Researchers led by Andrew Rae of the University of the Highlands and Islands Perth College in Scotland have developed and flown the first aircraft powered by variable-buoyancy propulsion. The ‘Phoenix’ demonstrator aircraft uses a technology […]
The U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center has chosen Rockwell Collins to provide its latest-generation Digital GPS Anti-Jam Receiver (DIGAR) for its Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve F-16 aircraft operating in contested, […]
A recently approved directive by the U.S. Navy has formally elevated electronic warfare and the underlying electromagnetic spectrum to the status of a “warfighting battle space” equivalent to its sea, air, land, space, and cyber […]
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee have demonstrated a wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging system that transfers 120 kW of power with a 97% efficiency – […]
Researchers from the Green IC research group at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have invented a low-cost battery-less wake-up timer that significantly reduces power consumption of silicon chips for Internet of Things (IoT) sensor […]
Researchers at Penn State have developed a three-dimensional, cross-linked polymer sponge that attaches to the metal plating of a battery anode in order to create longer-lasting, faster-charging, and safer lithium metal batteries. The work was […]
Researchers at the GFZ Research Center for Geosciences are working on developing a new generation of portable, inexpensive gravimeters (a type of accelerometer that is used to precisely measure local gravitational field strength) for real-time […]
The US Army has awarded Harris Corp. and Thales Defense a contract for a two-channel leader software-defined radio that will allow commanders on the ground to switch frequencies if one is being jammed by adversaries. […]
SRC, Inc., has been awarded a $32M contract to provide the US Army with next-generation, multi-mission, electronic warfare systems. SRC will provide a range of research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) services that will extend […]
We had the privilege of getting to know Dr. Roger Billings, Founder and CEO of CybrSecurity Corporation. While he is perhaps best known for inventing the first hydrogen-powered car, for the past 30 years he […]
