RAILWAY AGE, OCTOBER 2023 ISSUE: What exactly is stress? It’s a tough—and often-asked—question. Welcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” Each month, we examine a technology topic ...

A face-serum staple just helped a research team build an invisible film that conducts electricity like a metal. At La Trobe University in Melbourne, the group used hyaluronic acid to guide the growth ...

Windows are responsible for more than half of all heat loss and heat gain in buildings. In 2024, buildings accounted for about 30% of all global energy consumption, according to the International ...

Scientists at La Trobe University have produced a new, powerful electricity-conducting material, in research which could revolutionise smartphones and wearable technologies like medical devices. The ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

Much of modern electronic and computing technology is based on one idea: add chemical impurities, or defects, to semiconductors to change their ability to conduct electricity. These altered materials ...

In brief: Researchers in China may be on the verge of bringing invisibility cloaks from the Harry Potter movies to life. A team from the University of Electronic Science and Technology claims to have ...
