- Battery SaverFrustrated by how quickly the battery drains in your electronic devices? A new engineering innovation may one day dramatically extend the time you can stay unplugged.0 min
- R U Watching This?Do you want to invest the time to watch tomorrow’s N-C-A-A basketball final? Maybe not if it’s a blowout. Then again, what if it’s the game of the year?0 min
- Hydropower AnywhereYou don’t need dams, waterfalls, or waves to get hydroelectric power anymore. A new technology is tapping energy from even slow-moving streams.0 min
- Stress SensorIt’s not always easy to know when a person is agitated or excited. Sometimes you may not even know when you are. So a new wearable device has been engineered to detect stress, bad or good.0 min
- Milky PlasticThe foam packaging that protects your new stuff is, of course, thrown away immediately…then lasts forever as trash. But if you’ve “got milk,” it might be made biodegradable.0 min
- Capturing Heat EnergyA newly engineered material may allow waste heat to be turned into energy at unprecedented efficiencies.0 min
