Engineers demonstrate how ‘network cookies’ could allow internet users to request preferential delivery from any network or content provider, thus preserving open internet access.
Stanford engineers have invented a technology that would allow an internet user to tell network providers...
NYU chemists and their colleagues have developed a method to yield highly detailed, three-dimensional images of the insides of batteries. Shown here is a 3D image of the inside of a lithium cell after charging and showing dendrite growth--deposits...

The ubiquity of smartphones and their sophisticated gadgetry make them an ideal tool to steal sensitive data from 3-D printers.
That's according to a new University at Buffalo study...
Web-dwelling spiders have poor vision and rely almost exclusively on web vibrations for their 'view' of the world.

Formation of microcircuit lines using a selective coating technique. (a) Schematic of selective coating technique. Only a hydrophilic region created through irradiation of parallel vacuum ultraviolet (PVUV) is coated with metal ink. (b) Electronic circuit with a line width...
Stanford researchers began with a sheet of polyethylene and modified it with a series of chemical treatments, resulting in a cooling fabric.Credit: L.A. Cicero
Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, plastic-based textile that, if woven into clothing, could cool your...
It is now possible for machines to learn how natural or artificial systems work by simply observing them, without being told what to look for, according to researchers at the University of Sheffield.
This could mean advances in the world...
An illustration shows what happens in a typical experiment with SLAC’s LCLS X-ray laser, top, versus what happened in this study with an especially intense X-ray pulse. Normally the X-ray pulses -- which are shown coming in from the...
In a paper presented today at the Association for Computing Machinery's special interest group on data communication (SIGCOMM) conference in Florianópolis, Brazil, a team of computer science researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst led by professor Deepak Ganesan...
