While service robots with male characteristics can be more persuasive when interacting with some women who have a low sense of decision-making power, 'cute' design features...
New research reveals how Saharan dust impacts solar energy generation in Europe. Dust from North Africa reduces photovoltaic (PV) power output by scattering sunlight, absorbing irradiance,...
A new smart insole system that monitors how people walk in real time could help users improve posture and provide early warnings for conditions from plantar...
Researchers unlock the mystery of bound states in the continuum using compact mechanical systems.
Engineers have hit the trifecta of sustainability technology: A group has developed a low-cost method to produce carbon-free 'green' hydrogen via solar-powered electrolysis of seawater. A...
An international research team has developed mechanical metamaterials with a high elastic energy density. Highly twisted rods that deform helically provide these metamaterials with a high...
Researchers investigated how to use bio-based materials to produce effective UV protection films for solar cells. The study was the first to compare how the properties...
