| Cause of phantom limb pain in amputees, and potential treatment, identified Posted: 27 Oct 2016 09:33 AM PDT Researchers have identified the cause of chronic, and currently untreatable, pain in those with amputations and severe nerve damage, as well as a potential treatment which relies on engineering instead of drugs. |
| Metamaterial device allows chameleon-like behavior in the infrared Posted: 27 Oct 2016 09:18 AM PDT An electric current will not only heat a hybrid metamaterial, but will also trigger it to change state and fade into the background like a chameleon in what may be the proof-of-concept of the first controllable metamaterial device, or metadevice, according to a team of engineers. |
| Next-generation smartphone battery inspired by the gut Posted: 26 Oct 2016 07:27 AM PDT A new prototype of a lithium-sulphur battery -- which could have five times the energy density of a typical lithium-ion battery -- overcomes one of the key hurdles preventing their commercial development by mimicking the structure of the cells which allow us to absorb nutrients. |
