Machine Learning for Mastitis Diagnosis in Cows

Artificial intelligence could help vets to more accurately diagnose the origin of mastitis on dairy herds, according to a new study.

Electric Medium and Heavy-Duty Trucks; Evolution and Revolution

Along with the rest of the automotive sector, the medium and heavy-duty truck market is evolving. Governments around the world, recognising the potentially catastrophic repercussions of unfettered climate change and witnessing the detrimental impact on human health from vehicle exhaust pollutant emissions in urban environments, are taking decisive action, that will, in the coming decades, drive vehicle manufacturers to zero on-road exhaust emission powertrain solutions. Consequently, the days of the fossil fuel powered combustion engine are numbered.

Thermal Interface Materials for Electric Vehicle Battery Packs

The EV market is booming. The battery is a key feature for both cost and performance, the chemistry and cell levels are extensively discussed. However, everything else that goes into a pack is often overlooked.

New Catalyst Provides Boost to Next-Generation EV Batteries

A research team has announced that a new catalyst that could boost metal-air batteries performance, such as discharge and charge efficiency, was developed recently.

Wiliot

Wiliot are developing a battery-free sensor/ID tag that is capable of transmitting Bluetooth signals. It harvests its energy ambient EM radiation via a printed antennae and a bare chip. Due to its combination of capability, simplicity and cloud integration this could be the technology that finally makes the 'Internet of Things' a reality...

DARPA Seeks New Class of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

DARPA's Manta Ray Program aims to demonstrate critical technologies for a new class of long duration, long range, payload-capable unmanned underwater vehicles that operate for extended durations without the need for on-site human logistics support or maintenance offer the potential for persistent operations during longer term deployments.

Smart Wound Healing Patch: DARPA Awards $22 Million Grant

Neuroengineers and bioengineers are part of a national team that's developing "smart" technology that combines artificial intelligence, bioelectronics and regenerative medicine to regrow muscle tissue for wounded soldiers.

Floating Battery as Clean Energy Source for City and Port

Skoon Energy and Port of Amsterdam start Project Clean Amsterdam, with the launch of a floating battery to provide clean energy to port activities and the city of Amsterdam.

Graphene, Perovskites and Silicon, an Ideal Tandem for Solar Cells

Laws of physics limit the maximum efficiency of silicon solar cells to 32%. For that reason, scientists have spent decades trying to come up with other alternatives, such as III-V and perovskites. However, the latter present several manufacturing challenges, and scaling up the production of solar panels is a key step towards success.

Gas Sensor Innovations Enable New Markets to Come

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and screen-printing techniques open the door to miniaturised gas sensors and enable the integration of such gas sensors into many consumer devices, such as mobile phones and wearable devices.

Allowing Robots to Feel

With the help of machine learning, researchers have developed a novel yet low-​cost tactile sensor. The sensor measures force distribution at high resolution and with great accuracy, enabling robot arms to grasp sensitive or fragile objects.

Graphene Solar Heating Film

Researchers have developed a highly efficient solar absorbing film that absorbs sunlight with minimal heat loss and rapidly heats up to 83°C in an open environment.

Corning

I caught up with Corning on the topic of thin flexible glass. The first I heard about this project was during a 2010 demonstration of the rollable glass at SID. It has therefore been a long journey already.

Chasm

Chasm develops and manufactures carbon nanotube hybrids, which are a combination of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) plus another material to make an advanced material with properties better than either material alone.

mm-wave 5G: beam forming technologies, architectures, and ICs

The shift to 5G is motivated by the access to the higher bandwidths, lower latencies, and higher data rates which are available at higher frequencies. This shift has already begun although the current and near-term phase is about the adoption of sub-6GHz 5G.

Making Soft Robots Work Harder

Some fear robots might one day take over the world. But before they do that, machines will first have to learn how to walk over uneven surfaces. Researchers are trying to make robots more adaptive and safer for humans to interact with by developing soft robotic legs that respond to surfaces more naturally.
