Will artificial intelligence expand and enhance its teaching prowess to the point where it can replace the professor in his or her traditional role?
Using microalgae to generate 3D photoluminescent microstructures
Scientists feed live microalgal cells terbium to fabricate 3D functional devices.
New DNA origami motor breaks speed record for nano machines
Scientists pave way for nanobots to one day diagnose and treat disease with the first DNA-based motor to run on chemical energy.
A new material for thermal camouflage
Masking heat signatures from prying eyes, researchers develop a new material that functions as a cloaking device.
A resilient robotic bug
Researchers at Dartmouth have developed a miniature robotic bug that has a flexible body, is easily maneuverable, and can be completely flattened without damaging its functionality.
A wearable electronic device designed for man’s best friend
A wireless acoustic sensor that can be worn over fur could be especially useful for monitoring the vital stats of working animals such as sniffer dogs.
Autonomous chemical synthesis
AI is being leveraged to provide machines with the capacity to match or even outperform humans in many endeavors. So what does this mean for the synthetic chemist?
On the implications of overlooking measurement effects in memristors
The importance of understanding the experimental process is ubiquitous in research. And while we have a huge range of techniques at our disposal, we should be aware of and properly consider their limitations, so that we may present reliable methods and conclusions to...
