Fleets of advanced versions may one day be able to detect disease and then go about surgically treating it — without ever opening the skull.
Dentists have sterilized medical equipment with ultraviolet-C light for years. Applying this tech to bandages had proven a challenge — until now.
To store the energy generated by wind and solar power, researchers are looking at mammoth systems that raise and lower weights.
Unlike solar power, this new source of electricity is available day or night.
Researchers are using artificial intelligence for pet-translation apps. One day, it might put into words what our furry friends are vocalizing.
Chemists make a liquid alternative to fossil fuels from carbon dioxide, water and the sun. Their trick? They use a new type of artificial leaf.
A new device can detect from seven to 35 coronavirus particles per liter of air in minutes. That’s close to a PCR test’s sensitivity — but much quicker.
With layers that work like polar bears’ skin and fur, a material absorbs light and keeps it from escaping.
The rainbow palette and cooling powers of new plant-based films comes from their microscopic surface patterns of tiny crystals.
