‘Smart’ clothing that boosts wearable tech connectivity and battery life by 1,000 times

Most of today’s wearable devices are singularly connected to a user’s smartphone and transmit data via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signals. These waves radiate outwards in all directions and most of the energy is lost to the surrounding area. This drastically reduces the efficiency of the wearable technology as most of its battery life is consumed […]

Harvesting clean water from moist air

Huge amounts of water evaporate from water surfaces such as reservoirs and the open sea each day. To address this issue, especially in water scarce areas, researchers from NUS found an innovative way to harvest water from the humid air above water surfaces. The solution lies in a unique zinc-based water-absorbing hydrogel that was developed last […]
