“Manufacturing of the Kinect has shut down. Originally created for the Xbox 360, Microsoft’s watershed depth camera and voice recognition microphone sold ~35 million units since its debut in 2010, but Microsoft will no longer produce it when retailers …

“Sandia National Laboratories engineers have developed new fractal-like, concentrating solar power receivers for small- to medium-scale use that are up to 20 percent more effective at absorbing sunlight than current technology. The receivers were designed and studied as part of …

“Hybrid robot could perform search and rescue missions, research studies, environmental monitoring We’ve seen RoboBees that can fly, stick to walls, and dive into water. Now, get ready for a hybrid RoboBee that can fly, dive into water, swim …

“Researchers have developed a new type of cooling system for high-performance radars and supercomputers that circulates a liquid coolant directly into electronic chips through an intricate series of tiny microchannels. Conventional chip-cooling methods use finned metal plates called heat sinks …

“New ‘REPAIR’ system edits RNA, rather than DNA; has potential to treat diseases without permanently affecting the genome The Broad Institute and MIT scientists who first harnessed CRISPR for mammalian genome editing have engineered a new molecular system for efficiently …

“Team of professional and citizen scientists identifies tails of comets streaking past a distant star. Scientists from MIT and other institutions, working closely with amateur astronomers, have spotted the dusty tails of six exocomets — comets outside our solar system — orbiting …

“Graphene – a one-atom-thick layer of the stuff in pencils – is a better conductor than copper and is very promising for electronic devices, but with one catch: Electrons that move through it can’t be stopped. Until now, that is. Scientists …

“New tools and partnerships bring Deep Learning techniques to customers who’re at various stages of their Artificial Intelligence adoption journey For decades, we’ve confined Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) to the realm of science fiction. Whether aspirational — like Commander …
