A fully autonomous, commercial robo-taxi service with no backup drivers is about to launch in San Francisco, after the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued its first-ever Driverless Deployment Permit to GM subsidiary Cruise.Continue Rea… Continue reading California permits Cruise to launch fully driverless taxi services
Most drones need to tilt to move and correct against gusts of wind. Pitch Aero’s Astria, however, can keep itself preternaturally level and stable, thanks to a novel use of cyclorotors that opens up a range of use cases other drones can’t handle.Contin… Continue reading Non-tilting cyclorotor drone boasts unique abilities
Puerto Rico-based Red Cat Holdings has announced what it believes is the first and only commercially available multi-drone swarm system, allowing several DoD-approved drones to perform co-ordinated tasks under the control of a single pilot.Continue Rea… Continue reading You can now buy a co-ordinated multi-drone swarm in a box
Energica has expanded its range of premium electric motorcycles with a new Experia “green tourer,” built for long-range, two-up comfort with hard luggage, multi-level charging and the largest-capacity battery we’ve ever seen on a volume production bike… Continue reading Energica Experia electric tourer debuts with a whopper of a battery
Renewable energy is intermittent, so energy storage and release will be critical in the next few decades. IIASA researchers have put forth a fascinating solution, proposing to turn skyscrapers into giant gravity batteries for remarkably cheap renewable… Continue reading Lift Energy Storage System: Turning skyscrapers into gravity batteries
Ah, those magnificent men in their flying machines. They go up, diddly-up-up. They go down, diddly-own-down. French sky-surfer and Green Goblin lookalike Franky Zapata went down diddly-own-down in frightening fashion at an airshow on the weekend.Contin… Continue reading Video: Franky Zapata survives whirling jetboard crash
America’s leading eVTOL company has received Part 135 certification from the FAA, so it can now begin offering on-demand commercial air taxi operations. Not with its eVTOL aircraft, mind you – that’s still a long way from being type approved.Continue R… Continue reading Joby receives FAA Air Carrier certification to start air taxi services
Arkenlight and Axorus have teamed up to prototype the first artificial neuron powered by a diamond betavoltaic battery made from nuclear waste. The goal is to develop medical-grade implants with energy sources that will last decades without charging.Co… Continue reading Nuclear waste diamonds to power artificial neuron implants for decades
Researchers at EPFL have demonstrated a light-based 3D-printing method that’s about 30 times faster than conventional additive manufacturing, creating objects in 20 seconds that would normally take more like 10 minutes thanks to photocurable resins.Con… Continue reading EPFL’s super-fast 3D-printing technique makes resin objects in seconds
