Researchers from the A*STAR’s Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) developed a new manufacturing system of next generation Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) which could dramatically improve the way small electronic devices keep cool. Named liquid forging, the new technique has taken the first leap from research laboratory towards the global market in high-powered lighting. Many… »

Using the compound eyes of the humble moth as their inspiration, an international team of physicists from the City University of New York and Tongji University in Shanghai applied biomimicry to develop new nanoscale materials that could someday increase the resolution of the resulting X-ray images without the need for larger radiation dosages which occur… »

Researchers from the Hohenstein Institute in Bönnigheim developed a system that can be used to prevent neurological damage after successful resuscitation of a cardiac arrest. It is a relatively simple and non-invasive method which employs surface cooling of the body without the need for  electric power. That makes these textile cooling pads ideal as additional… »

As we previously mentioned in many of our articles about architecture, abundance of daylight  is very important since it influences our mood and efficiency since it stimulates the brain. Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute have worked with industry partners to develop a coating for panes of glass that lets through more light at wavelengths which… »

Unlike Alcoa EcoClean coating for panels which was developed to clean the air around us, the researchers from the Fraunhofer Photocatalysis Alliance, which includes researchers from ten Fraunhofer institutes, have decided to combine their expertise in this field to use titanium dioxide particles in a coating which could be used to destroy bacteria, fungi and… »

Shopping for groceries in supermarkets can sometimes be very exhausting, especially if they pile up similarly looking goods near each other. On the other hand, if you are exploring new products, you might have ended looking at the whole isle of products you haven’t tried before, and you don’t know does their composition suit your… »

We recently published an article about Canon’s vision of augmented reality which can be used during the design process, and in this article we’re going to write about idea which emerged from cooperation between Fraunhofer Institute and BASF SE who are jointly developing virtual reality (VR) software which could be used to plan and test… »

Many research groups around the world are developing new ways to present media and improve information interaction, ranging from images projected onto fog to various solutions regarding holography, but an international team of researchers managed to produce Colloidal Display – a display that uses ultrasonic sound waves to alter soap film’s properties in order to… »
