RULED BY SILICON: Airports turn to ROBOTS to enforce COVID protocols as air travel normalizes
As air travel approaches pre-pandemic levels, major U.S. airports have turned to robots to ensure Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) protocols are followed. Robots are now in charge of checking if travelers comply with COVID-19 mask mandates inside the Dallas Love Field Airport (DLFA) in Texas, reported the Dallas Morning News. The seven-foot-tall machine named the Security […]

Laser technology used in self-driving cars can damage cameras and human eyes
Lidar (light detection and ranging) technology uses light from lasers to measure distances. The reflections produced by these laser lights after bouncing off objects generate precise information about the surrounding area. While these weak laser pulses help autonomous vehicles determine distance and see things, lidar lasers can potentially damage human eyes and certain kinds of […]

Titanium tires used in spacecraft now being redeveloped for Earth bicycles
Titanium tires purported to be “nearly indestructible” have been attached to rovers bound for the moon and Mars. However, a company is bringing these space-age tires back to Earth for a more everyday purpose – that is, attached to bicycles. The SMART Tire Company is the firm behind this endeavor, partnering with National Aeronautics and […]

CLOSING THE LOOP: Company makes clean fuel from non-recyclable plastics
Non-recyclable plastics are ubiquitous waste materials in all parts of the globe. But one company has found good use for these materials by converting these into fuels for airplanes and ships. Moreover, the company’s resulting marine and aviation fuels emit 75 percent less carbon dioxide than their conventional counterparts. British company Clean Planet Energy (CPE) is looking to give non-recyclable […]

Low-cost filter utilizes sunlight to remove impurities from water
A new low-cost filter is set to address water purification for those living off the grid. The filter — which resembles a large sponge — soaks up water but leaves contaminants such as pathogens and chemicals behind. Placing the filter under the sun allows clean water to pass through, which can then be collected for use. The […]

Air Force developing small remote-control drones with flapping wings
The U.S. Air Force said it is developing small, bird-like drones that can flap their wings and change direction mid-flight. It partnered with California-based company Airion Health LLC to develop a prototype of the remote-controlled mini-air vehicle (MAV). The Air Force said the new MAV, which can imitate either insect or bird flight, will be […]
