Lower printing temperatures cut defects in aluminum 3D-printed parts, as faster cooling produced finer grain structures while thermal conditions kept shifting through each new layer. @AdmissionsUoM techxplore.com/news/2026-07-t…

A beam stayed nearly still only when two unstable forces switched every 218–238 milliseconds, showing stability can emerge with no sensors or real-time correction. @NYUTandon @NatureComms techxplore.com/news/2026-07-s…

Paint-on skin electrodes dried in under 10 minutes tracked heart signals for 12 hours and stayed accurate during exercise, using colorful conductive ink that can be washed off and reapplied. @penn_state @PNASNews techxplore.com/news/2026-07-p…

Even infinite data can’t make some AI predictions reliable: in certain layered problems, the best any algorithm can do is 50/50, and the new framework maps where learning fails. @Cambridge_Uni @NatureComms techxplore.com/news/2026-07-l…

Over 99.999% similarity held even with 39% faulty devices, as a new matrix-mapping method let memristor analog in-memory hardware compute accurately without fixing the defects. @NatureElectron techxplore.com/news/2026-07-m…

Battery-like direct air capture pulls CO2 from air using electricity and saltwater, then releases it in purified form—without the heat many carbon-capture systems rely on. @UofIllinois @EnvSciTech techxplore.com/news/2026-07-b…

Up to 1.8 liters of drinking water per day from 1 kilogram of porous material: a carbon-enhanced MOF pulls moisture from air as dry as 18% humidity in short cycles. techxplore.com/news/2026-07-p…

Passed all 15 NIST randomness tests and stayed stable across 2 million cycles, this light-driven device generates ternary true random numbers in real time from unpredictable trapped charges. @advmater techxplore.com/news/2026-07-d…

Up to 56% lower CO2: a compostable circuit board made from citric acid waste can carry electronic components, though its electrical performance still trails standard PCBs. @TUBergakademie techxplore.com/news/2026-07-c…

A new catalyst cut hydrogen crossover in alkaline water electrolyzers by 95% and ran for more than 1,000 hours, targeting a key safety risk without reducing performance. @NatureEnergyJnl techxplore.com/news/2026-07-c…

A soft sensor worked in 90°C water and pressure like 11 meters underwater while turning touch directly into robotic action with no electronics or external energy. @NUSingapore @ScienceAdvances techxplore.com/news/2026-07-s…

Keeping a carbon dioxide catalyst at under 1% current during standby preserved performance for 750 hours and cut costs about 25%, avoiding damage that appeared during full shutdowns. @wustl @NatureCatalysis techxplore.com/news/2026-07-c…

Solvent polarity gave Lewis-paired dopants fine control without sacrificing strength or stability, with ethyl acetate enabling tunable doping even in hard-to-dope organic semiconductors. @advmater techxplore.com/news/2026-07-m…

10,000 times fewer operations let a cerebellum-inspired device flag abnormal heart rhythms within one-fifth of a heartbeat at more than 98% accuracy—by ignoring the routine and reacting only when signals shift. @northwesternu @NatureComms @NatureElectron techxplore.com/news/2026-07-b…

Force-aware testing exposed performance gaps standard robot benchmarks missed: all four humanoid control systems stayed upright without loads, but their scores dropped once real interaction forces were replayed. @arxiv techxplore.com/news/2026-07-h…

At a very slow C/60 charge, a working solid-state battery still split into two lithium states at once, revealing uneven charging deep inside a thick electrode. @ILLGrenoble techxplore.com/news/2026-07-n…

A new pellet-making method produced more reliable PBX prills, with final part strength tied more to prill size and shape than solvent choice. @Livermore_Lab techxplore.com/news/2026-07-p…

Eight small robotic boats repeatedly assembled into larger floating structures, reconfigured, and then moved as one vessel in four to eight minutes, with most coordination handled locally. @MIT @NatureComms techxplore.com/news/2026-07-s…

A new robot went from box to teleoperation in about two hours with an open-source framework built to move AI across robotic arms, humanoids, and other platforms without rebuilding core software. @carnegiemellon techxplore.com/news/2026-07-i…

Sharing just one trait with a job-interview avatar made AI rejections feel least fair, more than matching on both gender and skin color or on neither. @TU_Muenchen techxplore.com/news/2026-07-a…
