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
A research team at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a very safe, aqueous, rechargeable battery, advancing the possibility of commercializing the technology. Aqueous rechargeable batteries – which use low-cost and Read More
The first fire-resistant, onsite-built, concrete accessory dwelling unit (ADU) will soon be constructed in Northern California using a robotic 3D printer. ADUs can be a cost-effective way to address the current housing shortage issue in Read More
The formation of ice on wind turbine rotor blades causes a variety of problems, including rotational imbalance which leads to increased wear and tear. The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials (IFAM) and Read More
Researchers at EPFL’s Reconfigurable Robotics Lab (RRL) have designed a sensor that can simultaneously detect multiple stimuli – such as bending, stretching, compression, and temperature shifts – by using color. The new sensor shows promise Read More
Norse Atlantic Airways has partnered with Avinxt to use AI robots to perform regular maintenance functions, such as de-icing and washing. The airline points out that the use of this technology will both reduce carbon Read More
A team of researchers led by Dr. Liang Yang – Lecturer in Marine Renewable Energy Systems at Cranfield University in England – has developed a concept that has the potential to drastically cut greenhouse gas Read More
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has funded the development of a microgrid orchestrator designed to establish a network of microgrids that can be managed as a single cluster – essentially creating a grid of Read More
