- Watch a ‘flying fish’ drone hover in the air and then swim underwater Aaron Burden / UnsplashIt's at home buzzing over dry ground, but then plunges into a pool. Here's how the flying machine works. The post Watch a ‘flying fish’ drone hover in the air and then swim underwater appeared first on Popular Science....
- Megawatt electrical motor designed by MIT engineers could help electrify aviatio... Technology demonstrations show the machine’s major components achieve the required performance....
- Bioengineering, Vol. 10, Pages 698: Overground Robotic Gait Trainer mTPAD Improv... Stroke is a leading cause of disability, impairing the ability to generate propulsive forces and causing significant lateral gait asymmetry. We aim to improve stroke survivors’ gaits by promoting weight-bearing during affected limb stance. External forces can encourage this; e.g., vertical forces can augment the gravitational force requiring higher ground...
- NASA spends $45M to seed tech from hundreds of space businesses Hundreds of small aerospace businesses will receive grant funding from NASA to accelerate their technologies, as part of a wider government program to seed cutting-edge American enterprises. A total of 249 small businesses and 39 research institutions received Phase I grants under the space agency’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)...
- This concept cruise ship will have solar-paneled sails, an AI copilot, and zero... The ship's three retractable sails will be covered in solar panels. VARD DesignHurtigruten Norway hopes to have their sustainable liner hit the high seas by 2030. The post This concept cruise ship will have solar-paneled sails, an AI copilot, and zero emissions appeared first on Popular Science....
- NASA’s Psyche Asteroid Mission Back on Stellar Track – Extraordinary Turnaround... Review Board: NASA-JPL Psyche Progress Outstanding, Launch on Track An independent review board praised the “world-class” efforts of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech in......
- A robot inspired by centipedes has no trouble finding its footing Centipedes' undulating movements can sometimes improve robot mobility. Deposit PhotosResearchers at Osaka University designed a 'myriapod' bot that uses less energy and computational power than other walking machines.

- Stoke Space has received repeated investments from the venture arm for the U.S.... Stoke Space has received multiple investments from In-Q-Tel, the strategic investor for the U.S. intelligence and defense community, TechCrunch has learned. Stoke Space and In-Q-Tel have not publicly announced their relationship before. While In-Q-Tel is legally a separate entity from any government agency, it receives all of its funding from...
- Mars rover snaps pics of dusty craters that may have once roared with water NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover captured this mosaic of an isolated hill nicknamed “Pinestand.” Scientists think sedimentary layers stacked on top of one another here could have been formed by a deep, fast-moving river. NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSSNASA’s ‘six-wheeled scientist’ is chugging along. The post Mars rover snaps pics of dusty craters that may...
