Researchers from multiple different universities and labs are working on creating a sort of guide for future projects that are centered around wearable technology. As technology advances, we continue to make things easier, faster, and more useful, and wearable technology has the potential to be the optimal combination of all of […]
Researchers have been looking into wearable devices that are based on real extensions to the bodies of other animals. By seeing how those animals operate with these extensions, we can make natural additions to the human body.
The mission of the Public Programs Volunteer Program is to support the Academy through informal and interactive educational engagement with Academy guests that inspires curiosity, learning, and action based on scientific knowledge. Volunteers accomplish this mission by engaging guests with conversations and hands-on experiences that educate and […]
OrniLux is working to create glass that protects birds from the relatively new human design of glass. As more and more birds die each year from running into glass that they simply can’t see, OrniLux is trying to solve the problem by creating glass that utilizes tiny strands inside of it […]
Researchers found that the lobster-inspired printing patterns can make stronger concrete by focusing structural strength on key internal areas. Combination with steel fibers further increased its structural strength, suggesting that it can be combined with other methods to further enhance structural strength.
This article offers insight and research on how the bipedal theropod dinosaurs from the Triassic Period gradually modified their hindlimb function and form from hip-based to knee-based locomotion and from hip-abductor to hip-rotator balancing mechanisms as inherited by birds. The researchers also discovered […]
Fungi have proven to be very biologically useful for humans, as their variety allows for new discoveries to continuously be made about them, providing constant opportunities for a discovery that may lead to a very useful product. However, an issue has arisen in that scientists are now […]
The Geosciences Bridge Program is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). It is a 6-week paid ($500/week stipend + housing + meals) internships at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) The Program provides an opportunity for graduating High School seniors, particularly from […]
Color is one of the easiest ways to convey simple messages, but when using something like an LED to represent a certain state, the LED has to be connected back to another system that does the monitoring. An international team led by scientists from the Universities of […]
This paper examines how fish adapt to changing oxygen (and salinity) levels in intertidal waters. This could be applied towards machinery by the coastline by understanding how the fish adapted to this changing environment, then using a similar design (but scaled up) to create adjustable semi-permeable materials […]
Cormorants are constantly seen drying their wings after diving for prey; therefore, Arie M. Rijke conducts a microscopic study of the feathers of some species of cormorants to study the cause of this behavior, as other water birds do not show this behavioral pattern.
