“Wearable microgrid” uses energy from the human body to power small gadgets
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) have developed a “wearable microgrid” that’s able to utilize energy from the human body to power small electronic devices. In a paper published on March 9 in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers said that they drew inspiration from community microgrids. “We’re applying the concept of […]

Solar cell technology is being adapted to detect chemical warfare agents and pesticides
In what is a unique application of new green technology, Australian researchers have figured out how to adapt a component from solar cells to develop a light-based detection system for deadly toxins. According to them, the system they’ve designed can be used to detect the presence of chemical warfare agents and pesticides. While the former have been banned internationally […]

Newly discovered “swirlonic state” of matter bends the laws of physics
Researchers have discovered a new kind of active matter that bends the laws of physics. Dubbed “swirlon,” the new matter behaves similarly to how fishes swim in schools and birds fly in murmurations. The laws of physics apply to passive, nonliving matter, ranging from planets all the way down to the smallest atoms. But according to Nikolai Brilliantov, a […]

Gold-coated silver nanowires promise cheaper, more flexible smart glass
Scientists from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in Canada developed a new way to create foldable and solid devices using silver nanowires coated in gold. Solid and flexible electrochromic (EC) devices, such as foldable displays in smartphones, smart windows and wearable electronics traditionally use iridium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. But despite their use in […]

Paper arguing for intelligent design passes peer review
A new paper that has argued for the concept of intelligent design (ID) has just passed peer review. Published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the paper argues that living beings are too exquisitely complex to have arisen by mindless, purposeless forces of nature, expressing this argument in mathematical terms. In the paper, researchers Steinar Thorvaldsen of The Arctic […]

Physicists build “energy harvesting” circuit from graphene
A team of physicists from the University of Arkansas (U of A) has successfully developed graphene-based circuits capable of providing nearly limitless power for small devices. Described in a paper published in the journal Physical Review E, the findings prove a theory the physicists developed at the U of A three yeas ago. This theory stated that freestanding graphene […]

Researchers develop a rewritable paper coating that encrypts sensitive data using only WATER
Chinese researchers have developed a special kind of paper coating that allows invisible messages to be written on it with water. The messages are visible only under ultraviolet (UV) light and can be erased by heating the paper. In a paper published in the journal Matter, the researchers described how invisible messages can be printed […]

“Potentially hazardous” asteroid that flew by the Earth last week was discovered by amateur astronomer
On Sept. 10, a large, “potentially dangerous” asteroid safely passed by the Earth. Measuring roughly 3,280 feet wide, asteroid 2020 QU6 was large enough to cause global catastrophe had it actually impacted the planet. What’s more worrying, however, are the circumstances behind 2020 QU6’s discovery. The asteroid wasn’t discovered by national space agencies but by amateur astronomer Leonardo Amaral at the […]

Ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) from a supermassive black hole push stars and galaxies around
Surrounding the center of many galaxies is a near-empty darkness that stands in direct contrast to brightly lit space around it. A recent study hints that this near-empty space is the result of “UFOs,” just not the kind you may be thinking of. According to a paper published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, the near-dark areas […]

Ammonia identified as a cost-effective material to store energy for fuel cells
On paper, fuel cells offer the best of both worlds. They can provide clean electric power for vehicles, without the need for long charging times that plague most EVs. The main problem with fuel cells, however, is that they use hydrogen, which is quite flammable and needs specialized infrastructure and equipment to handle. To address […]
