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 The University of Tokyo recently introduced SPIDAR – a SPherIcally vectorable and Distributed rotors assisted Air-ground amphibious quadruped Robot. SPIDAR is a novel air-ground amphibious quadruped robot that has multimodal locomotion capability […]
Researchers at Rice University have developed an engineered wood that is stronger than its natural counterparts and can sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surrounding air. To accomplish this, the team delignified – disintegrated the […]
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. […]
Researchers from the Australian Research Council Center of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) have developed a tiny nitrogen dioxide sensor that could help protect the environment from vehicle pollutants that cause health problems and […]
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 […]
The production of green hydrogen is highly valued as the process uses electrolyzers and electricity exclusively from renewable sources. Unfortunately, green hydrogen production costs are at least 30% higher than those of blue hydrogen – […]
Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have developed an electronic patch that can monitor biomolecules within deep tissues. It’s hoped that this patch will allow medical workers unprecedented access to crucial information […]
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have developed a method to convert plastic waste into a highly porous form of charcoal or char. The char they created has a surface area of about 400 […]
