Carbon Nanotube Film

Ordinarily, when composite items are being manufactured, huge ovens and autoclaves have to be utilized. The production process could soon be much simpler, cheaper and more energy-efficient, however, thanks to the use of carbon nanotube films. Composites consist of stacked layers of structural material, which are bonded together via a resin or other matrix in order to form a solid. […]

“Molecular Scissors”

Finding new uses for discarded tires is challenging, in part because of the sheer number the world churns through every day but also because of the inherent difficulties in recycling them. Scientists have now come up with a new way to break apart key components from the tire material for re-use, which could provide the basis for new and improved […]

Solar Umbrellas

Scientists at Berkeley Lab have developed a sort of “solar umbrella” which could radically reduce the amount of land needed for industrial evaporation ponds. Evaporation ponds are a cheap way to deal with waste water contaminated by industrial processes in various industries, including power plants, desalination plants as well as the oil, gas and lithium industries. The idea behind evaporation […]

Stairs Not An Obstacle For This Robovac 

If your busy lifestyle leaves little time for housework, robot vacuum cleaners can help. Though models can employ some pretty advanced tech to autonomously tackle dirt in the living space, they’re pretty much limited to one story. If you want your robovac to clean upstairs, you’ll have to carry it up and set it off. Peter Sripol wasn’t happy with […]

The Future Of A.I -Samsung’s Artificial Humans

What is Neon? Shrouded in mystery leading up to CES 2020, all we knew was that Neon had something to do with artificial intelligence. Was it a Google Assistant competitor? A robot? Something more? “It’s a preview of a wonderful technology we have, and a wonderful future we can create together,” Neon’s CEO Pranav Mistry said at the start of […]

Pressure Sensing Drone To Inspect Skyscrapers

Glass-clad skyscrapers need to be inspected on a regular basis, in order to ensure that the glass panes are securely attached and undamaged. Doing so might soon become much quicker and safer, with a little help from a special drone. Currently, such inspections are carried out by people who are lowered along the face of the building on a swing […]

Smart Tech for Startups

New companies need more than money to get off the ground. In addition to capital and enterprising people with unique ideas, startups need technology. It’s an undeniable fact in the computer age that no entity can be successful without a collection of must have tech programs, apps, appliances and devices. Whether the technology is for tax planning, acquiring new customers, […]

Foldable Metallic Material 

When it comes to soft-bodied robotic devices, there are ones that are squishy like rubber, or that fold like origami. The latter could soon be much lighter, hardier and capable, thanks to an electrically-conductive folding metallic material. Origami-style soft robotics are typically made out of folded sheets of plastic or paper. In order to make them electronically functional, sensors and […]

Parallel Reality

Passengers flying out of Detroit will soon be able to opt into a beta test of a technology that allows different people to see images and info personal to them simultaneously presented on a single display. The idea is that anyone who opts into the beta trial can approach a display and see travel information, shopping suggestions, directions and more […]
