A digital, voice-controlled hand could improve the convenience and accessibility of virtual and augmented reality by enabling hands-free use of games and apps. The prototype software was developed by computer scientists at the University of […]
What if your clothes could sense, respond, and even help you move? That’s the vision behind the doctoral project on “textile nerves”—conductive fibers designed for electronic and ionotronic textiles. Claude Huniade, who was behind an […]
The vast majority of consumer electronics use lithium-ion batteries, and with each generation, these devices are designed smaller, lighter and with longer battery life to meet the growing demands of consumers. Each new iteration also […]
A cap on the number of international students at the five comprehensive Randstad universities will have a significantly negative impact on the Dutch economy. The gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to decline by approximately […]
The increasing pressure for teachers to obey school curriculum policies is “profoundly demotivating” and is leading directly to people leaving the profession, a new study warns.This article was originally published on this website.
In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface covered by one or […]
In an approach reminiscent of the classic board game “Battleship,” Stanford researchers have discovered a way to characterize the microscopic structure of everyday materials such as sand and concrete with high precision.This article was originally […]
Researchers have demonstrated a new and sustainable way to make the chemicals that are the basis of thousands of products—from plastics to cosmetics—we use every day.This article was originally published on this website.
Light bulbs come in many shapes and styles: globes, twists, flame-like candle tips and long tubes. But there aren’t many thin options. Now, researchers report in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces that they have created […]
Researchers have created a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can snap into more than a dozen curved, three-dimensional shapes by compressing or twisting the original structure. This rapid shape-shifting behavior can be controlled remotely using a […]
