Using nanostructured glass, researchers at the University of Southampton have experimentally demonstrated the recording and retrieval processes of five dimensional digital data by femtosecond laser writing. Dubbed as the ‘Superman’ memory crystal’, since the glass memory has been compared to the “memory crystals” used in the Superman movies, a disc can store 360 TB of… »
Student team at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) presented the world’s first solar-powered family car. This is the first ‘energy-positive car’ with room for four people, a trunk, intuitive steering, and a range of 600 kilometers (372 miles). Named ‘Stella’ after the Latin word for “star”, the car is user friendly and comfortable, and… »
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are slowly fighting their way into the display market since there are various reports about improvements in their production, efficiency, and longevity. This article covers two recent advancements from European research groups – one inventing new modeling technique that can predict the output color and second group that came with… »
Collaboration between researchers from the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and the researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) resulted with the development of a special treatment for cotton fabric that allows it to absorb exceptional amounts of water from misty air. Since the coated cotton releases the collected water by itself when it… »
Surgery performed on eyes, such as retina repairs or treating a detached retina, demands high precision. Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) researcher has developed a smart eye-surgery robot that allows eye surgeons to operate with increased ease and greater precision. The system also extends the effective period during which ophthalmologists can carry out these delicate… »
Bone consists of fibers of collagen in which calcium phosphate is deposited in the form of nanocrystals. The team of dr. Nico Sommerdijk (Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry) consisting of researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and the University of Illinois was able to mimic the growth of calcium phosphate inside the collagen… »
