NASA works with industry giants, private industry partners, and small businesses under Artemis (a mission back to the Moon aiming to develop a "long-term presence on the lunar surface) to achieve scalable, affordable, and advanced laser…

Recently, there's a lot of activity in using biomedical implants in the body, such as in the heart or brain. They enable real-time measurement and regulation of physiological signals, presenting new solutions for diseases like Parkinson's.…

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene, opening the door to a new way of doing electronics. Silicon is reaching its limit due to increasingly faster computing…

Coal, although abundant in the U.S., has a bad reputation based on its use as a fossil fuel. However, joint research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the National Energy Technology Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory,…

Samsung has big AI plans. They plan to incorporate a dedicated AI chip directly into its camera sensors. According to Business Korea, Samsung will incorporate AI into its camera image sensors while creating sensors that can sense and…

Fake images are growing in use and are becoming harder to spot. Top camera makers are hitting back with technology that can verify photo authenticity. Nikon, Sony Group, and Canon plan to embed digital signatures in their cameras for proof…

Technology Review published its annual worst technology list for 2023. One of the year's tragic, entirely preventable disasters was the Titan submersible diving to see the original disaster of the Titanic. Five died because of unwarranted…

Scientists from the University of Twente in the Netherlands are breaking up hard-to-reach blood clots without surgery or drugs. They're using an innovative blood clot-busting millirobot the size of a grain of rice, which can swim through…

Researchers just developed a new synaptic transistor capable of higher-level thinking. Researchers at Northwestern University, Boston College, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) innovated a device that simultaneously…

Alloys are essential for buildings, transportation, appliances, and tools. They've also caused engineers to face a common materials trade-off: hard alloys tend to be brittle and break under strain, but if flexible under strain, they tend to…

DigiKey announced that the EFUSE-48V100A reference design from Vishay is now available globally from DigiKey. The eFuse features TrenchFET MOSFETs and handles continuous current up to 100 amps. Operating continuously at maximum current with…

University of Sussex researchers discovered the transformative potential of Martian nanomaterials, possibly opening the door to sustainable habitation on the planet. Using techniques currently applied on the International Space Station…
