A hair-sized probe that can measure key indicators of tissue damage deep in the lung has been developed by scientists.
The new technology could pave the way for accurate monitoring of tissue in areas where existing technologies cannot reach.
Experts say the probe...
Researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping University, have developed the world's first complementary electrochemical logic circuits that can function stably for long periods in water. This is a highly significant breakthrough in the development of bioelectronics.
The first...
A 'self-eating' rocket engine which could place small satellites in orbit more easily and more affordably is under development at universities in Scotland and Ukraine.
In a paper published in the Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, engineers from the University...

Here's how to build a whirligig: Thread a loop of twine through two holes in a button. Grab the loop ends, then rhythmically pull. As the twine coils and uncoils, the button spins at a dizzying speed.
Now,...
The schematic at left shows the design for an experimental transistor made of a semiconductor called beta gallium oxide, which could bring new ultra-efficient switches for applications such as the power grid, military ships and aircraft. At right is...
