With more than 3% of power generated worldwide devoted to maintaining data storage, our need for more energy-efficient ways to store data grows exponentially as the amount of data we want to store increases. Traditionally, data is…

Classical computers, the machines we use every day for tasks from checking Facebook to running sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms, process and store information in bits of either 0s or 1s – but not both at the same time.…

The quality of wearable listening technology, from hearing aids to smart headphones, may be hindered by a lack of data collected using multiple microphones. But University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Coordinated Science Laboratory…

For the first time since 1969, America is in a space race. This time, though, the race is happening (largely) within our borders, and amongst the participants are several well-known entrepreneurs with clear goals – and strong rationales –…

It's no secret that disadvantages exist in the current architecture of the embedded processing infrastructure, which is designed based on a 70-year-old underlying structure. AI chipmaker, Hailo, addresses these issues with a holistic…

Look down – how are your nails looking? Is it time for a new set? No problem – Canon has you covered! Eliminating the need to visit your local nail salon, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, introduces printable nail…

The story of how World War I brought a military decoration for William Lawrence Bragg, the youngest person ever to win a Nobel Prize in physics. During World War I, William Lawrence Bragg led a team of engineers in the development of an…

For decades now, militaries have worked hard to develop technologies that simultaneously protect infantry soldiers' hearing and aid in battlefield communication. However, these advanced Tactical Communication and Protective Systems, or…

A company called AerialX has been working on a complete solution to counter drone threats. Established in 2013 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, AerialX designed and manufactured high-end unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). AerialX's…

The tiny robot Cozmo had its moment in the limelight, but in spite of raising more than $200 million, tech startup Anki – maker of the Cozmo robot - couldn’t find funding for its next stage of growth. The robotics developer announced Monday…

Most people dread dental cleanings; the dentist or oral hygienist uses mechanical tools to – sometimes painfully – scrape plaque from your teeth. But what if a small swarm of micro-robots could, instead, remove plaque build-up…

Purdue University researchers have developed a process that uses magnetics with brain-like networks to program and teach AI-powered devices such as personal robots, self-driving cars, and drones to better generalize about different objects.…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjygLujXwEQ Engineers from UC Berkeley and Squishy Robotics have developed all-shaped robots that are capable of falling more than 600 feet without any damage. The robots are built of a network of rods…

Researchers from the University of Hamburg and DESY have developed a  3D printing process that can be used to produce transparent and mechanically flexible electronic circuits. The electronics consist of a mesh of silver nanowires that can…

Space blankets have been around for decades. Athletes, in particular, use them to trap in heat.  But until now, they've been static. Drawing design inspiration from the skin of stealthy sea creatures, engineers at the University of…
