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

A prosthetic arm that can sense touch and move with your thoughts

UNIVERSITY OF UTAH ENGINEERS HELP DEVELOP MOTORIZED PROSTHETIC ARM THAT CAN SENSE TOUCH, MOVE WITH YOUR THOUGHTS Keven Walgamott had a good “feeling” about picking up the egg without crushing it. What seems simple for nearly everyone else can be more of a Herculean task for Walgamott, who lost his left hand and part of

A small chemical change makes the difference between mice that are healthy and mice with insulin resistance and fatty liver

Results highlight potential diabetes drug target and role for ceramides in sensing nutrition A small chemical change — shifting the position of two hydrogen atoms — makes the difference between mice that are healthy and mice with insulin resistance and fatty liver, major risk factors for diabetes and heart disease. Making the change prevented the

A fast way to turn algae to biocrude

Physicists have discovered a new effect, which makes it possible to create excellent thermal insulators which conduct electricity. Such materials can be used to convert waste heat into electrical energy. Biofuel experts have long sought a more economically viable way to turn algae into biocrude oil to power vehicles, ships and even jets. University of

Promising new pancreatic cancer treatment progresses to a clinical trial

Even among cancers, pancreatic cancer is an especially sinister form of disease. The one-year survival rate is extremely low, and treatment progress has lagged behind that of many other malignancies. A study published today in the journal Nature Medicine led by researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah (U of U) describes a new therapeutic approach with
