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 Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) – working with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the University of Colorado Boulder – has built a superconducting camera containing 400,000 pixels – 400 times more 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
An international team of researchers, led by Pennsylvania State University, has taken a large step towards the creation of artificial muscles by developing a new ferroelectric polymer that efficiently converts electrical energy into mechanical strain. 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
Researchers at the University of South Australia (UniSA) have partnered with Australia’s Department of Defense, Insight Via Artificial Intelligence, and the University of Adelaide to study the use of commercially available smartwatches and wearable devices Read More
DARPA recently released a broad agency announcement for the Tellus project, a 2.5-year, single-phase program which seeks to develop microbe-based sensors to monitor for existing and emerging threats, pollutants, or other changing environmental conditions. Currently, Read More
The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago has developed a stretchable light-emitting material that will enable the creation of truly flexible display screens. The new material can stretch more than Read More
