Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for precisely controlling phase boundaries in thin film materials by manipulating the thickness of those films—allowing them to engineer energy storage materials that do not rely on toxic elements. […]

In Canada, it can seem like there are two seasons: winter and construction. Whether it’s repairing sidewalks and streets, or building new homes and apartments, much of this work uses cement—the key ingredient of concrete.This […]

A collaborative team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Ajou University in South Korea has revealed that the unique fan-like propellers of Rhagovelia water striders—which allow them […]

Machine learning software helps agencies make important decisions, such as who gets a bank loan or what areas police should patrol. But if these systems have biases, even small ones, they can cause real harm. […]

A Concordia-led team of researchers has developed a groundbreaking model that rethinks the way packages are delivered in urban environments.This post was originally published on this site

A new type of drone, inspired by the aerial precision of birds of prey, could one day navigate through dense city skyscrapers to deliver our packages or inspect hard-to-reach offshore wind farms, thanks to pioneering […]

A recent study has identified that the primary cause of early-stage performance decline in water electrolyzers is due to the agglomeration of platinum (Pt) catalyst particles on the cathode.This post was originally published on this […]

Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic systems with diverse motions and functions. Such versatility in soft robots—in terms of rapid and efficient crawling—can be achieved via asymmetric bending through bilayer-type actuators […]

Researchers affiliated with UNIST have managed to prolong the lifespan of iron-chromium redox flow batteries (Fe-Cr RFBs), large-capacity and explosion-proof energy storage systems (ESS). This advancement enhances the safety and reliability of storing renewable energy […]
