“Unity, the same company whose 3D gaming engine brought you _Cuphead and Hearthstone is now helping Chinese internet giant Baidu develop the next generation of autonomous vehicles, the two companies announced on Tuesday._ The collaboration is part of Baidu …

Better Superconductors from Ceramic Copper Oxides

“Riccardo Comin seeks to elucidate the microscopic physics of high-temperature superconducting devices to advance their technological applications. Medical magnetic resonance imaging, high-power microwave generators, superconducting magnetic energy storage units, and the solenoids in nuclear fusion reactors are very different technologies …

Data use draining your battery? Tiny device to speed up memory while also saving power

“The more objects we make “smart,” from watches to entire buildings, the greater the need for these devices to store and retrieve massive amounts of data quickly without consuming too much power. Millions of new memory cells could be part …

Elon Musk unveils Boring Company tunnel, promising a new era in high-speed transportation

“With a modified Tesla Model X zipping through a Boring Company tunnel Tuesday night, Elon Musk took the wraps off his vision of a high-speed tunnel system he believes could ease congestion and revolutionize how millions of commuters get around …

Flea-sized solar panels embedded in CLOTHES can charge a mobile phone

“Clothing embedded with tiny solar cells the size of a flea will allow wearers to generate electricity on the move and charge items like mobile phones and smartwatches. Nottingham Trent University has developed a way to embed miniaturised solar cells …

Flexible thermoelectric generator module: a silver bullet to fix waste energy issues

“A team of researchers led by Osaka University developed an inexpensive large-scale flexible thermoelectric generator (FlexTEG) module with high mechanical reliability for highly efficient power generation. Through a change in direction of the top electrodes at the two sides of …

Fully Driverless Grocery Deliveries Have Started In Arizona

“It could still be several years before you ride in a fully autonomous car with no human backup on public roads. Your groceries, however, can take that ride today. That is as long as you live in the Scottsdale area …
