Researchers at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) have developed a new method to chemically break up poly- and per-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – also called Forever Chemicals. PFAS are used to make fluoropolymer coatings and Read More
Professor Nicky Eshtiaghi and her team at RMIT University in Australia have developed a way to rapidly remove hazardous microplastics from water using magnets. Methods currently in use for removing toxins from water are expensive Read More
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have created a lightweight, ultra-shock-absorbing foam that could be used to greatly improve protective headgear. The new material is an architected, vertically aligned carbon nanotube foam which has unique Read More
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have created a new plastic-like material which can change its elasticity with the application of a catalyst. It’s hoped that the new material will eventually be used Read More
Researchers at the University of British Columbia have created a nano-copper coating that can kill bacteria on surfaces more quickly and in greater amounts than existing coatings. The anti-bacterial and self-sanitizing coatings currently in use Read More
Ghost Robotics’ robot dog – Vision 60 – has been deployed on patrol at the Tyndall Air Force base for almost two years. Vision 60 now has the capability of swimming. Vision 60 is already Read More
The Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Solder Center has issued a request for information (RFI) for the Powered and Unpowered Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation During Maneuver or Logistics Support Activities project. The project is Read More
The UK Ministry of Defense is working with Elbit Systems UK and Affinity Flying Training Services on a series of battery-powered flight tests to assess the feasibility of using environmentally friendly alternatives to power military Read More
The Air Force Research Laboratory is seeking companies to develop advanced-technology, inexpensive electro-optical sensors for small disposable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The Low-Cost Optical Systems Technology (LOW-COST) project aims to reduce the cost, size, and Read More
Researchers at the University of Groningen have designed a drone with legs that feature four 3D-printed talons. Inspired by the peregrine falcon – an apex predator that uses its talons to grasp prey – the Read More
