Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a floating, solar-powered device that can turn contaminated water or seawater into clean hydrogen fuel and purified water. The technology has potential for use in areas which Read More
The Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) has discovered an efficient and inexpensive catalytic process for the creation of ethanol fuel cells. Ethanol fuel cells are regarded as a Read More
Dr. Qiushi Guo of CUNY has demonstrated a novel approach for creating high-performance ultrafast lasers on nanophotonic chips. His work is focussed on miniaturizing mode-locked lasers – unique lasers that emit a train of ultrashort, Read More
A team from the University of Barcelona has trained a group of mini robots to reach a consensus on tasks by copying processes displayed by honeybees. The study could lead to the development of “simple Read More
The National Science Agency of Australia (CSIRO) has made a technological breakthrough in the use of concentrated solar thermal technology (CST). CST uses large mirrors or lenses to focus sunlight onto a narrow region known as Read More
A team of engineers from The University of Manchester has designed and flown the world’s largest drone – the Giant Foam board Quadcopter (GFQ). GFQ has a wingspan of 21 ft (6.4m) and weighs just Read More
Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) are developing a humanoid robot pilot that can fly an aircraft without modifying the cockpit. The robot – called “Pibot” (PIlot+roBOT) – is a Read More
A team from Rice University’s George R. Brown School of Engineering has developed a readily scalable, new priming method that improves battery life by up to 44%. The method optimizes prelithiation, which introduces extra active Read More
A team from Brown University’s School of Engineering have built Pleobot – a krill-inspired robot with the potential of serving as a foundation for building small, highly maneuverable underwater robots. Krill are small crustaceans found Read More
The University of Bristol’s Department of Engineering Mathematics is working with simple sponges to enhance the way robots grasp objects. The use of an easy-to-make sponge-jamming device can assist stiff robots handle delicate items carefully Read More
