A University of Nebraska-Lincoln engineering team, led by Eric Markvicka and graduate students Ethan Krings and Patrick McManigal, has advanced the development of soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the self-healing properties of human and plant skin.
Scientists flip the script and solve a longstanding spintronics challenge
detrimental to electronic performance—can actually enhance device efficiency by leveraging quantum properties. This discovery challenges decades of conventional thinking and paves the way for a new generation of ultra-low-power spintronic devices, which utilize the electron’s spin in addition to its charge to process and store data, offering a promising alternative to traditional electronics.
New imaging technique bridges the gap in microscale tomography
MoonRanger’s instruments to gather data during 2029 lunar mission
NASA has tapped a lunar rover built at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, to advance our understanding of water on the moon as it autonomously explores near the lunar south pole. MoonRanger will be among the payloads aboard a 2029 mission to the moon. The rover will carry a neutron spectrometer to study the lunar soil for traces of hydrogen, a good indicator of the presence of water, and demonstrate new levels of autonomous navigation on the moon.
What went wrong inside these recalled Anker power banks?
In this video, see how Lumafield uses advanced CT scanning to examine both recalled and non-recalled Anker power banks, revealing the internal factors behind a major safety recall affecting over a million units.
