“Air-con” clothes? Scientists develop cooling fabric inspired by the comet moth
Silkworms may have a new competitor when it comes to producing refreshingly cool and bright-looking silk fabrics. The fibers spun by wild Madagascar comet moths look much more vivid and feel much cooler on the skin. An article in Newswise reports that research engineers have created artificial materials based on these fibers to replicate their cooling […]

Researchers develop tiny robots that are able to blend into bee colonies and interact with them
European researchers have designed autonomous robots that will be accepted by real animals. According to a Your Is article, these robot bees and fish can investigate, understand, and even influence the animals. The robot bees will expand current understanding of pollinators, which occupy immensely important roles in the ecosystem. Bees and other pollinators support biodiversity by promoting the reproduction of […]

The future of transportation: Autonomous boats that can be 3D-printed
On your next visit to Amsterdam or Bangkok or Venice, that gondola you board might be driven by a robot instead of a human – and 3D printed rather than built. An article in Science Daily states that automated boats could one day ply the canals and rivers of cities, laden with cargo and passengers […]

Research team finds a way to cheaply create nanotubes made from carbon dioxide extracted out of the air
Potentially toxic carbon dioxide can now be transformed into invaluable carbon nanotubes. In a Science Direct article, researchers from Tennessee have reported creating a prototype device that can absorb CO2 from the air and turn it into “black gold.” Carbon nanotubes possess a strength that exceeds steel and a conductivity superior to commonly used copper. […]

Next-gen devices could operate not on electricity or batteries but on LIGHT
A future generation of electronic devices could do away with the need for batteries or the local power grid by drawing energy from light. And by “light,” the joint research group working on these devices means all forms of light, not just sunlight, a Nano Werk article states. Such devices can dispense with the need […]

U.S. military spending millions on missile-destroying lasers that can be mounted on drones
The Pentagon wants a fleet of animal-inspired flying drones armed with lasers that can destroy any potential threat to the U.S., including enemy missiles waiting to be launched from their pads, reported The Daily Mail. The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has put in a budget request of $9.9 billion for 2019. Of that amount, $66 […]

Researchers develop AI system that can design and assemble themselves
It is worrisome enough that humans are programming artificial intelligence (AI) systems that might one day be able to think for themselves. Now, an article in Alpha Galileo states that U.K. researchers want to give the AI the ability to design, build, and reprogram itself in order to exceed the performance of human-designed systems. The […]

Atlas, the “world’s most dynamic humanoid”, is able to run, hop, bend, and move just like a real person
The mythical Atlas is a strong but stupid Titan who is forced to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders as punishment for fighting against the Greek gods. Boston Dynamics’ much more unnerving Atlas is a humanoid robot that can bend, hope, move, and run like a human being, a Live Science article stated. Built […]

Space manufacturing: Scientists looking toward the stars to create stronger materials
Space might be dangerous, but it also possesses unique qualities that make it perfect for producing certain materials and products. According to a Space.com article, experts and researchers believe stronger materials, bigger and purer crystals, and even new organs can be developed and manufactured in space. Microgravity permits the unhindered growth, even mixing, and cementing […]

Physicists are one step closer to developing optoelectronic devices that are smaller and more powerful
Swiss physicists from ETH Zurich have succeeded in measuring electron response in a semiconductor at the attosecond (one quintillionth of a second) timescale. This startling breakthrough is expected to spur the development of optoelectronic devices that can operate in the petahertz level, reported Science Daily. The previous maximum resolution of electron response was below a femtosecond […]
