A microwave radiation sensor with 100,000 times higher sensitivity than currently available commercial sensors has recently been developed. The Army partially funded the work to fabricate this bolometer – a sensitive electrical instrument for measuring […]
Researchers in the Biotechnology Research and Development Lab at the U.S. Navy’s Naval Surface Warfare Center have been issued a 20-year patent for a 3D-printable material made of a marine-biodegradable base polymer. Using a combination […]
Battery tech startup NanoGraf – formerly known as SiNode Systems – has received a $1.65 million SBIR grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to develop longer-lasting batteries that will provide better portable power for […]
Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane (NSWC Crane) Division and Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic (NIWC Atlantic) have partnered to search for new technologies in support of the Naval Integration in Contested Environments (NICE) Advanced Naval […]
DARPA has launched the Automatic Implementation of Secure Silicon (AISS) program – a four-year project seeking ways to design security features into microchips as they are being manufactured. AISS aims to automate the process of […]
Researchers at the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC) have developed a lightweight fuel tank for small-scale satellites. MiniTANK is a joint effort involving the AMRC and Oxford-based Added Value Solutions (AVS) UK […]
Researchers at Binghamton University have designed a biosolar cell that generates electricity using two types of bacteria: one is photosynthetic and the other uses the nutrients it creates. This symbiotic relationship can provide a four-day […]
Researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden have developed a proton battery based on abundant organic materials. Though lithium-ion batteries are expected to remain the favored solution for energy storage, the potential for alternate battery types […]
Researchers from the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology (CEST) in Russia have created a new cathode material based on titanium fluoride phosphate which has achieved superior energy performance and stable operation at high […]
The European Commission has approved €3.2B (~$3.5B US) of state aid to help fund new research and innovation in battery technology. The entire project is expected to be completed in 2031 and is expected to […]
