  • AI to assist lifeguards at the pool

    Lynxight's technology combines AI software and swimmer behavior analysis with a building’s security cameras to perform real-time monitoring both above and below the water.

  • Explore climate datasets for the UK

    Users can digest the data in easy-to-use formats to improve decision making and inform the evolution of regional- or location specific plans.

  • Portable printed sensor simplifies water pollution monitoring

    The low-cost, 3D-printed sensor detects very low concentrations of pesticides in water.

  • A technique to cut metal testing complexity

    Metal cutting coupled with high-speed photography and new data analysis techniques offers an accessible method to explore metal behavior under extreme conditions.

  • Sensor swiftly spots COVID agents in indoor air

    Results are returned in about five minutes from a device that can also monitor for flu and other respiratory viruses.

  • Raman lidar goes underwater to monitor oil

    The system can remotely distinguish various substances underwater, and can measure the thickness of oil up to 12 m away.

  • Four-armed robotic surgical system developed for laparoscopic surgery

    The EPFL team claims that their four-armed robotic surgical system, which is designed to perform laparoscopic surgeries — surgeries that are performed in the abdomen or pelvis using small incisions with the aid of a camera — is the first of its kind.

  • Radar-targeting battle gear designed to destroy drones

    The Smash Hopper performs according to remote commands given by the operator. Meanwhile, RADA’s radar detects drones from many kilometers away and alerts combat units of possible threats.

  • New algorithm identifies biological sex via dental X-rays

    Researchers developed and trained an algorithm to determine the biological sex of a subject using dental X-rays with a 94% rate of accuracy.

  • MIT builds magnetic robot that promises to inch its way into human blood vessels

    The soft robot moves via an inchworm-like mechanism that is achieved via magnetized rubber polymer spirals.

  • Waterloo team breaks voice authentication within six tries

    Researchers created an approach that avoids spoofing countermeasures, fooling most voice authentication systems within six attempts.

  • The AutoCado automates guacamole prep at Chipotle

    The aptly named AutoCado can reportedly take over the manual tasks of guacamole prep — cutting, coring and peeling avocados — thereby saving both time and resources.

  • A digital twin for the first commercial fusion facility

    Supercomputing, artificial intelligence and the Industrial Metaverse will advance development of the U.K.'s prototype fusion power plant.

  • Sensor chip speeds disease diagnostics

    The device can detect many disease pathogens with 10 times the sensitivity of currently available methods.

  • Clearpath Robotics announces Husky Observer

    The mobile robotic system is designed to accelerate inspection solutions.

  • Taco expands light commercial ECM pump offering

    These self-sensing, close-coupled, mechanically sealed in-line circulator pumps exceed industry and efficiency standards with an advanced hydraulic design.

  • Bolting Systems announces new hydraulic pump

    The Bolting Systems PE60 series pumps meet a wide array of high-pressure bolting tool applications requiring durability, speed and performance. These include power generation, machinery maintenance, construction and utility applications.

  • This drone can enter burning buildings, woodlands

    Composed of thermal aerogel insulation material, the FireDrone also features an onboard cooling system that enables it to withstand temperatures up to 200° C for 10 minutes.
