The US Air Force can now equip unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) systems with AI-powered face recognition technology (FRT). The FTR equipped drones will be used by special operations personnel for missions overseas, perimeter security, domestic […]
A team at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a technique of tracking human bodies through walls using WiFi signals. While the technology has already existed for a few years, the new technique has the WiFi […]
A group of researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University, and other collaborating institutions have developed hybrid bioelectronic robots, which they state are the first to combine soft materials, living muscle, and microelectronics. […]
A team at North Carolina State University has developed a soft stretchable strain sensor that combines high sensitivity, a large sensing range, and high robustness. It is capable of detecting even minor changes in strain […]
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) have developed a new method to chemically break up poly- and per-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – also called Forever Chemicals. PFAS are used to make fluoropolymer coatings and […]
Researchers at Ontario’s University of Waterloo have created a drone-powered airborne scanning device that can triangulate the location of every WiFi-connected device within a building. The device – called Wi-Peep – engages in what the […]
The School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia has put together a multidisciplinary team to create a new method for measuring neural activity using light. This […]
Researchers at the University of California San Diego Center for Wearable Sensors have created a self-powered sensor to monitor metabolites in the small intestine. The sensor could potentially help with gastrointestinal health, nutrition, diagnosis and […]
Researchers from the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) at Harvard used nature as an inspiration to create a new type of soft, robotic gripper. The robotic gripper has a network […]
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and VSLGlobal navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have created a robust and highly accurate positioning system called SuperGPS. Current positioning systems in use – such as […]
