Finally off mute? New technology could reduce lag for online gamers and work calls
From University of Central Florida 08/10/23 Whether you’re battling foes in a virtual arena or collaborating with colleagues across the globe, lag-induced disruptions can be a major hindrance to seamless communication and immersive experiences. That’s why researchers with the University of Central Florida’s College of Optics and Photonics (CREOL) and the University of California, Los […]
Novel battery technology with negligible voltage decay developed at CityU, a world’s first
From City University of Hong Kong 03/10/23 A pivotal breakthrough in battery technology that has profound implications for our energy future has been achieved by a joint-research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU). The new development overcomes the persistent challenge of voltage decay and can lead to significantly higher energy storage capacity. […]
Tall buildings could be built quicker and more cheaply if damping models were correct
From University of Bristol 20/09/23 Multi-storey buildings are assembled over cautiously to withstand wind strengths, researchers have found. This is because there are several difficulties in estimating damping – the method of removing energy in order to control vibratory motion like noise and mechanical oscillation, accurately in high-rise buildings. The findings, published today in the […]

Chattering in the deep: Long-distance, low-power underwater comms could aid environmental monitoring
From Massachusetts Institute of Technology 07/09/23 MIT researchers have demonstrated the first system for ultra-low-power underwater networking and communication, which can transmit signals across kilometer-scale distances. This technique, which the researchers began developing several years ago, uses about one-millionth the power that existing underwater communication methods use. By expanding their battery-free system’s communication range, the […]
AI drone racing pilot beats human world champions
From University of Zurich 31/08/23 Remember when IBM’s Deep Blue won against Gary Kasparov at chess in 1996, or Google’s AlphaGo crushed the top champion Lee Sedol at Go, a much more complex game, in 2016? These competitions where machines prevailed over human champions are key milestones in the history of artificial intelligence. Now a […]
AI can tell chemical composition from sample images alone
From Hokkaido University 30/08/23 Machine learning model provides quick method for determining the composition of solid chemical mixtures using only photographs of the sample. Have you ever accidentally ruined a recipe in the kitchen by adding salt instead of sugar? Due to their similar appearance, it’s an easy mistake to make. Similarly, checking with the […]
Papertronics: Eco-friendly computer components made entirely of paper could tackle e-waste
From Binghamton University 29/08/23 Imagine if you could build an electronic device made entirely of paper. A nontoxic, cost-effective and biodegradable alternative to silicon- and plastic-based components would be a game-changer for a planet quickly filling up with the “e-waste” of discarded gadgets and single-use sensors. That’s the vision of Binghamton University Professor Seokheun […]
Paper drinking straws may be worse for the environment than plastic versions – innovation opp.
From Taylor & Francis Group 25/08/23 Long-lasting “forever chemicals”, which can cause damaging health issues, found in 18/20 brands of paper straws “Eco-friendly” paper drinking straws contain long-lasting and potentially toxic chemicals, a new study has concluded. In the first analysis of its kind in Europe, and only the second in the world, Belgian researchers […]
