New “smart” skin gives robots more sensitive tactile feeling than humans
Texan researchers have created a smart skin that can be worn by robots. The new sensor-studded material is so sensitive that it outperforms actual human skin when it comes to sensing objects through touch, an article in Nanowerks stated. The self-powered electronic skin was developed by a robotics laboratory run by the University of Texas […]

Solution to next-gen batteries may come from unconventional materials, say researchers
Normal battery materials have pretty much hit their limit in terms of storage capacity and charging speed. U.K. researchers have turned to unorthodox options, such as niobium tungsten oxides, which can be used to make rapid-charging electrodes, an article in Science Daily stated. These crystalline materials cannot store more energy than their conventional predecessors. However, […]

California-based space company testing a mini propulsion system for planetary microsat missions
An American space technology company is almost ready to release a new propulsion system that could one day be installed on most spacecraft. The improved thrusters will be small enough to mount on microsatellites, yet powerful enough to propel larger space probes on interplanetary missions away from Earth, an article in Space.com stated. The system […]
