This month, President Joe Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act into law. The bill is putting new focus on semiconductors—the tiny devices that are in everything from smartphones to laptops and even thermostats.
Researchers at ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ have developed and validated a new sensor for E. coli risk detection that features an impressive 83% accuracy rate when detecting contamination in surface waters.
Doctoral students Aaquib Tabrez and Matthew Luebbers, along with their advisor Bradley Hayes, used augmented reality Minesweeper to gain insight into a robot’s decision-making process. They were awarded runner-up for best student paper at an international conference.
With a project called Tinycade, graduate student Peter Gyory has set out to recreate that arcade parlor experience from childhood—entirely out of junk.
A new study of rattlesnakes in the western U.S. sheds light on how the reptiles evolve over time to keep up with prey resistance to their venom.
The Living Materials Laboratory is scaling up the manufacture of carbon-neutral cement as well as cement products, which can slowly pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it.
Qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers, are as fragile as snowflakes. Now, researchers have come up with a new way of reading out the information from certain kinds of qubits with a light touch, potentially paving the way for a quantum internet.
New results from real-world tests of a downwind turbine could inform and improve the wind energy industry in a world with intensifying hurricanes and a greater demand for renewable energy.
The same visual trick, called 'structural color,' that makes peacock feathers green and butterfly wings blue gives these Colorado berries their brilliant hue, new research has found.
Among many interdisciplinary efforts, scientists are using the power and promise of remote sensing to help solve food supply, pollution and water scarcity problems around the globe.
