Some Robots Walk. Others Fly. He Built One That Can Do Both

“A bipedal robot walks on the surface of a distant planet. Its sensors scan the environment, sending data back to Earth. It comes to a crumbling hillside, flexes its knees and leaps, thrusters whirring, to land safely above the loose …

Supercomputing Helps Study Two-Dimensional Materials

“HPC helps researchers understand experiments for observing real-time motion of lithium atoms in bi-layer graphene, paving the way for designing new materials for batteries and other electronics. Whether it is high-temperature superconductors and improved energy storage to bendable metals and …

TPU scientists developed advanced technologies for manufacturing solid oxide fuel

“Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) based on an anode and thin electrolyte are one of the most promising and developing structures throughout the world. However, they are not produced in Russia. SRF Stepan Linnik from the Research School of High …

Unleashing perovskites’ potential for solar cells

“New results show how varying the recipe could bring these materials closer to commercialization. Perovskites — a broad category of compounds that share a certain crystal structure — have attracted a great deal of attention as potential new solar-cell materials because of …

Unmanned Vehicles to Take Quantum Leap

“Quantum sensors being developed at The University of Queensland could revolutionise navigation and communications in unmanned and autonomous vehicles. UQ researchers are working with the Australian Defence Force (ADF), NASA, Orica Ltd and Brisbane’s Skyborne Technologies to develop the …

World Magnetic Model Out-of-Cycle Release

“Earth’s northern magnetic pole is moving quickly away from the Canadian Arctic toward Siberia. This movement has forced NCEI’s scientists to update the World Magnetic Model (WMM) mid-cycle. Typically, a new and updated version of the WMM is …

3D Printed Realism from Stratasys Helps Bring Ancient Artifacts to Life

“Underscoring the power of realism in 3D printed models, Stratasys (Nasdaq: SSYS) and Google Arts and Culture are re-imagining some of the world’s most cherished artifacts and historical monuments through additive manufacturing. Backed by advanced color and multi-material functionality …

All-in-one transparent transistors

“Small tweaks in component ratios generate electronically different layers from the same material to create transparent transistors. Worldwide demand is growing for transparent conducting oxides for use in solar cells, flat panel displays, smart windows and semiconductor-based consumer electronics. KAUST …

Bluetooth Enhances Support for Location Services with New Direction Finding Feature

“The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) today announced a new direction finding feature that holds the potential to significantly enhance the performance of Bluetooth location services solutions. The new feature allows devices to determine the direction of a Bluetooth signal …
