Researchers have created a low-cost fiber that contracts in response to heat, resuming its shape when the heat is removed. Compatible with existing textile-producing machinery and not reliant on sensors or other hardware, the shape-shifting fiber could… Continue reading Shape-shifting fiber responds to heat, could produce morphing fabrics
The goalie mask, at least the retro-styled fiberglass types from the 60s and 70s, hasn’t been used in hockey for about 50 years — it’s instead made many more appearances …read more Continue reading The Goalie Mask, Reenvisioned
Researchers in Australia have demonstrated a specially engineered form of fermentable fiber can lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The randomized, placebo-controlled trial revealed just three weeks of dietary supplementation decreased … Continue reading Blood pressure reduced by engineered fiber supplements
Lasers are known for the monochromatic nature of their light, so much so that you might never have thought there could be such a thing as a white laser. But …read more Continue reading A White-Light Laser, On the Cheap
Nanofibers have recently been utilized in many applications, ranging from wound dressings to air filters to high-strength composite materials. Scientists have now developed a faster and simpler method of producing those fibers, which was inspired by th… Continue reading Silkworm inspires quicker, simpler method of nanofiber production
It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about …read more Continue reading Properly Pipe Laser Light Around with Homebrew Fiber Couplings
RMIT researchers claim FiberX can add up to 20% more healthy dietary fiber to food, without any detectable change to its color, texture or taste. Best of all, the team says it can be made from starches that would otherwise be agricultural waste.Continu… Continue reading “Invisible fiber” makes food healthier with no flavor or texture change
