New metamaterial could hide you from thermal imaging
Almost everything emits heat waves: automobiles, electrical appliances, communication lines human body and so on. And to fix this a long time ago, there are thermal imagers. But some objects it would be nice to hide from the "eye"...
At MIT have created a device that can extract water from the air even in the desert
Researchers from mit and the University of California at Berkeley has developed, and now successfully tested an innovative technology capable of extracting water from the air even in dry arid climate. The extraction of water in th...
Created superdivision, on the strength comparable to metal
Titanium alloys, perhaps, one of the most durable materials on our planet. But they have two very unpleasant drawback: they are very heavy and very expensive. Scientists from the University of Maryland (UMD) have invented an alter...
Scientists have created a metal coating destroys bacteria
a Team of researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology through a process of electrochemical etching created on the surface of the stainless steel alloy nano coating (texture of the tiny protruding spikes), kill bacteria, while...
Created fabric that is simultaneously warm and cool
Just imagine the clothes that depending on environmental conditions and is able to warm people, a refuge from the cold, and cooled if the weather is very hot. But clothes that are hard to imagine without right , and that is this f...
New metamaterial will protect astronauts from cosmic radiation
Open space is not very suitable for life of people the place. But this does not prevent earth scientists to invent new ways to protect the fragile human body against the major hazards of space. Once in space, astronauts experience...
Octopus-inspired scientists to create an underwater adhesive tape
Interesting thing – evolution. Sometimes it decides for man, the most complex from an engineering point of view tasks. The only thing is to look at nature, plants, animals and their amazing features. To take at least . These cepha...
Created a metamaterial that is capable of becoming soft upon impact
In recent years there are more various applications of so-called metamaterials. They have a number of unique properties not available «common» materials. And recently, researchers from the University of Michigan has deve...
