Indium is one of the rarest metals on Earth, but it’s a key ingredient in ubiquitous electronic devices. Engineers have demonstrated a way to swap indium for graphene, which is made from common carbon, while retaining the same electronic properties.

Researchers say they have discovered the secrets behind remarkably tough deer antlers, attributing the robustness to a staggered arrangement of nanoscale fibers, something that could lead to similarly "unbreakable" materials down the track. ​

Four years ago, we first heard about how Korean scientists had proposed using sound to charge mobile phones. At the time, however, they couldn't generate enough of a current to actually charge one. Now, however, scientists have succeeded in doing so.

BAE Systems and Queen Mary’s School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science in London have come up with a flat lens that works like a conventional curved lens, yet without any reduction in bandwidth performance.

Andrew McPherson and Victor Zappi have designed and built a deliberately simple instrument that produces tones when a player's fingers touch, tap or slide a capacitive sensing strip on one of the wooden cube's faces.

A team of masters students from the Queen Mary, University of London are hoping to develop the world’s first sustainable multi-copter.
