Stanford engineers have developed a glove that gives robots a sense of touch.

Nearing the end of a 300-million-mile, seven-month long journey, NASA’s InSight lander is set to touch down on the Martian surface.

Festo’s Motion Terminal intelligently controls an array of identical pneumatic valves to perform the functions of numerous parts in a single device.

The world’s first full-body medical scanner can capture a 3D picture of the entire human body in 20 to 30 seconds.

NASA issued a video over the weekend that serves as a trailer for its future programs in space.

The devices adhere to human skin with water, much the same way as a child’s temporary decorative tattoo.

Biojupies relies on cloud technologies to analyze and visualize large amounts of data, such as that acquired by genome sequencing.

GPS does not penetrate water, so autonomous underwater vehicles must rely on other tools to navigate below the surface.

The study found that women viewing photos of peers, who they think are more attractive than herself, suffer self-confidence issues.

The books and augmented reality application help the user efficiently study and learn with an integrated print-mobile approach.

These membranes filter nanoclay particles out of water with twice the efficiency of conventional membranes and take three times longer to foul.

High-resolution climate simulations of 15 tropical cyclones that occurred over the last decade indicates that climate change has intensified rainfall in these events by 5 to 10%

The HYDRA multi-axis vibration test facility mimics the extreme forces that payloads experience during a rocket launch.

Enhanced precision techniques greatly improve GPS integrity and accuracy by correcting for errors inherent in the system like those resulting from satellite orbit uncertainty, imperfect clocks, atmospheric disruption and electronic noise.

Advanced entry level machining centers have flooded the market, providing equal opportunity between custom manufacturers to win profitable bids in response to a customer request for quotation (RFQ). For the advantage, machine shops now need to focus on estimation accuracy and response rate.

Nanobots have been designed to penetrate dense tissue — specifically the vitreous body of the eye.

The Bluefin-9 Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) from Bluefin Robotics (part of General Dynamics Mission Systems) is equipped with a variety of sensors to carry out survey, mapping and detection missions autonomously.
