Scientists at the University of Bristol have discovered that the common kitchen ingredient, used in Vietnamese spring rolls, is biodegradable, non-toxic and suitable for soft robotic prototyping, outreach and single-use applications.This post was originally published […]

Laser trackers help improve precision and reduce operational costs of industrial robots, new research from the University of Nottingham says.This post was originally published on this site

NIMS and its collaborators have developed a model designed to predict the long-term durability of a range of heat-resistant steel materials by performing machine learning while preserving the confidentiality of each organization’s data. This research […]

For an effective energy transition, we need to think not only about how we generate sustainable energy, but also about the spatial consequences of those choices. After all, wind turbines, solar parks and the associated […]

New research led by The University of Manchester has outlined a more equitable way to plan the transition to low-carbon energy systems that reduces regional disparities in access to energy and water services.This post was […]

Traditional forms of thermal insulation used to regulate temperatures in homes and commercial buildings are often energy-intensive to manufacture, resulting in significant greenhouse gas emissions.This post was originally published on this site

A new report launched today by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) emphasizes the critical role of measurement in engineering. As engineers drive innovation and commercialize new technologies, their […]

Robots are increasingly becoming a part of our lives—from warehouse automation to robotic vacuum cleaners. And just like humans, robots need to know where they are to reliably navigate from A to B.This post was […]

Micro-robots that can inspect water pipes, diagnose cracks and fix them autonomously—reducing leaks and avoiding expensive excavation work—have been developed by a team of engineers led by the University of Sheffield.This post was originally published […]

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have pushed forward the development of computer vision with new, silicon-based hardware that can both capture and process visual data in the analog domain. Their work, described in […]
