A new material for thermal camouflage
Masking heat signatures from prying eyes, researchers develop a new material that functions as a cloaking device.
CRISPR-HOT: A new tool to visualize cells
A new take on CRISPR allows researchers to “paint” cells and observe never-before-seen cellular processes in great detail.
Developing artificial enzymes using computers
Artificial enzymes promise to not only help us understand the complex functioning of enzymes, but will create a new generation of biosystems for sustainable chemistry practices.
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...
Understanding human aging with the help of a worm
The lifespan of C. elegans, an organism that responds to cellular stress in a similar way to humans, can be extended by activating a mechanism initiated by glial cells in the brain.
Printable sensors to enable data transmission by light
Color-selective organic light sensors are produced by inkjet printing with semiconducting inks.
Old carbon reservoirs unlikely to cause massive greenhouse gas release
Data shows we don’t need to be as concerned about large methane releases from large carbon reservoirs in response to future warming; we should be more concerned about methane released from human activities.
Micro- and nanofabrication of 2D and 3D metal structures
Exploring advances in building 2D and 3D structures through lithography and additive manufacturing.
Helping robots think like humans
UCF researchers develop a device that mimics brain cells used for human vision. The invention may help to one day make robots that can think like humans.
