Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have discovered a method for improving the energy efficiency of lithium ion batteries. The researchers bombarded graphite in an ultra-high vacuum environment with ions to create Read More
Researchers at MIT have developed an ingestible sensor equipped with genetically engineered bacteria, that can diagnose bleeding in the stomach or other gastrointestinal problems. Called a “bacteria-on-a-chip”, the technology combines sensors made from living cells Read More
Orlando, Florida-based startup Luminar is making lidar sensors that will serve as the “eyes” of self-driving cars. The sensors will cost several hundred dollars apiece, while most Lidar sensors cost tens of thousands of dollars Read More
Researchers from the University of California San Diego are set to launch a pilot clinical trial of a noninvasive, low-cost, single-use tattoo-like wearable that measures the user’s glucose levels. The sensor is flexible and ultra-thin, Read More
In a demonstration experiment, Japan’s Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) recently used the smallest rocket ever to launch a satellite into orbit. The agency modified an SS-520 sounding rocket with an extra third stage in the Read More
Canada has invested $2.7M ($2.1M USD) into developing quantum radar – a new technology that would greatly improve the detection of stealth aircraft. Quantum radar can theoretically detect objects with a greater level of accuracy Read More
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory is collaborating with the University of Minnesota to explore the potential uses of soft robots – where machines are built not of steel, but of highly compliant plastics. Robots in Read More
