Today's autonomous vehicles rely on cameras, radar and LiDAR sensors to understand their surroundings and avoid obstacles on the road. Boston, Massachusetts-based startup Teradar believes it can beat ...
Glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRPs) and renewable natural materials, such as wood and cork, are being used ever more widely in industrial lightweight construction. Damage invisible to the naked ...
Researchers developed a frequency-comb-referenced terahertz Fabry-Pérot interferometry platform that measures lithium-ion ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer screening typically requires large, expensive equipment housed in specialized facilities. Current methods rely on chemical analysis of blood samples, microscopic ...
A few years ago, Matthew Carey lost a friend in a freak car accident, after the friend's car struck some small debris on a highway and spun out of control. Ordinarily, the car's sensors would have ...
A terahertz quantum detector that once required bulky optics and an entire optical bench now fits on a chip small enough for portable scanning equipment. A team based at the University of Cambridge ...
Early detection and accurate typing of cancer are critical for improving patient survival rates. While traditional pathology remains the gold standard, it often requires complex sample processing and ...
Plastics have replaced the materials used previously in many application areas. Above all, fibre-composite materials are very well suited to producing components with precisely defined properties.
