Towards the T-1000: Liquid metals propel future electronics
Melbourne, Australia (SPX) Aug 10, 2016
Science fiction is inching closer to reality with the development of revolutionary self-propelling liquid metals - a critical step towards future elastic electronics. While building a shape-shifting liquid metal T-1000 Terminator may still be far on the horizon, the pioneering work by researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, is setting the foundation for moving beyond solid state electronics towards flexible and dynamically reconfigurable soft circuit systems. Modern electronic tec ... read more

Transition from Operations to Decommissioning by Preparing a Safe, Cost-Effective Shut Down and Waste Management Strategy

Transmitting energy in soft materials Soft materials are great at damping energy - that's why rubber tires are so good at absorbing the shock of bumps and potholes. But if researchers are going to build autonomous soft systems, like sof ... more		Towards a better screen Harvard University researchers have designed more than 1,000 new blue-light emitting molecules for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that could dramatically improve displays for televisions, pho ... more		Ash improves methane yield and fertilizer value in biogas systems Bio-oil from agricultural and forest waste could help seal abandoned oil wells and store carbon Rice researchers turn wasted data center heat into clean power		From unconventional laser beams to a more robust imaging wave Here's the scene: a suspicious package is found in a public place. The police are called in and clear the area. Forced to work from a distance and unable to peer inside, they fear the worst and deci ... more
				Tailored AFM probes created via 3-D direct laser writing Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a technique that allows researchers to analyze surfaces at the atomic scale, and it's based on a surprisingly simple concept: A sharp tip on a cantilever "senses" th ... more		USC quantum computing researchers reduce quantum information processing errors Quantum computing remains mysterious and elusive to many, but USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers might have taken us one step closer to bring such super-powered devices to practical reali ... more
