Researchers develop a system that levitates objects using only ultrasonic waves
Have you ever imagined moving a small object across the room by just pointing at the direction you need it to go? German researchers have created a device called LeviCursor that can accomplish that magical task of levitating items with invisible ultrasonic waves. LeviCursor is the the latest step towards realizing a dream long cherished by information technology (IT) […]

Novel chemistry method paves the way for large-scale production of bioplastic bottles
Japanese and Dutch researchers demonstrated a new technique to extract an important plastic-making chemical from non-edible plant matter in large quantities. Their method of getting furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from a renewable source of material could displace the fossil fuel equivalent that is used to make plastic bottles and other plastic products. There is a growing […]

Researchers find a powerful fuel catalyst – in Jell-O
The ingredient responsible for Jell-O’s famous jiggling can be used to make an incredibly cost-effective catalyst for producing hydrogen fuel. Researchers claimed that their gelatin-derived compound can match the performance of its much more expensive platinum-based equivalent. The new water-splitting material is made up of extremely thin sheets of metal carbide, an inexpensive earth element found nearly everywhere. Gelatin is […]

New nanomaterial could lead to a highly sensitive biomolecule sensor or a more efficient solar cell
Visible and infrared light will not escape from the new plasmonic absorber developed by Singaporean researchers. Called Ag-Sb2S3, the silver-based nanomaterial can transfer all of the light it captures to photovoltaic cells for producing energy, or to sensitive detectors that can pick out minute biomolecules floating in the air. Despite being made from expensive silver, Ag-Sb2S3 enjoys low […]

Research team detects the existence of water in a multiple asteroids for the first time
Infrared satellite imagery of near-Earth objects have picked up the presence of mineral crystals that contain liquid water. Japanese researchers remarked that this was the first time hydrated minerals have been found inside asteroids. Further investigation of these imprisoned water samples can tell us about how our planet got its water in the first place. Earth is the sole planet in […]

New class of strong biocompatible adhesives made from silk
Silk is usually used to make beautiful yet durable clothes and fabrics. Korean researchers demonstrated that the ancient material can be used as an effective yet comfortable bio-compatible adhesive for epidermal electronics. These skin-attached electronics need an “interface” that connects the sensor and the biological surface. The glue must be strong enough to keep the sensor in place […]

Steel found to have “fingerprints” which could help researchers detect tampered parts
It turns out that steel possesses the magnetic equivalent of a “fingerprint” that changes from sample to sample. Even products drawn from the same batch of raw materials and made using the exact same techniques will display different and unique magnetic fingerprints. Researchers believe they could use this property to identify and authenticate the steel items. Officials who enforce […]

Novel smart material can respond dynamically to its environment
Researchers from Brown University have built a new smart material that combines the strength of graphene oxide and the oil-repelling ability of an alginate hydrogel. Not only is the material is stronger than pure alginate — the base material for many biomedical devices — but it can also change its attributes according to the state of its environment. Alginate is […]

New study overturns classic ideas about volcanic eruptions
When you were younger, you were probably taught that volcanoes contained a central chamber filled with molten material called magma. But a British study claims that that there is no such underground space inside a volcano, only many small pockets filled with crystals and magma. These findings are earthshaking in more ways than one. Our […]

MIT engineers have created a “Sun in a box” which stores renewable energy to be used on demand
The new renewable energy storage method devised by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a proper technical name. But many call it “Sun in a box” because of its conceptual resemblance to the giant ball in the sky that provides the Earth with seemingly unlimited amounts of energy. Just like the Sun, the Thermal Energy Grid […]
