The gel demonstrated an adsorption capacity of about six times its weight in humid conditions and 90 percent of this water could be recovered.
In arid areas, vapor from the air is the only option but needs an inexpensive and scalable technique to produce large amounts of water.
The Chinese firm, Unitree, claims that its upgraded humanoid robot, “powertrain provides the highest level of speed, power, maneuverability and flexibility.”
Chinese robotic systems firm Unitree marks a groundbreaking development with the upgrade of its humanoid robot.
The robot, called H1, has also been billed as the ‘world’s most powerful general-purpose humanoid robot’ with its advanced “powertrain [which] provides the highest level of speed, power, maneuverability and flexibility,” claims Unitree’s website.
Situated in Hangzhou, just outside Shanghai, Unitree Robotics was established in 2017. The company’s mission is to democratize legged robotics, aspiring to make them as widespread and cost-effective as smartphones and drones are in contemporary times.
The Royal New Zealand Navy is currently awaiting the arrival of its latest Uncrewed Surface Vessel, the wind-powered “Bluebottle,” ahead of a 7-month sea trial.
The Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) will soon receive its first 22.3-foot (6.8-meter) long renewable-powered Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) to trial on a short-term lease, the New Zealand Defense Force has announced. Called “Bluebottle,” the USV will provide persistent surveillance around the waters of New Zealand for fishery protection, border protection, or meteorological data.

HMNZS Aotearoa is currently transporting the USV from Sydney to Auckland. Once operational, “Bluebottle” will undertake maritime tasks without fuel or personnel on its planned seven-month-long trial. Designed and built by Sydney-based Ocius Technology, the company has sold several USVs to the Australian Defence Force and collaborated with the Australian Border Force, energy, and scientific agencies.
With a processor that has fewer qubits, IBM has improved error correction, paving the way for the use of these processors in real life.
IBM has unveiled its much-awaited 1,000+ qubit quantum processor Condor, alongside a utility-scale processor dubbed IBM Quantum Heron at its Quantum Summit in New York. The latter is the first in the series of utility-scale quantum processors that IBM took four years to build, the company said in a press release.
Quantum computers, considered the next frontier of computing, have locked companies big and small in a race to build the platform that everybody would want to use to solve complex problems in medicine, physics, mathematics, and many more.
Even the fastest supercomputers of today are years behind the potential of quantum computers, whose capabilities keep improving with the addition of quantum bits or qubits in the processor. So, a 1,000+ qubit processor is a big deal, and even though a startup may have beaten IBM to this milestone, the latter’s announcement is still significant for what else IBM brings to the table.
Jellagen and NPL’s groundbreaking research unveils jellyfish collagen’s potential for medical applications, from tissue regeneration to lab-grown organs.
WASHINGTON – Australian in-space servicing startup Space Machines Company announced plans Dec. 5 to work with U.S. on-orbit refueling startup Orbit Fab to validate and demonstrate key technologies.
SMC is the first non-U.S. customer to use Orbit Fab’s fiducial alignment markers. The markers are painted on SMC’s Optimus Orbital Servicing Vehicle, which is set to launch in early 2024 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare flight.
Orbit Fab’s fiducial markers are designed to act like a QR code, ensuring, for example, that a fuel shuttle replenishes the correct client. The fiducial markers also ensure proper spacecraft alignment for docking.

It’s hard to believe that there’s a Tesla Model S out there with nearly 1.2 million miles on its odometer, but indeed there is. And here it is.
The car, a 2014 Model S P85, has racked up 1.18 million miles so far, which works out to approximately 131,000 miles per year. Could you imagine driving that much? And doing so in an electric car, which naysayers often state can’t go the distance. Well, we think this car proves that EVs can be driven a significant amount of miles per year and that the charging infrastructure, at least in some parts of the world, can support high-mileage drives.
