Question of the Week: Defense
For developers of A.I.-guided drones and autonomous technologies, failure is not an option.
Podcasts: Sensors/Data Acquisition
Will we be able to trust autonomous drones? We explore the question in our latest episode of Here's an Idea.
INSIDER: Nanotechnology
A team led by scientists at the University of Washington has designed and tested a 3D-printed metamaterial that can manipulate light with nanoscale precision. As...
Question of the Week: Robotics, Automation & Control
Will Entire Planes Be Built By 'Assembler Robots?'
Commercial aircraft are typically manufactured in sections, often in different locations, and then flown to a central plant for final assembly. Researchers at MIT are hoping to change that.

Camera Enables Surgeons to More Easily Identify Cancerous Tissue
Many surgeons rely on sight and touch to find cancerous tissue during surgery. Large hospitals or cancer treatment centers may also use experimental near-infrared fluorescent agents that bind to tumors so surgeons can see them on specialized displays. These machines are costly, making...
Briefs: Mechanical & Fluid Systems
Flying animals both power and control flight by flapping their wings. This enables small natural flyers such as insects to hover close to a flower but also to rapidly escape danger. Animal flight has...
Facility Focus: Manufacturing & Prototyping
In recent decades, NSF-funded researchers have discovered quite a bit, including many of the fundamental particles of matter.
Articles: Manufacturing & Prototyping
A team of inventors found a fast way to join plastic to metal.
Briefs: Materials
To investigate oceans, researchers aim to build a submerged network of interconnected sensors that sends data to the surface. Supplying constant power to scores of sensors designed to stay for long...
