  • ESA Launches First Phase of "Space Data Highway"

    Once fully deployed, the European Data Relay System will relay up to 50 terabytes of data from space to Earth every day.

  • Cockroach Robots as First Responders

    Using a cockroach as inspiration, Jayaram designed a palm-sized robot that can splay its legs outward when squashed, capped by a plastic shield similar to the wings covering the roach's back.

  • Carbon Fiber from Wood Used to Build Car

    The key ingredient in the carbon fiber composite is lignin, a constituent of the cell walls of nearly all plants that grow on dry land.

  • Utility-Scale Wave Energy Harvester Under Development

    The company's prototype, the Triton, is a sturdy system with few moving parts—rugged enough to stand up to harsh seas with little need for maintenance.
