An innovative circuit design could enable miniature devices, such as microdrones and other microrobotics, to be powered for longer periods of time while staying...
INSIDER: Power
Oxide-ion conductors enable oxide ions (O2-) to be transported in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which can run on diverse fuels beyond hydrogen, including natural gas,...
INSIDER: Energy
As population growth and extreme temperatures strain the United States power grid, utilities and equipment manufacturers are looking for ways to increase the amount of...
INSIDER: Electronics & Computers
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have achieved a new material that will be pivotal in making the next generation of high-power electronics...
INSIDER: Motion Control
DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound — tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially,...
INSIDER: Data Acquisition
In the future, autonomous drones could be used to shuttle inventory between large warehouses. A drone might fly into a semi-dark structure the size of several...
INSIDER: Unmanned Systems
New NASA technology works within satellite swarms. This technology, called Distributed Spacecraft Autonomy (DSA), allows individual spacecraft to make independent...
INSIDER: Robotics, Automation & Control
Roundabouts are an increasingly common feature of U.S. roads, in part because they reduce both traffic delays and accidents. However, they rely on the judgment of drivers to ensure traffic flows...
INSIDER: Wearables
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and New York’s Columbia University have embedded transistors in a soft, conformable material to create a biocompatible sensor implant that monitors...
INSIDER: AR/AI
The electronics industry is approaching a limit to the number of transistors that can be packed onto the surface of a computer chip. So, chip manufacturers are looking to build up rather than out.
INSIDER: Research Lab
Existing computer systems have separate data processing and storage devices, making them inefficient for processing complex data like AI. A Korea Advanced Institute of Science and...
INSIDER: Photonics/Optics
Seven early-stage startup companies have been selected to compete for a top prize of $10,000 at the 15th annual SPIE Startup Challenge at Photonics West Tuesday, January 28.
