High-stress take-offs can wear out drone batteries quickly, but those batteries may still have use elsewhere.

A new innovative technology could transform the landscape of wireless communication by enhancing the efficiency of transmitting vast amounts of data across the globe.

Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital watches.

Increasingly, scientists are turning to the human brain as a model for solving computing challenges related to artificial intelligence and nanodevices. But doing so requires materials that can mimic our neural circuits at the very smallest scale.

According to a new study, an ancient group of fish called gars have the slowest rate of molecular evolution among all jawed vertebrates, meaning their genome changes more slowly than those of other animals.

Researchers have found a simpler way to collect slightly magnetic particles that contain rare-earth metals from spent fluorescent bulbs.

ETH Zurich researchers have recovered the precious metal from electronic waste. Their highly sustainable new method is based on a protein fibril sponge, which the scientists derive from whey, a food industry byproduct.

Touch is a fundamental, yet scarcely understood, sense. Now, researchers have discovered a second ion channel associated with touch perception. Elkin1 could be a target for pain therapy.

Researchers have discovered how “leaky” mitochondria – the powerhouses of our cells – can drive harmful inflammation responsible for diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

An encodable multifunctional material that can dynamically tune its shape and mechanical properties in real-time has been developed that could revolutionize soft machines.
