Scientists use nanoparticles as an alternative propulsion method for small spacecraft
Propellant is one of the most important things that any spacecraft needs to carry – without it, a spacecraft will be unable to move or change course. This is why spacecraft tend to carry a lot of it on board. Carrying propellant, however, brings its own set of problems. Not only is the chemical highly flammable, […]

Innovative cooling system can absorb indoor heat and “shoot” it into outer space
As parts of the country experience heat waves and power outages, scientists have been hard at work looking for new, more power-efficient methods to cool buildings. Recently, a group of engineers have designed one such system that absorbs indoor heat and shoots it up to outer space, all without using any electricity. The system uses […]

Ammonia identified as a cost-effective material to store energy for fuel cells
On paper, fuel cells offer the best of both worlds. They can provide clean electric power for vehicles, without the need for long charging times that plague most EVs. The main problem with fuel cells, however, is that they use hydrogen, which is quite flammable and needs specialized infrastructure and equipment to handle. To address […]

Startup announces plans to use bike lanes for delivery robots to move cargo
Bicycle riders may soon find themselves sharing bike lanes with autonomous delivery robots. Robotic delivery startup Refraction AI recently revealed plans for a lightweight delivery robot that can use bicycle lanes. The company, a brainchild of University of Michigan professors Ram Vasudevan and Matthew Johnson-Roberson, is pitching its five-foot-tall REV-1 as a lightweight, low-cost, autonomous delivery robot that […]

A step closer to superhumans: Scientists claim that a nanoparticle injection in the eyes could give people night vision
Giving a person infrared night vision through an eye injection seems like a premise for a science fiction movie. A recent study, however, by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS), shows that this may be much closer to reality. The term “night vision” is often associated with bulky goggles worn by soldiers to help them see in the […]

Study: Virtual reality may offer benefits for patients with severe pain
Virtual reality (VR), a technology often associated with video games or entertainment, could help reduce severe pain in hospitalized patients. This is according to a recent study published in the journal PLOS One by researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. In their study, the researchers looked into how therapeutic virtual reality can be used as a non-pharmacological […]

Ant-sized robots powered by vibration can move material: One day, ant-robots may even be used to repair injuries INSIDE the body
A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) recently created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing the power of vibrations. The team believes that swarms of these “micro-bristle-bots” could one day be used to move materials, sense environmental changes and even repair injuries inside the human body. […]

Researchers could develop more durable and flexible wearable devices using acid from an unlikely source: Red wine
The next generation of wearable technology could be developed with materials from a most unlikely source: red wine. A team of scientists are looking at using tannic acid found in red wine to help create flexible fibers for use in wearable devices. In a recent study published in the journal Small, researchers from the University of Manchester, the tannic acid […]

Chinese startup develops smart glasses to check for coronavirus symptoms… but do they work?
To help efforts to screen for symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) infection, a Chinese startup has developed augmented reality glasses that lets wearers “see” a person’s temperature. Developed by a company called Rokid, the T1 smart glasses use a frame-mounted thermal camera to measure people’s temperatures from a distance, even while they’re moving. “Apart from fixed temperature […]

Is Volkswagen’s new ID.3 electric car the “Tesla killer?”
Tesla has maintained a lead in the electric vehicle (EV) market, especially with its best-selling Model 3 sedan. However, other companies have started chipping at the Palo Alto, California, automaker’s lead. Volkswagen is one of these companies, and it’s taking aim at Tesla’s best selling model with its brand new ID.3, set to launch this summer. Tesla’s […]
