New terahertz device could strengthen security

Researchers created a compact terahertz radiation source that operates at room temperature We are all familiar with the hassles that accompany air travel. We shuffle through long lines, remove our shoes, and carry liquids in regulation-sized tubes. And even after all the effort, we still wonder if these procedures are making us any safer. Now

Antioxidant Biomaterial Promotes Healing

When a foreign material like a medical device or surgical implant is put inside the human body, the body always responds. According to Northwestern’s Guillermo Ameer, most of the time, that response can be negative and affect the device’s function. “You will always get an inflammatory response to some degree,” said Ameer, professor of biomedical engineering

Taking the lead out of a promising solar cell

Environmentally friendly solar cell pushes forward the ‘next big thing in photovoltaics’ Northwestern University researchers are the first to develop a new solar cell with good efficiency that uses tin instead of lead perovskite as the harvester of light. The low-cost, environmentally friendly solar cell can be made easily using “bench” chemistry — no fancy

Using crowdsourcing to solve complex problems

Crowdsourcing systems ease challenges in conference and trip planning If two minds are better than one, what could thousands of minds accomplish? The possibilities are endless — if researchers can learn to effectively harness and utilize all that knowledge. Northwestern University professor Haoqi Zhang designs new forms of crowd-supported, mixed-initiative systems that tightly integrate crowd

Northwestern Researchers Create “Rubber-Band Electronics”

Current electronics are too rigid For people with heart conditions and other ailments that require monitoring, life can be complicated by constant hospital visits and time-consuming tests. But what if much of the testing done at hospitals could be conducted in the patient’s home, office, or car? Scientists foresee a time when medical monitoring devices are
