Open data access for fair justice gets a boost from AI
Researchers are developing an AI platform that allows users to access the information and insights within federal court records. Those records are currently behind a paywall and often require data and analytic expertise to find and analyze.
Watch: Shape-shifting implant materials are 3D printed
A reactive 3D-printing method decouples printing and shape-programming steps, enabling a broad range of complex architectures and virtually any arbitrary shape changes.
Team answers mystery surrounding high-performance data storage
The volume of the invar materials barely expands when heated and now researchers know why.
Video: A simple DIY ventilator for COVID-19 patients
The do-it-yourself (DIY) emergency ventilator is based on the automation of the manually operated bag valve mask widely used to deliver air into a patient’s lungs.
Is the hyperloop about to go mainstream?
U.S. House of Representatives includes Virgin Hyperloop in its future of transportation act.
Watch: A longer life for legacy robots
Old robots do not have to die and fade away: they can be refurbished to extend and expand service life in a bid to improve the environmental sustainability of robotics technology.
Clippard debuts new high pressure control system
