“New concept based on fluoride ions may increase battery lifespans Imagine not having to charge your phone or laptop for weeks. That is the dream of researchers looking into alternative batteries that go beyond the current lithium-ion versions popular today …
“Caltech engineers create an optical gyroscope smaller than a grain of rice Mechanical versus Optical Gyroscopes Gyroscopes are devices that help vehicles, drones, and wearable and handheld electronic devices know their orientation in three-dimensional space. They are commonplace in just …
“Spiros Michalakis, manager of outreach and staff researcher at Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), and Matthew Hastings, a researcher at Microsoft, have solved one of the world’s most challenging open problems in the field of …
“New noninvasive technique for precisely controlling brain circuits could one day help treat neurological conditions. In the maze of our brains, there are various pathways by which neural signals travel. These pathways can go awry in patients with neurological and …
“Electrical and medical engineering researchers create device that makes it easier to measure pressure inside the eyes of people at risk for glaucoma. Researchers at Caltech have developed an implantable pressure sensor that can reside in the human eye for …
“Caltech’s “fine-toothed” optical comb contributes to a fomenting technological revolution In 2014, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched the Direct On-Chip Digital Optical Synthesizer (DODOS) program, with the goal of finding a way to synthesize optical frequencies …
“New robot concept uses responsive materials to swim through water Engineers at Caltech and ETH Zurich have developed robots capable of self-propulsion without using any motors, servos, or power supply. Instead, these first-of-their-kind devices paddle through water as the material …
“Synthesizing organic scaffolds that contain metal ions enables 3-D printing of metallic structures that are orders of magnitude smaller than previously possible For the first time, it is possible to create complex nanoscale metal structures using 3-D printing, thanks to …
“Caltech and Disney Research have entered into a joint research agreement to pioneer robotic control systems and further explore artificial intelligence technologies. The agreement creates a framework that will allow researchers and engineers at Caltech and Disney Research to easily …
“Engineers at Caltech and ETH Zürich in Switzerland have created a method to systematically design metamaterials using principles of quantum mechanics. Their work could pave the way for wider use of metamaterials in more mainstream applications by creating a purpose-driven …
