NASA’s ARMADAS team revolutionizes space construction! Inchworm-like robots autonomously build structures using digital assembly systems.
The European Commission has officially signed an agreement to develop a new program to connect the various assets of EU-member state military forces.
LATACC will boost European military collaboration, focusing on rapid response and tech innovation in ‘high-intensity’ conflicts.
The investment arm of the group is involved in the construction of a 3,100 MW wind energy farm and a hydrogen production project in Sweden.
Hydrogen production generates oxygen as a byproduct which can be used in oceans to improve marine ecosystems.
Caltech’s Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD-1) was launched into space one year ago.
After nearly a year in orbit, Caltech’s Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD-1) reached its end of mission.
As the Roman Space Telescope prepares for launch, it joins a cadre of upcoming missions, including the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Together, these endeavors are poised to reshape our understanding of dark matter, providing valuable data to refine simulations and deepen our comprehension of the universe’s large-scale structure.
In conclusion, NASA’s Roman Space Telescope stands on the precipice of a groundbreaking exploration into the gaps between stars, promising to unveil new dimensions of the cosmos and potentially solve the longstanding mystery of dark matter, NASA release claims.
The research project demonstrated a power output of 20 watts using a fiber-optic laser and aims to increase this to kilowatts in the future.
The main goal of the WiPTherm project was to create an innovative wireless energy transfer system that could recharge energy storage components on micro and nano-sized satellites.
The IFIMUP was tasked with developing thermoelectric sensors capable of absorbing light at 1,550 nm and using them to charge energy storage devices.
After three years of work, the consortium tested their technologies at the São Jacinto airbase in Aveiro, a city on the Portuguese west coast. During this display, the research team succeeded in generating 20 watts of power output using a fiber optic laser and directed it to the sensors.
URI-led team pioneers deep-sea research, revolutionizing species discovery with rapid tissue capture and 3D imaging technologies.
Dive into the future of deep-sea discovery! URI team, led by Prof. Phillips, unveils cutting-edge tech for instant species identification.
The system combines trajectory optimization and enhanced reinforcement learning to improve how ANYmal chooses its leg positions and footholds.
In the field of robotics, the development of legged robots stands as a formidable challenge. The dynamic and agile movements observed in animals prove difficult to replicate through conventional human-made methods.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have now used an innovative control framework that has helped an autonomous robot, ANYmal, to traverse challenging terrains seamlessly.
Negotiating surfaces ranging from staircases to foam blocks and rugged terrain, this robotic quadruped demonstrates a newfound agility and adaptability, showcasing the effectiveness of its upgraded control system.
The autonomous setup constructs and links hollow lattice blocks, adeptly disassembling and repurposing them as needed for efficient functionality.
The researchers envision their new system as revolutionizing material life cycles, fostering sustainability, and furthering space exploration.
The Galaxy S24 will also have a new feature called Circle to Search, which will let users search anything on their screen using Google. Users can press the bottom edge of the screen, where the Google logo and a search bar will pop up, and draw a circle around anything they want to search. The feature will work on most content, except for those protected by DRM or screenshots, such as banking apps. Once the selection is made, a panel will slide up showing the selection and the results from Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE), similar to image search via Google or Lens, but without needing to open another app or take screenshots. Users will be able to circle items in YouTube videos, Instagram Stories, and more.
The Galaxy S24 will also benefit from Google’s Imagen 2, a text-to-image model that can generate realistic images from text descriptions. Imagen 2 will power the photo editing features in the Galaxy S24 Gallery app, such as the Generative Edit feature which also debuted on the Pixel 8 series. It can automatically fill in missing parts of images based on the surrounding context. Imagen 2 was unveiled at Google I/O last year and recently launched in preview on the web.
