| Theater arts research offers insight for designers, builders of social robots Posted: 21 Nov 2014 11:12 AM PST Researchers have provided insight into human behavior for scientists, engineers who design and build social robots.  |
| 'Mind the gap' between atomically thin materials Posted: 21 Nov 2014 11:11 AM PST For the first time, researchers have grown a single atomic layer of tungsten diselenide on a one- atom-thick substrate of graphene with pristine interfaces between the two layers using an industrially scalable technique.  |
| Streamlining thin film processing for electrodes, display screens Posted: 21 Nov 2014 08:18 AM PST Energy storage devices and computer screens may seem worlds apart, but they're not. When an electrical engineering professor teamed up with and computer scientists to make a less expensive supercapacitor for storing renewable energy, they developed a new plasma technology that will streamline the production of display screens.  |
| A coating that protects against heat and oxidation Posted: 21 Nov 2014 05:29 AM PST Researchers have developed a coating technique that they plan to use to protect turbine engine and waste incinerator components against heat and oxidation. A topcoat from micro-scaled hollow aluminium oxide spheres provides heat insulation, in the lab, already proved more economical than conventional techniques.  |
| Health screening for industrial machines Posted: 20 Nov 2014 05:21 AM PST Germany's Industry 4.0 initiative aims to develop industrial machinery with built-in intelligence based on smart self-monitoring functions. Researchers have now come a step closer to the ideal of a self-maintaining machine. New technology provides real-time online monitoring of unprecedented quality.  |
| Posted: 14 Nov 2014 09:45 AM PST Research engineers have been working on military vehicles that feature in Brad Pitt's new movie.  |
| Shaking the topological cocktail of success Posted: 12 Nov 2014 10:21 AM PST Take ultracold potassium atoms, place a honeycomb lattice of laser beams on top of them and shake everything in a circular motion: this recipe enabled researchers to implement an idea for a new class of materials first proposed in 1988 in their laboratory.  |
