In the construction industry, concrete is a necessary material for many infrastructure projects, including highways, bridges, dams, and office buildings, as well as the foundations and superstructure of these buildings.

Imaging technology has come a long way in the last few decades, from tiny lensless cameras that capture images with a single pixel to high-speed optical sensors that process over two million frames per second.

Washington State University produced two insect-like robots that are the tiniest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots ever made: the mini-bug and the water strider.

Tohoku University researchers have created specifications for a single-nanometer magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) that enables performance customization to satisfy the needs of numerous applications, including AI/IoT, automobiles, and space technologies.

Strong, lightweight materials that can tolerate very high temperatures have the potential to improve existing technologies, pave the way for the creation of novel biomedical imaging or hydrogen storage applications, or even usher in the next generation of spacecraft.

Researchers at Columbia University and the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have created a method for turning carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas, into carbon nanofibers—materials with a variety of special qualities and several long-term applications.

Alkylamines are multipurpose chemicals that can do everything from improving the effectiveness of herbicides to easing allergy problems.

Researchers have discovered a phenomenon known as premelting at temperatures significantly lower than previously believed, thanks to imaging equipment at the DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory.

Lung cancer diagnosis could soon be as simple as breathing nanoparticle sensors and then undergoing a urine test to determine whether a tumor is present, thanks to new technology developed at MIT.

A novel high-performance shortwave infrared (SWIR) image sensor built with non-toxic colloidal quantum dots has been created by ICFO and Qurv researchers.
