Engineers Build LEGO-Like Artificial Intelligence Chip

Imagine a more sustainable future, where cellphones, smartwatches, and other wearable devices don't have to be shelved or discarded for a newer model. Instead, they could be upgraded with the latest sensors and processors that would snap onto a device's internal chip — like LEGO bricks incorporated into an existing build. Such reconfigurable chipware could keep devices up to date while reducing our electronic waste.

China's First Salt Cavern Compressed Air Energy Storage in Operation

China's first salt cavern compressed air energy storage started operations in Changzhou city, East China's Jiangsu province, marking significant progress in the research and application of China's new energy storage technology.

Lithium Metal Battery with a Protective Layer

Researchers have taken an important step towards a new type of Li-ion battery, which can be found in our smartphones, laptops and electric cars, among other things. For the first time, they succeeded in making an electrolyte that goes well with an anode made of lithium metal. Lithium metal is the holy grail for anodes. In theory, a two to three times higher energy density can be achieved with this material compared to current batteries.

Eternal Material Technology Company (EMT)

Eternal Material Technology Company produces OLED materials, focusing primarily on host and electron transport layer materials. In 2019 they partnered with Universal Display Corporation (UDC) as a contract manufacturer, and in 2020 they announced the construction of large facility to manufacture OLED materials.

New Microbot With in Situ, in Vivo Bioprinting for Gastric Wounds

Researchers have taken the first step towards a new way of treating gastric wounds by using a microrobot combined with the new concept of "in situ in vivo bioprinting" to carry out tissue repair inside the body.

BYD's New Blade Battery Set to Redefine EV Safety Standards

BYD has announced the launch of the Blade Battery, a development set to mitigate concerns about battery safety in electric vehicles.

Robotic Gripping Mechanism Mimics How Sea Anemones Catch Prey

Most robotic gripping mechanisms to date have relied on humanlike fingers or appendages, which sometimes struggle to provide the fine touch, flexibility or cost-effectiveness needed in some circumstances to hold onto objects. Recent work looks to provide a path forward for gripping robots from an unlikely source -- the doughnut-shaped sea anemone.
