Researchers at Stanford University have developed a spring-assisted actuator that can augment electric motors to make them much more efficient at performing dynamic movements. The standard electric motor was designed for steady, ongoing activities, not Read More
A research team led by Professor Junsuk Rho of the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) has developed a metasurface display technology that enables holograms to display multiple images based on the observer’s viewing Read More
Researchers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have developed new soft, autonomous robots – called twisted ringbots – that could be used to efficiently navigate and map unknown environments. The twisted ringbots are capable of Read More
A team at Johns Hopkins University has found that mild electrical stimulation of the cerebellum greatly improves the transfer of virtual reality training to real-world tasks. This study offers the first look at how stimulating Read More
RoboChem – a self-operating chemical synthesis robot equipped with an AI-based machine-learning system – is the latest creation of a research team from the University of Amsterdam (UvA). RoboChem functions as a precise and reliable Read More
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have created a graphene based, ultra-sensitive sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of lead ions in water. The device is capable of a record limit of Read More
Engineers at the University of Colorado of Boulder and Sandia National Laboratories have developed a new design for padding that can better withstand strong impacts than conventional materials. The new padding could be used wherever Read More
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology developed a functional semiconductor made from graphene. Their new semiconductor is compatible with conventional microelectronics processing methods, which was a requirement for any viable alternative to the use Read More
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new type of mechanical sensor that could eliminate the need for batteries to power sensors that require a constant supply of power. Their new sensor is powered by Read More
DARPA is entering the first phase of its Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay program (POWER) which will seek to power an entire drone swarm – including its directed-energy weapons – using lasers. According to DARPA’s Read More
