The key to beating the heat is degrading the materials in advance.
Research
Heat-resistant nanophotonic material could help turn heat into electricity
Shutting down backup genes leads to cancer remission, in mice
Cancer cells delete DNA when they go to the dark side, so a team of doctors and engineers targeted the “backup plans” running critical cell functions.
First light at the most powerful laser in the US
The ZEUS laser at the University of Michigan has begun its commissioning experiments
$5M to enable remote, next-generation autonomous vehicle testing at Mcity
‘Mcity 2.0’ will give researchers, many without testing resources, remote access to the Mcity Test Facility—creating a more equitable playing field in mobility.
Walking and slithering aren’t as different as you think
New mathematical model links up slithering with some kinds of swimming and walking, and it could make programming many-legged robots easier.
Photosynthesis copycat may improve solar cells
The new approach moves energy efficiently and could reduce energy losses converting light into electricity.
