A Dutch startup spun out of the Delft University of Technology has launched the Kitepower Hawk, a wind energy storage solution that’s designed to replace diesel generators for small island communities, on construction sites or in agriculture.Continue R… Continue reading Container-based mobile battery hub recharged by kite power
A student team from TU Delft presented the latest Eco-Runner in May, a hydrogen-powered city car concept designed to be more than a hundred times more fuel-efficient than modern fossil-fuel vehicles. Now the car has set a Guinness distance record.Conti… Continue reading Student team sets distance record with hydrogen city car concept
Is there anything ChatGPT can’t do? Yes, of course, but the list appears to be getting smaller and smaller. Now, researchers have used the large language model to help them design and construct a tomato-picking robot.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics,… Continue reading AI and humans collaborate on first ChatGPT-designed robot
GPS has been a crucial technology for decades, but it does have its limitations, particularly in urban areas where signals can get noisy. Now, engineers in the Netherlands have developed “SuperGPS” – a hybrid positioning system that combines wireless a… Continue reading “SuperGPS” ditches satellites for radio towers for cm-scale tracking
A TU Delft team has demonstrated a one-way superconductor that gives zero resistance in one direction, but blocks current completely in the other. The discovery, long thought impossible, heralds a 400x leap in computing speed and huge energy savings.Co… Continue reading One-way superconducting diode has massive implications for electronics
If one of the motors conks out on a quadcopter drone, the aircraft usually just crashes. Thanks to new research, however, such disabled drones could soon not only remain airborne, but even complete their trip.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, Technolog… Continue reading Onboard cameras allow disabled quadcopters to fly on three motors
Traditional computers, which perform their wonderfully quick calculations using millions of simple on/off transistors organized into logic gates, spent the last half a century getting faster and faster, to the point where we could reasonably expect the… Continue reading Landmark hot qubit research promises bigger, cheaper quantum computers
For at least the past decade, a computer crook variously known as “Yalishanda,” “Downlow” and “Stas_vl” has run one of the most popular “bulletproof” Web hosting services catering to a vast array of phishing sites, cybercrime forums and malware download servers. What follows are a series of clues that point to the likely real-life identity of a Russian man who appears responsible for enabling a ridiculous amount of cybercriminal activity on the Internet today. Continue reading Meet the World’s Biggest ‘Bulletproof’ Hoster
Drone racing pilots are capable of some impressive control and trickery, but autonomous racing drones are also looking to claim their share of the spotlight. Scientists at TU Delft have now developed what is claimed to be the smallest autonomous racing drone on the planet, a feat that involved some serious innovations in the algorithms that control its flight path.
