John Rogers at Northwestern University and his team have developed tiny wireless sensors inspired by floating seeds which could be used to measure environmental factors, and may also have military applications. The new flying microchip […]
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently issued a solicitation for two technical areas of the Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node (Space-BACN) project. Space-BACN will be a reconfigurable, multi-protocol, intersatellite optical communications terminal used to […]
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded Lockheed Martin Aeronautics $12.1 million US and Aurora Flight Sciences Corp. $12.4 million to begin phase-one of the Control of Revolutionary Aircraft with Novel Effectors […]
The Defense Department inspector General’s office recently published a report – Audit of the Cybersecurity of Department of Defense Additive Manufacturing Systems – warning of the potential security risks when using 3D printing – also […]
The US Army and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a smart clothing fiber that could transform uniforms into wearable computers. The electronic textiles could be used to power sensors; collect data on […]
An international team of researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS), the Australian national University (ANU), Nottingham Trent University, and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed a […]
South Korea’s Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has developed a sensor that can withstand heavy radiation and detect differences in pressure and temperature. The flexible film-like sensor is made of composite materials including graphene; […]
US Army Communications-Electronics Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD has asked four battery companies to compete to build the Conformal Wearable Battery (CWB) which will power a variety of wearable computers, sensors, and communications devices. […]
The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory is working with researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina on a new form of robotics called “biohybrids.” Biohybrid robots would use […]
Researchers from the Universities of Birmingham, Oxford, and Ghent are working on a new process that could lead to more efficient and reusable protection from shock, impact, explosion, and vibration. Dan Zhao, an expert in […]
