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
Roboticists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) have designed a jellyfish-inspired robot which can collect waste from the bottom of the ocean. Unlike the underwater robot prototypes currently being tested, these Jellyfish-Bots Read More
A team led by Mario Caironi, coordinator of the Printed and Molecular Electronics Laboratory at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, has developed the world’s first rechargeable edible battery, which has great potential for use in Read More
Researchers at Cardiff University’s School of Mathematics have developed an early warning system that can quickly classify submarine earthquakes and determine the risk of resulting tsunami events. The team uses state-of-the-art acoustic technology working with Read More
A multidisciplinary team led by researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have been working on a new fabrication technique for fully foldable robots that can perform a variety of complex tasks without relying Read More
Researchers at Koç University in Turkey have created a “real-time” food spoilage alert sensor. Studies have shown that an estimated 240 million tons of meat is discarded globally each year, with much of this waste Read More
The Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed an automatic process for making soft sensors. These sensors function as universal measurement cells and can be Read More
Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have developed biosensor technology that will allow a person to operate robots and machines entirely by thought control. In addition to military applications, the new technology has Read More
A team at MIT has created a robotic hand with high-tough resolution sensing that can accurately identify an object after just one grasp. The device – called the GelSight EndoFlex – features robotic fingers with Read More
