(PhysOrg.com) -- A team of engineers from Taiwan seems to have overcome one of the most persistent challenges of 3D display technology, which could enable them to produce a cinematic 3D display with superior quality compared ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- In the past decade, regenerative braking systems have become increasingly popular, recovering energy that would otherwise be lost through braking. However, another energy recovery mechanism that is still ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- While electronic devices have greatly improved in many regards, such as in storage capacity, graphics, and overall performance, etc., they still have a weight hanging around their neck: they’re huge energy ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- In urban areas, there’s almost always more than one way to get somewhere, but often it’s difficult to predict which road will be fastest. In an attempt to improve traffic flow and decrease congestion, ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- As researchers strive to increase the density and functionality of circuit elements onto computer chips, one newer option they have is a memory resistor (or “memristor”), the fourth passive circuit element. ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- As every five-year-old knows, balancing on a bicycle is not as easy as it looks. But, as engineers know, getting a bicycle to balance by itself – without a human riding it – is even more difficult.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Buzz buzz...it’s a goal for the home team! By synchronizing a cell phone’s vibrations with the ball in the field, researchers have designed a method that allows cell phone users to experience soccer games ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- In the future of immersive entertainment, people may not only walk through floating 3D images, but also manipulate the images in thin air. Taking a step toward this reality, researchers have built a prototype ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- A pair of pants may help determine if elderly individuals have a high risk of slipping and falling by sensing fluctuations in their walking gait.
Currently, we get most of our information from computers through visual and audio features. But as researchers from Korea point out, the most widespread sense on the human body is touch. While some tactile computer devices ...
