A new mechanism for efficient conversion of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide
Scientists designed new molecules, innovating a new pathway for CO2 conversion.
A new technique to effectively trap soundwaves and light
New possibilities in integrated photonics.
Liquid light shows social behavior, study
The photons try to stay together as a group by choosing the path that leads to the lowest losses.
A high-speed camera captures how a water jet pierces a droplet
The results may help engineers develop a way to inject drugs without needles.
New algorithm to generate 3D models of the insides of large buildings
A complete workflow that allows to generate 3D models from point clouds of buildings.
New electrical generator harvest energy from droplets
Newly proposed charge trapping‐based electricity generator (CTEG) harvests passive energy from water droplets and other sources of mechanical energy with high efficiency.
Being thankful can make you happier, study
A new study has evaluated the impact of gratitude on mental wellbeing. The study conducted by the University of Twente found that consciously training...
Shared use of Ventilators is possible, propose scientists
The coronavirus is straining the global health care system, and one piece of lifesaving medical equipment is in particularly scarce supply: mechanical ventilators. In...
The liquid helix and the teapot effect
The problem with teapots is their annoying habit of dribbling, particularly at low rates of flow. The phenomenon has achieved such notoriety that it...
New prosthetic technology lets you control artificial arms
Scientists at the University of Twente (NL), in cooperation with Imperial College London (UK) and University of Aalborg (DK) have developed a profoundly new prosthetic...
Superconductivity where you don’t expect it
The special properties of 'topological materials' typically occur at their surface. These materials, for instance, insulators that do lead current at their surface, are...
