Harnessing static electricity? Invention makes self-powered devices possible, without batteries
Do you remember your encounters with static electricity, e.g. every single time you walked across the carpet and grabbed the doorknob? Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) are unraveling the process with the hopes of turning it into an energy source, reported a Newswise article. According to Zhong Lin Wang, a Regent’s Professor at the university, […]

New graphene gas sensor inspired by dog noses
Man’s best friend enjoys one of the best noses on the planet. That’s why a Chinese-led study based its newly-developed electronic nose on a dog’s nose by using biomimetic graphene materials, reported a Nanowerk article. A dog’s excellent sense of smell comes from the hundreds of millions of capillaries that line the inside of its nose. The large […]

Boeing is testing prototypes for passenger drone taxis, as flying cars and “urban air mobility” come closer to reality
A century ago, Glenn Curtiss unveiled the Autoplane, a flying car that could barely get off the ground. Now, a Bloomberg article reported that Boeing – the company that ultimately inherited the aircraft manufacturing division of Curtiss’ old company – is testing prototypes of the drone air taxi. “Real prototype vehicles are being built right now. So the technology is […]

Embedded sensors may provide robots with sensory capabilities
Not satisfied with the nature-inspired soft robots they’ve already created, a Harvard University (Harvard) research team is planning to install embedded sensors that will let their creations sense movement, pressure, touch, and temperature like living organisms do. In fact, reported an AlphaGalileo article, they based the idea upon the sensory capabilities of the human body. Previous Harvard-designed robots can […]

Custom furniture built by robots makes carpentry safer
Every day, carpenters risk their fingers and hands. Some regard the fact as a necessary sacrifice to deliver personalized and artistic products. Others react like the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the MIT team who designed robots to do dangerous carpentry tasks like sawing and chopping, reports ScienceDaily. The AutoSaw program directs the robots. […]

Researchers are one step closer to creating solid oxide fuel cells
Solid oxide fuel cells could become more affordable and commonplace thanks to a recent study that successfully identified more than 50 candidate materials, reported a NanoWerk article. The new materials could allow a fuel cell to run at lower temperatures, which leads to a longer lifespan and cheaper costs. Materials researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) […]

Newest NASA spacesuit uses revamped Apollo-era “waste disposal systems” – astronauts can stay in them for a week
In a throwback to the past, NASA is developing a new spacesuit with a built-in toilet. The last such waste disposal system served the Apollo astronauts, and the new one is expected to improve on that ancestral 1970s system, reported a LiveScience article. The Orion Crew Survival Systems Suits (OCSSS) are the next-generation spacesuits for […]

Skin sensor made from stretchable electronics could revolutionize stroke recovery
Stroke patients and physicians can get live and accurate readings of the patient’s recovering body thanks to newly-developed stretchable electronic sensors. Science Daily reported the new bio-sensor is small enough to be worn outdoors, rugged enough to function during therapy sessions, and precise enough to be used for advanced medical care. The device is the latest concept of John […]
