Autonomous vehicles need to operate in a complex environment, and recognizing traffic signs is an important part of that. A new microstructured material reflects light in rainbow rings, which can make traffic signs easier for computer vision systems to… Continue reading Rainbow road sign film would be easier for autonomous vehicles to read
A compelling new study is offering an insight into the mechanism by which a novel form of light therapy can speed the healing of burn injuries. The research indicates the experimental therapy can activate a key protein that stimulates cell growth.Conti… Continue reading New insight into how light therapy can speed up burn wound healing
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new method for 3D printing graphene aerogels that work well as water filters. The team says this technique helps make graphene aerogels scalable and stable enough to be used over and over.Contin… Continue reading 3D-printed graphene aerogel makes efficient, scalable water filter
Graphene has a lot of useful properties, but magnetism isn’t one of them – at least, not usually. In a new study led by the University at Buffalo, researchers have managed to induce an “artificial magnetic texture” in the material, which could have maj… Continue reading Artificial magnetic texture induced in graphene could boost spintronics
Air conditioners and other cooling systems are among our biggest consumers of electricity, so finding ways to passively cool buildings will be important in our increasingly warmer future. Now, researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a p… Continue reading Electricity-free radiative system cools buildings and heats water
It sometimes seems that as soon as another form of biometric ID authentication is developed, someone devises a way of fooling it. According to its creators, however, a new 3D finger vein-scanning system cannot be duped.Continue ReadingCategory: Science… Continue reading 3D finger-vein ID tech claimed to be virtually foolproof
A new study is questioning whether potential Alzheimer’s treatments previously found to be ineffective in human trials should be re-examined, after the discovery of a specific gene that can inhibit a therapy’s efficacy is only present in 75 percent of people.

Scientists at the University of Buffalo have made a discovery that could shake up what we know about the sense of smell in humans. The breakthrough centers on a newly discovered type of taste cell with the ability to respond to different stimuli, which… Continue reading New, multi-tasking taste cell responds to a range of stimuli
A University at Buffalo team has proposed a new form of power MOSFET transistor that can handle incredibly high voltages with minimal thickness, heralding an efficiency increase in the power electronics of electric vehicles.Continue ReadingCategory: El… Continue reading Ultra-high voltage transistors aim to boost EV range and efficiency
Researchers have resurrected woolly mammoth genes in the lab. But this isn’t about bringing the extinct species back from the dead. These particular genes came from one of the last remaining mammoth populations, which are believed to have suffered gene… Continue reading Resurrected woolly mammoth genes illustrate genetic decline
