New AR Technology Can Transform Any Surface into a Keyboard

Tech, Virtual Reality /

Virtual keyboards are a frequent source of frustration for augmented reality (AR) users. The virtual surfaces are slow and error prone, and raising an arm to type on them can cause muscle strain known as “gorilla arm.” Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas have developed a novel AR interface that enhances virtual typing

The Challenges and Triumphs of Space Research

Astronomy, Space & Environment /

The microgravity encountered during spaceflight can threaten astronauts’ cardiovascular health. Finding effective ways to reduce these risks is difficult because countermeasures are typically evaluated under Earth’s gravity. But what if research could be conducted in microgravity conditions without having to leave the atmosphere? Texas A&M Researchers Test Microgravity in France Researchers from Texas A&M University

New Reactor Recycles Battery Waste into Lithium Feedstock

Engineering, Material & Energy, Material Technology /

As electric vehicle use rises worldwide, discarded battery packs are rapidly turning into a significant waste source. Lithium is expensive to extract, and most existing recycling techniques consume substantial energy and chemicals, typically yielding lithium carbonate that still requires additional processing to become reusable lithium hydroxide. Instead of smelting or leaching shredded battery material (“black
