Sweating on Command with Artificial Skin

Following the breakthrough with their first sweating artificial skin two years ago, Danqing Liu’s multidisciplinary team hasn’t been sitting still. Their goal: artificial skin that sweats as naturally as possible. There, they explain how they managed to be the first

3D Print Sensors for Satellites

MIT scientists have created the first completely digitally manufactured plasma sensors for orbiting spacecraft. These plasma sensors, also known as retarding potential analyzers (RPAs), are used by satellites to determine the chemical composition and ion energy distribution of the atmosphere.

Breakthrough in Rechargeable Silicon Batteries

A team of researchers from the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology has developed a proof-of-concept for novel rechargeable silicon (Si) batteries, as well as its design and architecture that enables Si to be reversibly discharged and charged.
