Take an insider look into the publishing world at the upcoming Writer’s Studio event: Meet the Editors, April 8th at 15:00- 16:30. An interdisciplinary panel will answer your questions regarding what it takes to get published.

PROMYS is working on medical electronic systems that can measure both chemical and biological parameters in patients and in the environment. The scientists are testing new functional materials and microelectronic chips...

This talk gives an introduction to the general scope of work undertaken within the SCHARF research effort. SCHARF is a large cluster project investigating relationships between structures and defects at atomistic, microscopic and mesoscopic length scales ...

Cognitive science combines ideas and methods from multiple fields to address important questions about thinking and behavior. Climate change raises psychological questions that require interdisciplinary answers. Why do almost all scientists believe that global warming is caused by ...

DNA mechanotechnology is particularly well suited for measuring and controlling piconewton (pN)–scale forces. In this talk, I will describe our efforts aimed at the development of nucleic acid force sensors and motors. In the area of force sensors, I will show exciting new advances in....

Kinetic building skins that dynamically adjust their physical properties or shapes according to outdoor conditions can improve a building's environmental performance. New engineered materials provide a new conceptual and practical framework for designers to...

Pint of Science describes the international (non-profit) organisation of festivals that bring some of the most brilliant scientists to your local pub to discuss their latest research and findings with you...

Insect-machine hybrid robot, also known as cyborg insect or insect biobot is a fusion of a living insect platform and a miniature control backpack mounted on its body. Using living insect as platform helps us to bypass complicated design and fabrication process for robot structure and ...

LiMC2 will be hosting an interactive research webinar on Future Directions in Adaptive Architecture, with the goal of connecting researchers from both the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Freiburg...

Nature is masterful at using limited components and basic driving forces to achieve complex tasks, such as high power movement and multi-structure assembly, across a broad range of size scales. The materials that enable these achievements often...

After an overview of the basics of energy storage in batteries, the most promising electrochemical operando characterization techniques for battery materials and electrodes will be discussed.
