Ground breaking lens opens new possibilities in virtual and augmented reality
Harvard Engineers have created a ground-breaking lens. This new single 'metalens' can focus all colours of the rainbow in one point opening up new possibilities for virtual and augmented reality technology. The team of researchers from Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have...
Nanomachines engineered to drill into cancer cells killing them in just 60 seconds
An international team, including bio-engineers from Durham University, have used motorised molecules driven by light to drill holes in the membranes of cancer cells - killing them. The new technique could mean new therapeutic methods to bring medicines directly into the cells or allow doctors to target and...
Tiny crystals & nanowires join forces to split water
Scientists are working on a new technology which uses nanowires and crystals to split water into its oxygen and hydrogen, potentially revolutionising the energy industry. The technique, proposed by a team of scientists at the University at Buffalo, could radically alter our approach to clean energy. The technology,...
