Using inexpensive materials configured and tuned to capture microwave signals, researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering have designed a power-harvesting device with efficiency similar to that of modern solar panels.
The device wirelessly
Since its inception in 1958, NASA has relied exclusively on radio frequency (RF)-based communications as the only viable medium for exchanging data between a mission and a spacecraft. Today, with missions demanding communication with higher data rates than ever
Hearing news about drownings at the Caspian Sea Iranian RTS Lab, led by director Amin Rigi, set out to find a better solution for saving human lives at the sea. Their idea evolved from surface robot that could be operated manually and
Daunting observations made in the Population Institute report, "2030: The 'Perfect Storm' Scenario," clearly illustrate the dire need for innovative solutions concerning the pending worldwide energy and water crisis. According to Science Daily,
Every once in a while an idea comes that can change the way we think about the technology we use. Dave Hakkens, a designer from the Netherlands, saw a problem of phones lasting only a couple of years before they break or become obsolete. And even though
Furusawa group at the University of Tokyo has succeeded in demonstrating complete quantum teleportation of photonic quantum bits by a hybrid technique for the first time worldwide. In 1997, quantum teleportation of photonic quantum bits was achieved by a research team
Apes, dolphins and elephants are animals with remarkable communication skills. Could the internet be expanded to include sentient species like them? It is a new and developing idea from a panel of four great thinkers — dolphin researcher Diana Reiss, musician
Assumptions about how stellar-mass black holes create their highest-energy light have been confirmed by the recent study by NASA astronomers, John Hopkins University and the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Lead scientist Jeremy Schnittman, an astrophysicist at
A series of tests between a regular PC and a commercially available quantum computer showed great potential of the quantum machine, leaving the PC trailing behind. The difference between classical bits and quantum bits, or qubits is that the latter can take the
Pars is an aerial rescue robot designed and built for saving human lives. According to RTS Lab, which designed it, Pars uses new technologies that help guide and navigate it, including sound and image processing, autopilot, artificial intelligence and an
