- Fifteen shows off the latest generation of its shared, docked bikes Fifteen might not be a familiar name, but you may already know some of Fifteen’s bikes. Fifteen is the new name of the companies formerly known as Smoove and Zoov — these two companies with weird names merged a couple of years ago. Smoove is one of the companies behind...
- Caltech's Battle of the Bots Returns for 38th Year As with many of Caltech's time-honored traditions, the annual ME72 Engineering Design Competition pushes students to the limits of possibility. Unlike other Caltech traditions, ME72 involves ball-launching, self-driving, all-terrain robots—which occasionally burst into flames.Every year from September to March, third-year mechanical engineering undergraduates take ME 72, a two-term, hands-on lab...
- Robot snail advances with novel soft material A robotic snail powered by the breakthrough self-healing, electrically conductive composite material. Photo: Carnegie Mellon University College of Engineering.Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a soft material with metal-like conductivity and self-healing properties that is the first to maintain enough electrical adhesion to support digital electronics and motors. This...
- Sorting and recycling plastic is notoriously hard—but this AI could help Recycling plastic is notoriously troublesome, but machine learning could improve accuracy. Deposit PhotosBarely 5 percent of all plastic intended for recycling facilities ends up in a new product. The post Sorting and recycling plastic is notoriously hard—but this AI could help appeared first on Popular Science....
- ‘Magic’ solvent creates stronger polymer coatings This micrograph image shows a coating produced by the novel chemical vapor deposition technique. Image: Cornell University.Researchers at Cornell University have developed a new all-dry polymerization technique that uses reactive vapors to create thin films with enhanced properties such as mechanical strength, kinetics and morphology. This synthesis process is gentler...
- Electromagnetic Simulation Using 3DEXPERIENCE Simulia In our smart connected world, we are rapidly adopting products that are stacked with sensors, antennas and similar devices for communication, data acquisition or monitoring. With Artificial Intelligence-based technologies and a high level of automation that is dominating our daily lives, we are relying on electromagnetic components more than ever....

- Microelectronics give researchers a remote control for biological robots By Liz Ahlberg Touchstone First, they walked. Then, they saw the light. Now, miniature biological robots have gained a new trick: remote control. The hybrid “eBiobots” are the first to combine soft materials, living muscle and microelectronics, said researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University and collaborating institutions....
- Cracking the short-circuit mystery in lithium-metal batteries This artists illustration shows one probe bending from applied pressure, causing a fracture in the solid electrolyte, which is filling with lithium. On the right, the probe is not pressing against the electrolyte, and the lithium plates on the ceramic surface as desired. Image: Cube3D.Lithium-metal batteries with solid electrolytes are...
