A new 3D-printed aluminum alloy is stronger than traditional aluminum, due to a key recipe that, when printed, produces aluminum (illustrated in brown) with nanometer scale precipitates (in light blue). The precipitates are arranged in…
Global energy demand is rising rapidly, driven by data centers, advanced vehicles, and new manufacturing technologies. Researchers at NREL have developed an ultra-efficient, compact power module that can extract significantly more usable energy from existing…
Abram Fluckiger holds up a sample panel square that has five sandwiched layers of a new material nearly transparent insulation material called MOCHI, which was designed buy CU Boulder researchers in physics professor Ivan Smalyukh’s…
Researchers have uncovered why a newer generation of lithium-ion battery materials can still crack and degrade, despite being designed to avoid known failure modes. The study reveals that single-crystal cathodes fail through a different, previously…

Cancer-diagnosing AI models can secretly read patient demographics from pathology slides, leading to biased results. A new training approach dramatically improves fairness without needing perfect data. Credit: Shutterstock AI can spot cancer—but it can also…
Optical chip developed in the study with laser light from an optical fiber array. Credit: Jake Freedman A new chip-scale device offers unprecedented control over laser frequencies, a key ingredient for large-scale quantum computing. Researchers…
A representation of a cell membrane (rice) with nanopores (broccoli) releasing ions (seeds). Credit: Aleksandra Radenovic/EPFL Scientists found that nanopores’ electrical charges control how ions flow and when pores temporarily shut down. The discovery could…
BISC is a paper-thin, wireless, AI-ready brain implant poised to transform both neurotherapy and human-machine interaction. Credit: Columbia Engineering A radically miniaturized brain implant called BISC is redefining what’s possible in human–computer interaction, offering a…
