MIT researchers create a new water-repellent coating that can be added to natural fabrics such as cotton and silk
Water-repellent coatings are useful when it comes to keeping things dry, but their fluorinated components are considered toxic to humans and the environment. So Massachusetts-based researchers came up with a new coating that is just as effective, much safer for human health, and can be added to natural fabrics, an article in Nanowerk stated. Massachusetts […]

New computer simulations show that a liquid medium can act like a solid silicon-based semiconductor
What do you think of a computer that uses liquid materials as semiconductors? A recent simulation demonstrated that a liquid medium works just as effectively as the silicon-based solids used in computer chips, an article in Science Daily stated. A liquid medium uses far fewer materials than its solid counterparts. The soft parts are also very […]

They’re taking over sports, too? New AI robot can shoot better than professional basketball players
Toyota employees loved a basketball manga character so much, they built a basketball-shooting robot from scratch. While it can’t move, it hits nothing but net from the free throw line, reported a NewsWeek article. Japanese newspaper Asahi Shumbun identified the humanoid robot as CUE. Its artificial intelligence allowed it to pick up and polish certain basic basketball skills better […]

LED stool lights up to warn slouches, help prevent back pain
The solution to agonizing back pain might be as simple as a light-emitting diode (LED) on a chair. In an article on The Daily Mail, German researchers unveiled a smart stool that warns its user about incorrect seating posture. A pair of sensors allows the stool to keep track of the user’s posture. This sensor system […]
