Assisted by quantum physics and machine learning, researchers have developed a transparent window coating that lets in visible light but blocks heat-producing UV and infrared. The coating not only reduces room temperature but also the energy consumptio… Continue reading New window film drops temperature by 45 °F, slashes energy consumption
Just last week, we heard about a robotic baby sea turtle that can “swim” through the sand. It’s not the only robo-turtle in town, though, as another one has been developed to possibly one day lead real baby turtles to the safety of the sea.Continue Rea… Continue reading Adaptable turtle-bot uses four flippers to scoot across the sand
Scientists have discovered a new type of cell in the heart. The cells, now named nexus glia, seem to help regulate heart rate and rhythm, and the team says they may unlock new understandings of some heart defects and diseases.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading New cells discovered in the heart may regulate heart rate and rhythm
If a foraging ant encounters a gap too wide for it to cross on its own, the insect will sometimes signal other ants to form a bridge of their linked bodies. Such behaviour has now been copied in a small four-legged robot, that may someday inspire bette… Continue reading Ant-inspired quadruped robots link together to overcome obstacles
