Researchers have created a new solution for generating solar power. The new "windows" could create energy from light from indoors and outdoors.
Creating satellites that could travel flat and transform themselves into a dish shape would make space exploration easier, say researchers.
A new aerogel can suck up water vapor in the air and then release it as clean drinking water, researchers report. It doesn't even need a power source.
There's a way to use low-energy, visible light to produce polymer gel objects from pure monomer solutions, report researchers.
New 3D-printable synthetic polymers have morphing powers and can self-heal within seconds. They could be useful for more realistic prosthetics.
A new formula for ultrafast insulin could work in much less time than the current stuff, according to research with pigs.
"I was skeptical at the beginning because it seemed too good to be true. But when I saw the first set of results in the lab, I was just astonished."
"This opens the door to printing soft robotics that could swim like a jellyfish, jump like a cricket, or transport liquids like the heart."
A new polymer composite may offer a lighter, non-toxic radiation shielding to replace lead, researchers report.
Researchers have blended tannic acid from red wine to create antioxidant mats. They could line storage containers to keep food fresh.
