Wastewater treatment plants generally aren’t known for their nice smell, and they have to be monitored in order to ensure that they’re not becoming too stinky. An experimental new system uses an “e-nose” and a drone to do the job better.Continue Readin… Continue reading Drone-mounted electronic nose used to assess wastewater plant odor
Jaundice affects about 60 percent of newborn babies, and while it usually clears up on its own, it can lead to hearing loss or brain damage. It’s therefore important to detect and treat the condition as soon as possible, which is exactly what a new cam… Continue reading Webcam system detects jaundice in babies, and begins treatment
Two years ago we first heard about the AB5 JetQuad, a jet-powered VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) drone. Well, it’s time to meet its new-and-improved successor, the AB6. Among other things, it has an estimated top speed of 250 mph.Continue Reading… Continue reading AB6 JetQuad drone gives the quadcopter concept a shot of jet fuel
Last month, social media giant Facebook rebranded as Meta and revealed its vision for the future of online interaction. Much of the news so far has focused on what immersed users will see, but the company is also working on bringing touch to the Metave… Continue reading Facebook-Meta working on lightweight gloves for tactile realism in VR
Climate change is expected to have a big impact on crop yields and food security over the coming decades, as farmers contend with rising temperatures and increasingly abnormal conditions. Scientists working on solutions to this problem continue to demo… Continue reading Gene-edited barley to bolster beer production in face of climate change
Adhesives that hold strong in wet environments are elusive, but could be useful for underwater repairs or healing in the body. Researchers have now developed a new type of adhesive hydrogel that combines the underwater stickiness of mussels with the st… Continue reading New adhesive boasts stickiness of mussels and strength of spider silk
When the emerging history of electric VTOL aircraft is written, Thomas Senkel will undoubtedly be one of the first names that comes up. You might recognize him better sitting in a chair on top of a levitating yoga ball in the Wright Brothers moment of … Continue reading eVTOL pioneer Thomas Senkel unveils tandem-wing air taxi prototype
