    Canadian researchers are exploring the behavior of advanced nuclear fuels for small modular reactors (SMRs).

  • Database defines molecules for redox flow batteries

    The computational database describes the properties of 31,618 molecules from two prominent classes of organic electroactive compounds.

  • Dakar 2023: FPT Industrial lines up for the world’s toughest rally

    FPT Industrial is taking part in the 45th edition of the Dakar Rally as co-sponsor and supplier of Cursor 13 engines, prepared for the IVECO Powerstar trucks of two new teams.

  • Engineered electromagnetic surfaces (EES)

    Remcom’s Wireless InSite® supports the simulation of RF interactions with engineered electromagnetic surfaces.

  • Water purification with eco-friendly polymer

    Rapid growth in the chemical industry has caused a lot of water pollution, which is a big concern.

  • Hydrogen storage using depleted uranium

    A U.K. project will develop a technology demonstrator that uses depleted uranium as a conduit for long-term hydrogen storage.

  • Weather the storm with composite cooling towers

    These units can endure hurricane-force winds, earthquakes and weather-related stresses with minimal to no damage.

  • Three-limbed bot designed for space tasks

    Ahead of a space-qualified iteration of MARM being developed, the researchers will test the MARM prototype in a physical simulator arrangement.

  • ABB introduces new robot to the warehouse, manufacturing spaces

    With a payload capacity of up to 11 kg (24.3 lb), a top speed of 6.2 m/s (20.3 ft/sec) and a reach between 900 mm (35.4 inches) to 1,400 mm (55.1 inches), the ABB SWIFTI CRB 1300 is expected to improve a facility’s production efficiency by as much as 44%.

  • Team creates anti-counterfeiting label with 3D printing

    In lieu of commonly used QR codes and other anti-counterfeiting measures, which can be easily produced thanks to limited data encryption capacity on a planar space, the researchers are attempting to increase encryption density in a limited space using a new 3D printing method.

  • Scrubbers as a major source of Baltic Sea pollution

    Scrubbers used on ships to clean exhaust gases and reduce air pollutant emissions have been identified as a major contributor of contaminants to waters in the Baltic Sea.

  • New gelatinous robot crawls in response to temperature changes

    Inspired by the inchworm, the robot is able to move according to the swelling and shrinking of the gel — and in the absence of batteries, wiring and external power of any kind.

  • BladeRobots four times faster at inspection, maintenance of wind turbines than manual solutions

    The BladeRobots, which are assisted by artificial intelligence, are designed to restore the aerodynamic performance of wind turbines.

  • Claw-enhanced ornithopter can now perch

    The EPFL team suggests that enabling a robotic flapping wing bird to successfully perch itself could lead to other more sophisticated tasks that can be carried out by ornithopters, including collecting biological samples or measurements from a tree, for instance.

  • Liquid-coated air filters improve bio-surveillance of airborne pathogens

    The composite membrane coated with liquid and applied to filters proved to enhance air sampling efforts, capturing viable bacterial and viral samples for analysis during tests in the lab.

  • "Piloting" project aims to automate critical infrastructure inspection

    Under a project dubbed "Piloting," the researchers have developed 10 drones and ground-based robots capable of automating the inspection and maintenance of critical infrastructure including bridges, tunnels and oil refineries, among others.

  • Forabot handles, sorts and identifies fossils

    Because this analysis can be time-consuming, the North Carolina State University team created the Forabot, which can identify six different foram types with a 79% rate of accuracy and process 27 forams an hour.

  • Video: Photocatalyst lights up ammonia-to-hydrogen conversion

    An inexpensive plasmonic photocatalyst harnesses energy from light to turn ammonia into hydrogen fuel.

  • UK Navy to build crewless submarine for defense applications

    Plymouth-based company MSubs was awarded a £15.4 million contract for the development of a crewless submarine by the UK Royal Navy, with an expected 2024 delivery date.

  • Watch this robot climb walls, ceilings using magnetized feet

    Dubbed MARVEL, the quadruped robot can reportedly walk straight up walls and across ceilings thanks to its magnetized feet.
