Mission to build a better battery for space exploration

A research team has been awarded $1 million in NASA funding for its all solid-state battery, a game-changing technology that could potentially power future space missions.

Students to launch experimental 3-D printer on NASA rocket ship

How would a 3-D printer work in the microgravity of suborbital space after surviving a jarring ride 100 miles above the earth? A group of students hope to have an answer next week after a launch at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility.

Students electrify NASA with future airplane designs

In response to a NASA challenge to design an all-electric propulsion general aviation airplane, five ideas out of the 20 submitted by U.S. universities wowed the judges.

A wi-fi reflector chip to speed up wearables

If the power necessary to transmit and receive information from a wearable to a computer, cellular or Wi-Fi network were reduced, you could get a lot more mileage out of the technology you're wearing before having to recharge it.

Metal parts - the only way 3D printing can become productive

Plastic 3D printing has its place in prototyping and education, but 3D printing in metal is being used to manufacture parts in a wide variety of industries. Metals are the fastest-growing segment of 3D printing, with printer sales growing at 48% and material sales growing at 32%, according to the brand new IDTechEx report 3D Printing of Metals 2015-2025.

EV Insights: Can Motorsport Technology Clean Up Our Cities?

This is an IDTechEx report on the invitation-only meeting "Can Motorsport Technology Clean Up Our Cities?" in London on June 26 2015.

Wearable will allow scientists to work on Mars

NASA and Microsoft have teamed up to develop software called OnSight, a new technology that will enable scientists to work virtually on Mars using wearable technology called Microsoft HoloLens.

Kite-surfing in the stratosphere

NASA gives $100,000 grant to develop a futuristic concept using unmanned aircraft to utilize wind and solar power 50,000 to 60,000 feet above the Earth that someday might augment cell towers and orbital satellites.

3D printing in microgravity environments

Development of 3D printers in a microgravity environment for the Aerospace Industry.

Robotic eel harvests energy from electromagnetic fields

An amphibious robot that can swim through the oceans of distant moons and planets could be the next iteration of self-sustaining, robotic space exploration.

The diversification of 3D printing

Since the commercialization of the first 3D printer in the 1980s, the breadth of end users taking advantage of this technology has continued to grow.

The MRV: next-gen automobile?

The Modular Robotic Vehicle, or MRV, was developed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in order to advance technologies that have applications for future vehicles both in space and on Earth.

Heat-converting material patents licensed

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has licensed patents on high-temperature thermoelectric materials to Evident Technologies, which provides these kinds of materials and related power systems.

LEAPTech to demonstrate electric propulsion technologies

The arrival of a unique experimental demonstrator at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center may herald a future in which many aircraft are powered by electric motors.

Fabrisonic

Fabrisonic is a small technology-focussed business which has developed Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing (UAM) technology. It uses sound waves to merge 150-200 micron layers of metal foil without melting. A succession of metal tapes is built into a three-dimensional shape, with periodic machining operations to create the detailed shape.

Breakthrough in energy harvesting could power 'life on Mars'

Martian colonists could use an innovative new technique to harvest energy from carbon dioxide thanks to research pioneered at Northumbria and Edinburgh Universities.

Astronauts 3D print tools

The International Space Station's 3-D printer completed the first phase of a NASA technology demonstration by printing a tool with a design file transmitted from the ground to the printer.

AOS Thermal Compounds

AOS Thermal Compounds are a manufacturer of non-silicone Thermal Interface Materials.
