U.S. Air Force Works with AT&T to Create “Smart Base of the Future”
The U.S. Air Force is working with AT&T* to help it create a "Smart Base of the Future" at Tyndall Air Force Base (Tyndall). AT&T expects to light up 5G service on the base as early as mid-2020.
Tyndall, located in the Florida…
What’s DC Motor Control, Why Does It Matter, and How Can You Do It?
A DC motor is one of the most basic motors you can get, and it helps convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. DC motors are classified into three main sub-types: brushed motors, universal motors, and permanent magnet motors. These…
Smart Buildings are Great But Still Present a Ton of Challenges
The word "smart" is now applied to everyday objects: smartphones, smart TVs, smart appliances -- and even, smart buildings.
But the idea of the smart building is still new. There is no accepted definition yet, but one of the best…
Putting the Smarts Into Graphene
As our need for battery power increases and the amount of space available to generate and contain that power decreases, ultrathin batteries are in high demand, particularly for use in medical monitoring devices.
Recently a scientific…
AI Performs Quantum Molecular Simulations
As we’re poised on the brink of truly entering the field of quantum computing, the resources needed to embrace its potential continue to be daunting. Now, an interdisciplinary team of chemists, physicists, and computer scientists at the…
Industry’s First GEO-fencing Wireless Emergency Alerts Test Solution
Wireless Emergency Alerts are a critical part of the nation’s emergency readiness system for warning the public about dangerous weather, missing children and other types of emergencies. Geographic targeting is a necessary mobile device…
Who Says You’re Quantum Computer Can’t Check its Own Work?
The recent claim by Google AI that its Sycamore quantum processor can complete a task in 200 seconds that would take a state-of-the-art supercomputer approximately 10,000 years to complete illustrates more than the power of quantum…
Sculpting Next-gen Semiconductor Crystals for Microchips
Moore's Law, which states the number of transistors and their performance in a dense integrated circuit will double approximately every two years has been challenged recently. The semiconductor industry is struggling to maintain the pace…
This New Thin Heat Shield Will Allow for Super-fast Aircraft
When it comes to the aerospace industry, engineers are increasingly reliant on carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites to build the structures of satellites, rockets and jet aircraft.
But the life of those materials is limited by how…
Wireless Oxygen Sensor Makes Remote Monitoring of Babies Possible
An image that always tugs at the heart strings is that of a tiny infant in an incubator, hooked up to multiple devices that, while necessary to monitor the baby’s health, make it difficult for parents and caregivers to give newborns the…

Teaching AI to Design Using Visual Cues
When humans design, they tend to use solutions-based approaches that begin with a needs analysis. They then re-frame the problem, brainstorm ideas, and move on to prototype and test. By showing AI agents progressions in design modification…
Developing Stretchable, Degradable Semiconductors For Seamless Integration
There are very specific materials needed if we're going to integrate electronics with the natural world in a more natural way. Research says that the materials needed are both stretchable and degradable—for example, flexible medical devices…
Battery Membrane Technology Could Provide Storage Solution for Renewables
Generating renewable energy has never been a problem, really. But storing the energy for use when it isn’t possible to generate due to atmospheric conditions has always been a challenge.
Giant batteries designed for the electrical…
