​Imagine if a bandage could release fresh doses of medication over time, or even different types of medication at specific times. Well, researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Harvard Medical School and MIT have developed just such a thing … and it could be controlled by a smartphone.

Physicists have created the brightest light ever produced on Earth, and it could be the first step towards more powerful X-rays. The researchers focused their Diocles Laser to a brightness a billion times that of the Sun, and found a change in the fundamental physics of how light enables vision.

Electronics don't work well in heat, which is a problem because heat is a byproduct of electricity. Researchers have developed a thermal diode that runs on heat instead of electricity. This could lead to heat-resistant computers that function in hot places like on Venus or deep inside the Earth.

After a male fishing spider mates, he dies and his female partner eats him. New research out of the the University of Nebraska-Lincoln postulates that the macabre ritual might have to do with ensuring healthy and abundant offspring.

Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have been developing a drone that ignites controlled burns from the air, and the team has now carried out real-world testing of the technology.

A team of scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is developing a laser-based X-ray machine that can image a uranium disk the size of a stack of three US nickels hidden between three-inch (7.6 cm) steel panels.​

A team at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is developing a new drone that could be used to prevent wildfires by igniting and monitoring controlled burns remotely.

A team of engineering students and faculty at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have devised several systems that harness power from railway tracks. They could be used to illuminate warning lights at rural railway crossings.

The PoNS device is designed to restore lost brain functions by stimulating the patient's tongue.

Roboticists have developed a quadrotor that can charge devices while hovering near them.

Scientists have used waste chicken feathers to create a strong, water-resistant thermopolastic film.
