After making its first manned eVTOL flight last June, Florida’s Doroni Aerospace has announced its next model. The H1X rocks coaxial ducted fans and pusher props, and targets 120 mph (200 km/h) cruise speeds for up to 40 minutes.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Doroni announces fan-in-wing, cruise-capable buy ‘n’ fly eVTOL
“I’ve never seen any technology advance faster than this.” The chip shortage may be behind us, but AI and EVs are expanding at such a rapacious rate that the world will face supply crunches in electricity and transformers next year, says Elon Musk.Cont… Continue reading Elon Musk: AI will run out of electricity and transformers in 2025
You’ve seen a ton of videos of humanoid robots – but this one feels different. It’s Sanctuary’s Phoenix bot, with “the world’s best robot hands,” working totally autonomously at near-human speeds – much faster than Tesla’s or Figure’s robots.Continue R… Continue reading High-speed humanoid feels like a step change in robotics
Hovering uncannily close to the waves, the Airfish-8 carves its way over water three times quicker than a boat, and 2.3 times more efficiently than an aircraft. Singapore’s ST Engineering has announced its first orders, set to enter service in 2025.Con… Continue reading Airfish-8 wing-in-ground effect aircraft slated for service in 2025
Most humanoid robots pick things up with their hands – but that’s not how we humans do it, particularly when we’re carrying something bulky. We use our chests, hips and arms as well – and that’s the idea behind Toyota’s new soft robot.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Toyota’s new soft humanoid picks things up with its whole body
It seems the Figure 01 won’t just be making coffee when it shows up to work at BMW. New video shows the humanoid getting its shiny metal butt to work, doing exactly the sort of “pick this up and put it over there” tasks it’ll be doing in factories.Cont… Continue reading March of the humanoids: Figure shows off autonomous warehouse work
Google DeepMind’s Genie turns images into playable video games in one step – but it’s just the latest in a rapidly converging list of technologies that point to a bizarre sci-fi future of interactive entertainment, designed and run by real-time AIs.Con… Continue reading Google Genie and the AIs set to revolutionize gaming
A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally found in these complex shapes.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading 3D-printed titanium lattice is 50% stronger than WE54 aerospace alloy
There’s enough natural hydrogen trapped underground to meet all projected demands for hundreds of years. An unpublished report by the US Geological Survey identifies it as a new primary resource, and fires the starter pistol on a new gold rush.Continue… Continue reading Trillions of tons of buried hydrogen: Clean energy gold rush begins
A potentially game-changing and largely unexplored energy jackpot lies beneath the ocean floor, according to a whitepaper from geoscience tech consultancy CGG. Unique conditions under the sea bed promise cheaper and more accessible geothermal power.Con… Continue reading Massive geothermal potential found offshore, where the Earth splits
