While some blood clots can be removed via a flexible tool that’s inserted into the affected vein or artery, others are much more difficult to reach. Those other clots could one day be treated using remote-control “millirobots” that auger their way thro… Continue reading Clot-busting “millirobots” corkscrew their way through blood vessels
Research into next-generation batteries involves continuous experimentation with alternative materials that might unlock significant performance gains, and a new breakthrough offers a compelling example of what this could look like. Scientists at the U… Continue reading “Open” structure lithium battery material enables 10x faster charging
Engineers go to great lengths to maximize the exposure of wind turbines, placing blades atop tall towers on the crests of hills or miles off shore over the wild, unprotected ocean. A new study has thrown up an interesting curve ball that could open up … Continue reading Surprising study shows how wind turbines can work better behind hills
Modern sensors have given conservationists a powerful new tool in the fight against poaching, with the ability to track the whereabouts of endangered animals as they wander through the wild. A new research project at the University of Twente could harn… Continue reading Anti-poaching motion sensor recognizes when wildlife is on the run
By focusing on the way lithium moves between the two electrodes, scientists in the Netherlands have come up with a new battery design that promises much faster charging rates. The architecture incorporates specialized channel structures that enable a g… Continue reading Battery anode allows for faster charging via free-flowing nanochannels
