New electronic paper is thin, flexible, and displays the full spectrum of colors like a standard LED
We may be seeing a new energy-efficient type of electronic paper in the near future. An article in Chalmers Chemistry and Chemical Engineering describes how Swedish researchers developed a prototype that possesses all of the vibrant colors of a LED display while requiring only 10 percent of the energy used by a tablet reader. According […]

Novel device reflects sound back to its source, rather than deflecting it at an angle
When a wave of light or sound or similar energy hits something, it is usually deflected at an angle off the surface of the object. Rarely does it bounce back right towards its point of origin. North Carolina-based engineers have come up with a device that can reflect sound waves back to their sources, an […]

Researchers develop flexible carbon nanotubes that be worn on your finger
In an article in NanoWerks, Japanese researchers successfully tuned carbon nanotubes in order to create terahertz detectors that can flex and wrap around body parts. Their results could lead to the eventual use of terahertz electronics in wrap-around devices, wearable technologies, and photonic devices that cover large areas. Carbon nanotubes are a type of carbon […]

Researchers develop high-speed electronics using graphene
Is there anything graphene cannot improve? Swedish researchers recently used the wonder material to enable electronics that work at terahertz speeds. In an article in Chalmers Microtechnology and Nanoscience Department News, they combined graphene transistors and plastic substrates to create a malleable electronic detector that detects terahertz radiation. The graphene-based detector is the first of […]

Say hello to CIMON, the first AI robot to ever fly to space
The International Space Station (ISS) is now hosting its first ever robot with an artificial intelligence system, an article on Space.com stated. The compact European-built robot is intended to serve as an assistant to a German astronaut aboard the station. The “Crew Interactive Mobile Companion” (CIMON) arrived aboard the ISS in June 2018. It was part […]

Meet DRAGON, a shape-shifting flying robot that moves like a snake and can squeeze through tight spaces
Japanese researchers have created the closest thing to a real-life Transformer. The aptly-named DRAGON is an autonomous flying robot that can adjust the snake-like shape of its body in order to pass through tight spaces and accomplish tasks, an article in IEEE Spectrum stated. Navigating indoors is a big challenge for flying robots. There are […]

They’re taking over sports, too? New AI robot can shoot better than professional basketball players
Toyota employees loved a basketball manga character so much, they built a basketball-shooting robot from scratch. While it can’t move, it hits nothing but net from the free throw line, reported a NewsWeek article. Japanese newspaper Asahi Shumbun identified the humanoid robot as CUE. Its artificial intelligence allowed it to pick up and polish certain basic basketball skills better […]

Researchers discover why there is a speed limit on the properties of light
Swedish researchers finally found the reason why we cannot alter the properties of light past a certain speed, even in artificial materials that are designed to do just that. In a recent article by Science Daily, they explained the discovery of the need to take a different approach to get past the speed limit. Electromagnetic (EM) […]

Startup company wants to create an autonomous unmanned airplane capable of launching satellites every 3 hours
An Alabama start-up has decided that space launch companies shouldn’t keep their customers waiting for months or years to launch a satellite into orbit. Its engineers are working on an autonomous air-launch service that can put a payload in space every three hours, an article in Space.com stated. Jay Skylus founded his company, Aevum, on the […]
