With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) era, strong demand has grown for wearable and transparent displays that can be applied to various fields such as augmented reality (AR) and skin-like thin flexible devices. However, previous flexible transparent displays have posed real challenges to overcome, which are, among others, poor transparency and low electrical performance. To improve the transparency and performance, past research efforts have tried to use inorganic-based electronics, but the fundamental thermal instabilities of plastic substrates have hampered the high temperature process, an essential step necessary for the fabrication of high performance electronic devices.

Mimicking nature’s most elegant designs has become a popular method for creating equally elegant robots (close, anyway) — but using nature’s raw materials, too? That’s what researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute have done, creating a tiny light-controlled stingray with a solid gold skeleton that moves using reconstituted rat muscles. O brave new world!

The web is a little fucked up right now. Governments are spying on civilians, some block specific websites, and companies like Amazon have a stranglehold on the cloud services business. But what if we could create a decentralized web, with more privacy, less government control, and less corporate influence?

Researchers at Penn State University are working on a way to make repairing clothes easier—by letting it repair itself. This is thanks to a liquid combination made from bacteria and yeast that can help most fabrics bind together. The results of this research are detailed in a recent issue of ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

For years now, scientists have been working to make cells into computers. It’s a logical goal; cells store information in something roughly approximating memory, they behave due to the strict, rules-based expression of programming in response to stimuli, and they can carry out operations with astonishing speed. Each cell contains enough physical complexity to theoretically be quite a powerful computing unit all on its own, but each is also small enough to pack by the millions into tiny physical spaces. With a fully realized ability to program cell behavior as reliably as we do computer behavior, there’s no telling what biological computing could accomplish.

Le concept de la feuille bionique capable de reproduire la photosynthèse n’est pas nouveau. Toutefois, la dernière version conçue par des chercheurs de l’université d’Harvard, aux États-Unis, est dix fois plus efficace que la photosynthèse naturelle. Elle peut non seulement servir à alimenter des piles à combustible mais aussi produire différents combustibles liquides. Le système serait suffisamment abouti pour envisager des applications commerciales.
