ABI Research published a new whitepaper, 68 Technology Trends That Will Shape 2021, identifying 37 trends that will impact the technology sector. One of the 37 is ABI’s forecast that Ultra-Wideband (UWB) will become a mainstream wireless…

As 3-D printing increasingly makes its way into homes, libraries, and schools, risk researchers are questioning the health and safety implications they may pose, especially to children. The concern is that the particles released during the…

Fuel storage and transport is a major limiting factor in space travel, relegating travel to short trips when large amounts of cargo are to be moved. Early fuel bladder designs included round balloons for liquid hydrogen, which gave way to…

Professor Federico Rosei of the Institut National de la Recherché Scientifique (INRS) collaborated with international researchers to modify graphene properties for use in electronics applications. The study results were recently published…

What exactly goes on in the minds of machines that learn to see? Duke University’s computer science professor, Cynthia Rudin, set out to define exactly what happens in between input and output in deep learning models. The complexity…

Wireless charging is common in consumer and medical electronics applications. Now, scientists have created a control strategy that dynamically changes transmitter currents for wireless charging in robots and electric cars. In a recently…

Engineers at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis are coaxing oxygen and hydrogen directly out of briny water. The team invented an electrolyzer that can be useful on Earth to tap into oceans as viable…

"The IEEE 2020 Global Survey of CIOs and CTOs" surveyed 350 CIOs or CTOs on business opportunities, challenges, and key trends. The survey spanned the U.S., China, U.K., India, and Brazil, and was conducted from September 21 to October 9,…

While electrons gain and emit energy by being exposed to photons, photons themselves have always been resistant to magnetic field control. To develop futuristic technologies like quantum computers, scientists will need to find ways to…

The lithium-ion battery is under attack on numerous fronts as scientists and engineers try to come up with alternatives that are more easily acquired than lithium, more environmentally friendly, and better performing. U.S. reserves of…
