There are various teams around the world who focused on development of robots able to recognize and respond to human gestures – abilities which make them suitable for their daily use around us.  Researchers from the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Institute for Infocomm Research in Singapore adapted a cognitive memory model named… »

Researchers in Cornell’s Personal Robotics Lab have developed a new algorithm which enables a robot to rely on its artificial intelligence to look at a group of objects instead recognizing single objects placed in front of its sensors. The algorithm enables the robot to  survey its surroundings, identify all the objects, figure out where they… »

Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have devised a system that could ultimately be used to restore sight to people who have lost vision due to certain types of degenerative eye diseases. Although their results were achieved on rat retinas, the scientists are now testing the system in live rats, taking both physiological… »

Lately, a lot of news reported about new light bulbs which are on their way or ready to hit the market, and I felt obliged to clarify and guide you for your next purchase. No, I’m not going to recommend my favorite company, technology or model, but rather explain how declared longevity, watts, volts, kelvins… »

Honeywell announced that they have developed PowerShield 3W – third-generation laminate film designed to protect photovoltaic panels from harsh environments. It is a cost-effective backsheet for photovoltaic panels that protects the electrical circuits in solar panel modules, preventing moisture from entering the module and keeping electrical charges within the module, thus ensuring maximum power output… »

Developed on a former brownfield site situated between the Greater New Orleans Biosciences Economic Development District and the New Orleans Medical District, on the 1400 block of Canal Street, the New Orleans BioInnovation Center represents an example of city’s sense of rebirth in an environmentally friendlier manner which received LEED Gold certification for its sustainable… »

Microchips and integrated circuits in today’s computers and devices are becoming increasingly smaller and more complex. If you ever followed news about components or read vanity bragging from device manufacturers, you may have noticed they use terms concerting circuit printing technology or lithography. Fraunhofer Institute researchers claim they have found the next generation solution that… »

Researchers from the University College London (UCL) managed to construct the first purely silicon oxide-based ‘Resistive RAM’ (ReRAM) memory chip that can operate in ambient conditions. ReRAM chips promise far greater speed than currently available memory technologies, significantly greater memory storage, such as the Flash memory used on USB sticks, and require much less energy… »
