Electric delivery vehicle tech prototyped

A technology demonstrator for a new type of electric delivery vehicle which could make the courier industry greener and more efficient has been developed.

Self-powered paper-based SPEDs lead to new medical-diagnostic tools

A new medical-diagnostic device made out of paper detects biomarkers and identifies diseases by performing electrochemical analyses - powered only by the user's touch - and reads out the color-coded test results, making it easy for non-experts to understand.

HRL receives NASA award to 3-D print ceramic rocket engine components

The two-year program will culminate with hot-fire ground testing of rocket engines that contain 3D-printed heat-resistant components.

Genome analysis with near-complete privacy possible

Researchers used cryptography to cloak irrelevant genetic information in individuals' genomes while revealing disease-associated mutations. They say the technique could vastly improve patient privacy.

Audi working on advanced solar car bodywork

Audi and Alta Devices, a subsidiary of solar-cell specialist, Hanergy Thin Film Power, plan to work together to integrate solar cells into panoramic glass roofs of Audi models.

Model lays groundwork for machine-learning device

In what could be a small step for science potentially leading to a breakthrough, an engineer has taken steps toward using nanocrystal networks for artificial intelligence applications.

Electric Trikes Improve

Evovelo has just announced its prototype electric trike, which can reach speeds of 45 kph with a drivers' cab and solar panel on the roof.

Using machine learning to improve patient care

In a new pair of papers, researchers explore ways for computers to help doctors make better medical decisions.

Helping robots to correct errors on-the-fly and learn from each other

New stochastic separation theorems proved by mathematicians could enhance capabilities of artificial intelligence.

Smart personal cooling system for miners

It's like something out of a Star Trek episode: a suit that cools down when the person who wears it gets hot. But unlike a prop in the sci-fi show, research for this suit is happening now, and the place it will be worn is on Earth — or more specifically, far under the Earth's surface.

Cyborg bacteria outperform plants at photosynthesis

Photosynthesis provides energy for the vast majority of life on Earth. But chlorophyll, the green pigment that plants use to harvest sunlight, is relatively inefficient. To enable humans to capture more of the sun's energy than natural photosynthesis can, scientists have taught bacteria to cover themselves in tiny, highly efficient solar panels to produce useful compounds.

LG Electronics to establish factory for electrical components

LG Electronics Inc has announced plans to establish a factory for advanced electric vehicle components in the United States.

Repairing damaged hearts with self-healing heart cells

New research has discovered a potential means to trigger damaged heart cells to self-heal. The discovery could lead to groundbreaking forms of treatment for heart diseases.

Turning human waste into plastic

Imagine you're on your way to Mars, and you lose a crucial tool during a spacewalk. Not to worry, you'll simply re-enter your spacecraft and use some microorganisms to convert your urine and exhaled carbon dioxide into chemicals to make a new one.

Packaging film coated with clay nanotubes

Sometimes it seems as if fresh fruits, vegetables and meats go bad in the blink of an eye. Consumers are left feeling frustrated, often turning to less expensive processed foods that last longer but are less nutritious.

Electronic skin takes wearable health monitors to the next level

A new, electronic skin microsystem tracks heart rate, respiration, muscle movement and other health data, and wirelessly transmits it to a smartphone.

Designing custom robots in a matter of minutes

Even as robots become increasingly common across different parts of our world, they remain incredibly difficult to make.

Stretchable biofuel cells extract energy from sweat to power wearables

A team of engineers has developed stretchable fuel cells that extract energy from sweat and are capable of powering electronics, such as LEDs and Bluetooth radios.

aCar the electric all-rounder

An electric car for Africa, custom-designed for the needs of the population there, that strengthens rural structures and helps drive the economy.

Solar Racing Spins Off Another Vehicle Company

Electric vehicles are the future and ones that make their own electricity are the end game for these.
