Optically Rewritable LCD Could Enable Flexible Displays

Engineers have manufactured a flexible, optically rewritable liquid crystal display that is about as thin as a piece of paper. The flexible display technology could be a breakthrough in printed media.

Scientists Construct Biocomputer Made From Living Human Cells

Using nine different cell populations assembled into 3D cultures, the team of synthetic biologists has managed to get them to behave like a very simple electronic computational circuit.

The terahertz computer chip is now within reach

Following three years of extensive research, physicists have created technology that will enable our computers to run 100 times faster through terahertz microchips.

Light-emitting device opens the possibility for 'invisible' displays

Engineers have built a bright - light emitting device that is fully transparent when turned off. The light emitting material in this device is a monolayer semiconductor, which is just three atoms thick.

MIT’s Biomimetic Soft Robot Swims With the Fishes

The lifelike movements of the robot mean it can navigate aquatic environments without triggering any discernible alarm among marine life.

New design produces true lithium-air battery

Researchers have designed a new lithium-air battery that works in a natural-air environment and still functioned after a record-breaking 750 charge/discharge cycles.

World's First Mass-Produced, 3D-Printed Car is Electric

Three-dimensional printed cars will soon find their way to driveways and cul-de-sacs all across the world as the first mass-produced vehicle of its kind aims to revolutionize the auto industry.

IBM Unveils "World's Smallest Computer"

In the next five years, tiny computers - smaller than a grain of salt - will be tackling issues of counterfeit and food safety among others, tech giant IBM has predicted.

XPRIZE Aims for Robot Avatars That Let You See, Hear, and Feel by 2021

The XPRIZE Foundation launches $10 million competition to build robot avatars that can be controlled from at least 100 kilometers away.

Japan Will Deploy the World’s Most Powerful Supercomputer Dedicated to Fusion Science

The Cray XC50 supercomputer's mission is to advance nuclear fusion research and development.

New 3D-printed house can be built in less than a day for just $4,000

ICON and New Story are working together on affordable 3D-printed housing for developing countries, and can print a home for $4,000 in a day.

By 2020 The Biggest Airplane Taxis Could Be Launching Rockets

In 2011, Stratolaunch Systems was founded with a simple goal: to reduce the costs of rocket launches by creating the world’s largest air-launch-to-orbit system. Recently, their aircraft reached a major milestone.

Driverless cars now really without a driver in California, US tests

California has paved the way for testing driverless cars without a person behind a steering wheel. The tests are made possible as a result of new rules that state regulators have approved for autonomous driving.

A lithium battery that operates at -70 degrees Celsius, a record low

The findings could aid engineers in developing technology suited to withstand the coldest reaches of outer space or the most frigid regions on Earth.
