Waymo is hitting the highway. The company said starting Wednesday its robotaxis—already a common sight on some city streets—are expanding their routes to freeways and interstates around San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix. And in […]
Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by linking the natural warmth around us to the cold depths of space. The invention could be […]
Major Western ride-hailing platforms like Uber and Lyft sketched a gradual path toward introducing self-driving cars at this week’s Web Summit in Lisbon, with infrastructure, developing regulation and passengers’ preference for human contact weighing on […]
Researcher Cunjiang Yu and his research team, including several of his former students, have announced a significant milestone in materials and electronics engineering: the creation of what they call “rubbery CMOS,” which provides the same […]
Virtual reality and prosthetics are advancing rapidly thanks to technological innovations, but both are still missing one key element—a sense of touch, also known as haptic feedback.This article was originally published on this website.
Because it’s costly and cumbersome to transport large structures such as satellite dishes into space, aerospace Ph.D. student Ivan Wu and his advisor, Jeff Baur, at The Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, […]
Weather forecasting is notoriously wonky—climate modeling even more so. But their slowly increasing ability to predict what the natural world will throw at us humans is largely thanks to two things—better models and increased computing […]
From translating thoughts into words to allowing paralyzed people to walk, the field of neurotechnology has been quietly surging ahead, raising hopes of medical breakthroughs—and profound ethical concerns.This article was originally published on this website.
Concrete 3D printing reduces both time and cost by eliminating traditional formwork, the temporary mold for casting. Yet most of today’s systems rely on extrusion-based methods, which deposit material very close to a nozzle layer […]
Bacterial spores—the hardy survival structures formed by certain bacterial species—are proving to be a game changer in the field of engineered living materials (ELMs). By embedding Bacillus spores within ELMs, Jeong-Joo Oh, Franka van der […]
