Walt Disney wants to create humanoid “stuntbots” to replace actors in high-flying stunts

In the future, action movies could be crediting robots, too. Walt Disney Studios is developing humanoid robots designed to perform high-flying and dangerous stunts for its movies and live theater shows. The “stuntbots,” also known as stuntronics, combine lasers, accelerometers, and gyroscopes to keep track of and correct their position in real time. These advanced […]

British scientists design robotic fruit pickers to address worker shortage

It seems that anything is possible with modern technology – including ending the need for humans to toil in strawberry fields. Scientists in the U.K. are developing robots to replace human strawberry pickers at farms, a solution aimed at reducing food wasted due to a shortage of human workers. The impact of Brexit goes all […]

Startup company opens first restaurant that uses a transparent robot to serve the “world’s freshest cheeseburger”

There could be a time when your cheeseburger will be made by robots. Creator’s transparent burger robot is an entire kitchen on its own and, if an article from TechCrunch is to be believed, can serve some of the freshest and most sumptuous cheeseburgers for its price point. The machine is the newest and most […]

Revolutionary battery can self-assemble and charge your phone in SECONDS

What if you could fully charge your phone within seconds? That is exactly what researchers at Cornell University say their new battery will let you do, a study published in Energy & Environmental Science reports. A conventional battery is composed of an anode on one side and a cathode on another, separated by a non-conducting […]

New supercapacitor could be an ideal alternative to lithium-ion batteries

A study published in Advanced Materials discusses the discovery of a new supercapacitor that features both stability and a high energy density, which, with further development, could be a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The supercapacitor was created by researchers from the University of California at Berkeley (UC Berkeley) in collaboration with the Molecular Foundry, […]

The world’s smallest computer is now smaller than a grain of rice – much smaller

Try this on for size – a team from the University of Michigan just reclaimed the distinction of having created the smallest computer in the world, exhibiting a unit so tiny, it’s “dwarfed by a grain of rice.” The computer measures just 0.33 mm on each side, effectively making a grain of rice look gargantuan next […]

Scary magnetic control system moves DNA-based robots in less than a second

Nanorobots are advancing at a much, much faster pace than expected. In an article published in the journal Nature Communications, scientists unveiled a new control system that improved the response time of nanorobot components from a few minutes to just under a second. Nanorobots have been of special interest among many scientists for years now, […]

New laser contact lenses can shoot “security beams” from your eyes

It looks like you could soon be shooting laser beams out of your eyes – just like Superman. Researchers from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland have developed ultra-thin and flexible laser stickers that can attach to contact lenses and, yes, produce laser beams. The laser sticker is 200 nanometers thick, about one-fifth of the thickness of […]

Researchers create new textiles that don’t easily wrinkle

Even in engineering, a wrinkle-free textile is ideal. Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) Okanagan campus are looking for ways to reduce wrinkling in producing textile composites. Like all composite materials, textile composites consist of a component material (often thermoplastic) or a combination of two materials reinforced with woven, knitted, or braided fabric. They […]
