This textile vent regulates your body temperature by sensing sweat
An innovative new invention has recently come out of Duke University. A team of material scientists recruited physics rather than electronics, to create a ventilation system that can help regulate body temperature. The lightweight material catches thermal energy when dry to power … [Read more...] about This textile vent regulates your body temperature by sensing sweat
Laser tech could help prevent wildfires by controlling lightning strikes
While fascinating to the eye, dry lightning strikes are actually an ominous phenomenon, especially during wildfire seasons. In the past year alone, the blazes of several large bushfires in Australia and the western US are thought to have been sparked by lightning strikes. A team … [Read more...] about Laser tech could help prevent wildfires by controlling lightning strikes
Novel laser technique turns metal surfaces into instant bacteria killers
Bacteria are known to live on surfaces for days, making it really easy for them to spread from one place to the other with the help of humans. But what if frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs could instantly kill them off? Well, that may soon be possible thanks to … [Read more...] about Novel laser technique turns metal surfaces into instant bacteria killers
