“Heat wave” pulses through graphite as scientists achieve a surprising mechanism of heat transfer
Researchers successfully forced heat to move in a different way than usual. They got it to travel like a wave through a graphite medium at the same speed as sound waves. Unlike light or sound, heat does not propagate through waves. It spreads via diffusion and bounces off excited molecules in all directions. If heat […]

Crime scenes will be scanned and modeled in 3D to create interactive virtual crime scenes “within minutes”
The 2014 remake of Robocop showed the titular protagonist getting security camera footage of the car bomb that maimed him and turning it into a computer model. An Israeli company developed the real-life version of that technology, allowing police to create 3D models of a crash or crime scene within minutes. Called 3D-Hawk, the tool […]

Researchers find way to harvest electricity from bacteria
A Swedish-led research group succeeded in increasing the amount of electrical current that they can harvest from bacteria. The jump in efficiency is a big step toward the use of bacteria as sources of clean and renewable energy. In light of the dwindling supply of fossil fuels and the increasing demand for energy, researchers are exploring potential sources […]

Plane privacy: Researchers invent new toilet to make flushing in airplanes whisper-quiet
Nervous frequent flyers and jumpy kids may soon get some peace of mind while using the toilet on an airplane. It took a lot of tries, but researchers finally developed relatively simple ways to reduce the noise made by a flushing toilet. A team of physicists from Brigham Young University (BYU) spent two years adjusting different parts […]

New camera boasts frame rate of 10 trillion fps, captures light as it travels
If you ever wanted to see what light looks like as it travels through air, you would need the femtosecond streak camera developed by California-based researchers. The fastest optical instrument in the world, it snaps a staggering 10 trillion frames per second. Developed by researchers from the National Institute of Scientific Research (INRS) and the […]

Researchers develop new coating for textile fibers that can protect against toxic industrial chemicals
Industrial workers and soldiers alike are often exposed to deadly chemicals in the workplace. Now, they might breathe in relief thanks to a new metal-organic framework. When applied to the fibers of various textiles, the coating will catch and trap deadly chemicals, keeping the toxic substances from ever reaching the wearer. The metal-organic framework promises […]

Wigner’s friend is about to get REAL: Experiment hints at potential of “multiple realities”
If he were alive today, the famous researcher Eugene Wigner would probably be delighted to know that his “friend in another reality” turned out to be real. A recently published Austrian study proved the possibility of his theory by showing that two realities might exist simultaneously on the quantum level. Supported by the University of […]

Engineers miniaturize spectrometers – coming to a phone near you
Researchers have recently presented a prototype spectrometer that integrates with a digital camera to scan substances for the presence of chemicals. The micronized version of the versatile optical instrument might one day become another common feature in mobile devices. A spectrometer is a type of light-based sensor that searches for the presence of chemicals and […]

Grow your own cup: Biodegradable cups made from gourds may end single-use coffee cups
A New York-based design company called Creme is doing its part to reduce the amount of plastic trash churned out each year. Instead of manufacturing disposable coffee cups with plastic liners, the start-up grows biodegradable, organic containers from fruits. For their project, Creme picked gourds from the Cucurbitaceae family. Related to squash and pumpkins, these […]

Biodegradable “transparent” timber works just as well as glass in windows
Swedish researchers fiddled with wood until they managed to turn it technically transparent. They also made the biodegradable material capable of absorbing heat from sunlight and releasing it during colder periods. If used in the windows of buildings, the revolutionary material might help save energy by reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling. It […]
