Researchers in South Korea have developed the nation’s first hull-attached sensor-based system for predicting underwater radiated noise (URN), a key factor in naval stealth operations. The new technology allows real-time monitoring of underwater noise levels […]

New materials developed using machine learning and artificial intelligence could, among other things, keep your house cooler and reduce energy bills.This post was originally published on this site

The Center for Industrial Photonics (CIP) at the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) has developed an additive manufacturing technique—laser-assisted cold spray (LACS).This post was originally published on this site

Most of Earth’s water is in the oceans and too salty to drink. Desalination plants can make seawater drinkable, but they require large amounts of energy. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters have developed […]

Foams have numerous possible potential applications, for example, ranging from the automotive, household and mechanical engineering sectors to leisure and sports applications.This post was originally published on this site

Water has proven its value as a heat carrier, for example, when it comes to transferring heat from a boiler to a radiator or keeping cooling ceilings chilled. But there is a new contender on […]

While so far robots have predominantly been deployed individually, as teams, they can tackle a wider range of complex missions with remarkable speed and efficiency. For instance, they could help to rapidly transport objects to […]

Inspired by a simple children’s toy, a jumping popper toy, researchers have unlocked a key to designing more agile and predictable soft robots. Soft robots, made from flexible materials, hold immense promise for delicate tasks, […]

Inspired by how nature blends toughness and flexibility, such as the rigid structure of bone surrounded by pliable cartilage, all with elegant and precise geometric properties, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have […]

Bricks made from used coffee grounds could soon reshape Australia’s construction industry, and its carbon footprint, thanks to researchers at Swinburne University of Technology.This post was originally published on this site
