In a move that echoes a sci-fi series, researchers have developed a super-small material that was able to not only stimulate nerves in rodents, but reconnect them as well. The finding could lead to injectable particles that take the place of larger imp… Continue reading Nanomaterial stimulates and regrows severed nerves like sci-fi tech
Taking a plot point from the 1990 Sean Connery thriller The Hunt for Red October, DARPA is working on a super-silent submarine drive that has no moving parts and provides propulsion through the water using magnets and electricity.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading DARPA launches program in quest for “Red October” silent submarine drive
Electric guitars were the hip new thing back in the mid-century. The electrification of the common and portable guitar opened up a lot of avenues in terms of sound and …read more Continue reading Bass Guitar Gets Shapeshifting Pickups
Researchers at Drexel University have created “Faraday fabrics” that can block almost all electromagnetic waves. The key ingredient is a 2D material called MXene, and the development could help protect wearables from interference and people from potent… Continue reading Experimental “Faraday fabric” blocks almost all electromagnetic waves
For many type 2 diabetics, keeping blood sugar to healthy levels is a painstaking task involving regular monitoring and insulin injections, but scientists are pursuing more convenient ways to manage the condition. Among them is a research group at the … Continue reading “Remote control” for diabetes tackles blood sugar with electromagnetism
Electromagnetic interference can be a serious problem for electronic devices, so shielding is usually placed around components. Now, engineers at Drexel University have found that a 2D material called titanium carbonitride is an excellent shielding mat… Continue reading 2D material absorbs electromagnetic waves for superior shielding
Containing the electromagnetic radiation generated by electronic components is a key consideration for designers of electronic devices, but today’s metal-based shielding materials have their downsides. Scientists at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for M… Continue reading Aerogel fashioned into world’s lightest electromagnetic shielding
Although it doesn’t happen often, it is possible for electromagnetic fields (EMFs) to affect the performance of cardiac implants such as pacemakers. Fortunately for recipients, though, a new study indicates that EMFs produced by electric cars pose no s… Continue reading Study concludes that electric cars don’t affect pacemakers
