Printing trees for energy
VTT, the applied research arm of Finland’s Ministry of Employment and Economy, has 3-D-printed miniature “trees” that turn sunlight, wind and even changes in temperature into useful energy. The gadgets, resembling hand-sized tree leaves, layer polymers and electrodes to create small photovoltaic cells. The devices also make electricity when they vibrate, which happens when the...

Then came the bigger finding: They realized the program had learned more effectively than they had taught it. The researchers gave the program instructions for...
See me, feel me, touch me
Bioengineers at the University of Pittsburgh have created a robotic arm that can, for the first time, detect sensations on its surface and send the information directly to the brain. The device replaces sensory feelings – rough, smooth, hard, soft and so on – that people with damaged spinal cords can’t detect. The research team...

Curing antibiotic resistance
More and more bacteria are proving resistant to today’s arsenal of antibiotics. But researchers from the University of Oklahoma, St. Louis University and University of Tennessee may have cracked the problem. The team used a supercomputer to identify molecules in cells that disrupt bacterial proteins. They’re called efflux pumps, a major cause of antibiotic resistance....
Vaping yourself to death
Moderate exposure to e-cigarettes’ vapors kills the cells in your mouth that protect the body from dangerous bacteria, according to a new study from the Université Laval’s dental school. Researchers put epithelial cells, which line the mouth and repel bacteria, into a chamber and pumped in two five-second puffs of e-vapor each minute for 15...
