A revolutionary redesign of urinals using fluid physics nearly eliminates splashback, offering massive benefits for hygiene, maintenance costs, and sustainability in public restrooms worldwide.
Engineers have transformed everyday Scotch tape into a powerful energy-harvesting device. This low-cost innovation captures energy from vibrations and turns it into electricity—enough to power LEDs, laser diodes, and even biosensors. The future of self-powered wearables and acoustic sensors may be stuck in your office drawer.
A new study has confirmed that acidifying raw milk to a pH of 4.1 using citric acid can fully deactivate the H5N1 avian influenza virus within six hours. This low-cost, farm-friendly method offers a practical alternative to pasteurization, especially for small and medium dairy operations managing waste milk.
Space data centers are no longer science fiction. From improved energy efficiency to next-level data security, orbiting data hubs could reshape our digital infrastructure. Here’s how.
Researchers have unlocked a powerful way to analyze 2D electron systems at cryogenic temperatures using fingerprint spectroscopy—shedding new light on mobility, concentration, and defects in quantum materials like LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃.
A new pressure-sensitive adhesive could reshape the future of foldable displays. It cleanly detaches with UV light, breaks down into safe molecules, and can be chemically recycled—offering a real step forward in sustainable electronics.
Researchers have successfully demonstrated a new technique to repair lunar construction materials using Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP). By filling cracks in sintered lunar simulant bricks with a bacteria-driven bio-slurry, scientists restored up to 55% of the bricks’ original strength. This sustainable repair method could be key to building durable, long-term habitats on the Moon using local resources.
