Following Uber's acquisition of Postmates, the Postmates robotics division was spun out as an independent company called Serve Robotics. The spinoff will develop a new form of mobility and convenience, creating autonomous robots to deliver…

On March 18, California students had the opportunity to hear from NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The Earth-to-space call aired live at 12:35 p.m. EDT on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency's website.…

NASA's Perseverance rover took a high-definition look around the Jezero Crater on Feb. 21, after rotating its mast, or "head," 360 degrees. The rover's Mastcam-Z instrument captured its first panorama after touching down on the Red Planet…

Once quantum computers are ubiquitous, a quantum internet will need to be in place to communicate. Purdue University is addressing the challenge of developing quantum networks able to support more than a few users. Their research, published…

Unity released its Object Pose Estimation demonstration, which combines the power of computer vision and simulation technologies illustrating how their AI and Machine Learning capabilities are having a real-world impact on the use of…

Q-CTRL announced that it will provide the first quantum sensing and navigation technologies for space exploration beginning with unmanned lunar missions by Australia’s SEVEN SISTERS space industry consortium. These missions will begin in…

If you pay attention to anything “space” related, recently, General John "Jay" Raymond, Chief of Space Operations, and Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson had a discussion about the critical national imperatives for the United States Space Force.…

DevOps Institute announced the launch of the 2021 SRE Survey that is expected to provide a more in-depth understanding of how SRE teams are organized, how they are measured, and a deep dive into specific automation needs within SRE teams.…

For the past few years, engineers have modified the properties of some 2D materials that are one or a few atoms thick, by stacking two layers together and rotating one relative to the other, creating moiré patterns. This changes how…

The dearMoon Project released a video announcement that it has opened the application process for eight civilians to join a week-long expedition to fly by the Moon on SpaceX's Starship in 2023. Funded by Japanese Entrepreneur Yusaku…

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University are demonstrating how liquid foams collapse by observing individual collapse "events" with high-speed video microscopy. Cracks in films led to a receding liquid front that sweeps up the…

A group of international physicists is delving into how the magnetic properties change in 3D nanowires, probing deeply into the Walker breakdown phenomenon. The cross-sectional geometry of a 3-D nanowire affects domain wall dynamics and…

WorldViz just released Vizard 7 of its Python-based VR development platform that provides Python 3.8 integration, VR device connectivity, and data collection. The new version provides access to a range of Python community libraries,…

ROHM Semiconductor launched a 24-model lineup of 24V input, -40V / -60V withstand voltage P-channel MOSFETs available in both single and dual configurations targeting such industrial and consumer applications as factory automation,…

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder developed a new, low-cost wearable device that transforms the human body into a biological battery. Published in the journal Science Advances, the device stretches to wear as a ring or…
