastructure Like many of today’s household devices, modern infrastructure is gaining the ability to collect and exchange valuable data using wireless devices that monitor the health of buildings and bridges, for example, in real time. But wireless systems for underground infrastructure, such as utility pipelines, are
