The focus of many products has shifted toward a more sustainable, environmentally friendly model.
New software cloaks the work of artists from generative AI
To prevent such a system from copying a style of artwork from an artist, the team used the Glaze software to make imperceptible to the naked eye changes to digital images.
Biosensor technology promises to bring mind control one step closer
To create these dry wearable sensors and overcome issues of corrosion, durability and skin contact resistance, researchers used graphene and combined it with silicon.
Mass spectrometer to fly for NASA
When NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft launches in 2024, the mission will bring a new mass spectrometer to the Jovian system to determine if the moon can support life.
Triage drone promises to improve casualty rates on the battlefield
Under the ATRACT (A Trustworthy Robotic Autonomous system to support Casualty Triage) project, researchers are developing a flying drone that assists with and expedites triage on the battlefield, aiding frontline medics in decision-making in the moments following trauma.
Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US introduces its intelli-HEAT Dual Fuel System
The intelli-HEAT Dual Fuel System is compatible with any thermostatically controlled furnace and works with both single-zone and multi-zone systems.
Purdue's "talking" concrete communicates real-time concrete conditions
The Purdue team has determined that adding sensors to concrete pours could effectively communicate the condition of the concrete, in real time, to engineers.
New 1/2 NPT hollow cone liquid nozzle for cooling and washing
These liquid atomizing spray nozzles provide a hollow cone spray pattern for pressurized liquids.
