WasteShark, a garbage-eating drone, now deployed in Dubai after successful tests in the Netherlands
A new aquatic drone has been introduced to the scintillating waters of Dubai. Its mission is to devour any and all bits of plastic trash that it comes across. WasteShark is an aquadrone designed by Dutch environmental tech firm RanMarine. It has been compared to the eponymous protagonist of the movie Wall-E, the rusty sentient […]

Engineers develop small flying robots that can move objects 40x their weight
When confronted with a door, most flying robots will try to find another pathway into the room. A Swiss-American design called FlyCroTug will call in its buddy and work on the knob together to open the door, reported an article in Science Daily. The new aerial drone carries one of the most advanced mechanical manipulators […]

Biodegradable, compostable polymer films show promise for developing more eco-friendly packaging materials
German researchers recently unveiled the latest class of bioplastics that will help reduce the veritable mountains of plastic packaging waste. An Alpha Galileo article stated that the new biodegradable polymers would be durable enough to protect food and other products from the elements, while also being biodegradable in compost conditions. The new plastics are called […]

Carbon is GOOD: MIT chemical engineers create a material that can repair itself using carbon from the air
Airborne carbon can one day serve as a resource to repair damage, maintain structural integrity, or even build entirely new parts. An article in Nanowerks reported the development of a polymer that can absorb carbon dioxide and make use of the resource to improve or expand itself. The new material is similar to a liquid […]

New design suggests a solution for next-gen fusion power plants
One of the biggest issues when it comes to designing practical fusion power plants is finding a safe and efficient way to cool it down. MIT researchers have proposed using high-temperature superconducting magnets to expel dangerous heat from the reactor, an article in Science Daily stated. Their design features a compact fusion reactor with an […]

New modular robotic arms being attached to submarines to give deep-sea researchers better dexterity
Harvard researchers have developed a new type of robotic arm that can be fitted aboard deep sea submarines. The modular mechanical limbs can operate with a level of dexterity and finesse close to that of a human arm, a Science Daily article reported. The new arm is meant to be used with the soft robotic […]

Researchers develop a nanoporous material capable of storing information using less energy
An article in the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Newsroom reported on an efficient new data storage material that requires much less energy and generates far less heat than current technology. Once it is refined, it could lead to energy-efficient data servers that do not need freezing temperatures. Most electronic devices store data in magnetic memories. A device can add, alter, or remove […]

Scientists develop a method of creating quantum communication through standard optical fiber
Most telecommunications networks nowadays use optical fiber that can transport large amounts of data at high speeds. But these cables are incompatible with the wavelengths of even more powerful and much more secure quantum communications. In a Science Daily article, Dutch researchers have found a way to leverage existing optical fiber networks for quantum communications. […]

Scary new AI can edit your face to accurately match dubbed voices
An internationally developed artificial intelligence (AI) will be able to alter the facial expressions of a person on video so that the movements match his or her voice. The AI is intended to be used in films and video conferences to improve the viewing experience, an article in the University of Bath news page reported. […]

U.S. Marines to develop a lightweight next-gen laser system that can generate plasma for crowd control
One of the future systems slated for the U.S. Marine Corps will be a nonlethal laser gun with a very odd option. A Newsweek article reported that in addition to blinding or burning its targets, the directed energy weapon would also issue verbal warnings. The system is called the Scalable Compact Ultra-short Pulse Laser Systems […]
