To climb walls, robot feet need to alternately stick and let go. A novel adhesive can do that. Its stickiness is controlled by electric fields.
Solar power is a way to harness energy from the sun, and lessen our reliance on fossil fuels.
There’s a new aurora dubbed the 'dunes.' It’s weird and joins the ranks of black auroras, STEVE and other odd natural light shows.
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology built a 'smart' surface on which to play table tennis. It can track the location, speed and direction of the ball.
Researchers have mimicked the first stages of planet formation in the lab. All they needed were glass beads and a catapult.
Shocking! A biologist reached his hand into a fish tank and let an electric eel zap him. It let him measure precisely how strong a current it could unleash to defend itself.
Researchers have created do-it-yourself temporary tattoos. They’re a fashion-forward way to control electronic devices.
A novel material can alter how easy it is to change data stored on it, based on temperature. One immediate application: more secure hard drives for computing.
