RAILWAY AGE, OCTOBER 2023 ISSUE: What exactly is stress? It’s a tough—and often-asked—question. Welcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” Each month, we examine a technology topic ...

A face-serum staple just helped a research team build an invisible film that conducts electricity like a metal. At La Trobe University in Melbourne, the group used hyaluronic acid to guide the growth ...

Scientists at La Trobe University have produced a new, powerful electricity-conducting material, in research which could revolutionise smartphones and wearable technologies like medical devices. The ...

(Nanowerk News) Optical materials used in electro-optical devices, such as lasers, can be hard to investigate given their transparent nature. Researchers from the Department of Applied Physics have ...

Every smartphone, computer, and modern electronic device depends on a material you rarely hear about—but it’s everywhere: the semiconductor. In this video, you’ll discover what semiconductors are, how ...

Much of modern electronic and computing technology is based on one idea: add chemical impurities, or defects, to semiconductors to change their ability to conduct electricity. These altered materials ...

Of course, the interest in stealth technology for airplanes is almost as old as airplane flight itself. In one of the earliest widely-read public mentions of invisible plane technology, it was ...

image: Graphene is the thinnest material known to science. The nanomaterial is so thin, in fact, water often doesn’t even know it's there. A new study from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute shows how ...

In brief: Researchers in China may be on the verge of bringing invisibility cloaks from the Harry Potter movies to life. A team from the University of Electronic Science and Technology claims to have ...
