  • Video: Wave energy system weathers the storms

    The C4 wave energy device developed by CorPower Ocean survived four extreme storm events and demonstrated the ability to tune and detune according to varying sea states.

  • Team develops a hybrid hopping, flying robot

    The researchers explain that the Hopcopter could potentially be used to monitor wildlife, disaster areas, or serve as a farm monitor.

  • New home monitoring system promises to launch paintballs at intruders

    PaintCam Eve is an autonomous property monitoring device designed to protect homeowners from burglars, intruders and even unwanted animal guests with its “zero compliance, zero tolerance” warning.

  • New Cybercrime Index ranks countries according to cybercrime threat level

    The Index demonstrates that just a small number of countries harbor the greatest cybercriminal threats, with Russia reportedly topping that list — followed by Ukraine, China, the U.S., Nigeria and Romania.

  • Computer vision tool counts damaged buildings, bird flocks

    The framework, dubbed DISCount, reportedly combines the speed and data-analyzing power of AI with the reliability of human analysis to immediately deliver reliable estimates that can quickly assess and count features from very large collections of images.

  • New AI tool identifies boulders ahead of offshore construction

    Ocean Geophysics developed their new AI-driven boulder identification tool, which uses a machine learning algorithm to automatically detect boulders as small as 25 cm in size.

  • Biogas moisture, corrosion and accuracy issues resolved with rugged FCI Thermal ST100A wet gas flow meter

    The meter is ideal where biogas is present in wastewater treatment digesters, landfill operations, oil/gas and petrochemical refinery stacks, and for power plant rain shielding.

  • Energy-X receives $1.4 million DOE grant for next-gen heat pump development

    In this project, the team will design, develop and study next-gen evaporator technologies inspired by the intricacies of human lung function.

  • System designed to refuel in-orbit satellites

    The in-flight refueler will advance space mobility and logistics capabilities beyond the constraint of launching with a fixed lifetime supply of fuel.

  • Data-driven techniques for advancing smart grids

    Improved control operations, energy management, condition monitoring, forecasting, energy transaction security and fraud characterization are all possible with a data-driven automated grid.

  • Video: The next generation of orebody technology tools for mineral exploration and mining

    New orebody knowledge tools promise to improve, automate and digitally transform orebody sciences in exploration, resource definition and production.

  • Sonar equipped smart-glasses track gaze, facial expressions

    These technologies are reportedly small enough to be placed on commercial smart-glasses as well as on virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) headset.

  • Ultra-low profile XY-Theta nanopositioning stage uses air bearings

    Unlike conventional multi-axis stages, the A-361 employs only one moving platform shared among all three axes.

  • Samsung launches Bespoke AI kitchen appliances

    These products build on new AI-powered technology to make meal planning and cooking easier than ever.

  • New tech uses AI to avoid collisions with wild animals

    A team of researchers is building a computer vision model that automatically detects wild animals on Brazilian roadways.

  • Precision measurement in harsh conditions

    Sensors that are rugged and durable in harsh environments are the sole solution to surpass other existing options in the market that may not be suited for the toughest applications.

  • Take a flying ferry to work

    An electric hydrofoil ferry will provide daily transport to the Manapouri Power Station across Lake Manapouri in New Zealand.
