Tiny “Electronic Dolphin” Robot Poised to Revolutionize Oil Spill Cleanup

Leave a Comment / Robotics, Tech / Eduardo Paulo

RMIT University engineers in Australia created a remote-controlled minibot that cleans oil spills with a sea urchin-inspired filter. Oil spills are a global threat, damaging ecosystems, endangering wildlife, and costing billions to clean up. To address the global issue, the team built the “Electronic Dolphin” minibot to safely and precisely remove oil from water. The […]

The Most Efficient RC Drone Flies 3.5 Hours on one charge

Leave a Comment / Drones, Transportation & Automation, Uncategorized / Jorge Paka

Most drone engineers specialize in one goal: either speed or endurance. But Luke Bell and Mike Bell, the South African father-and-son duo known for pushing electric quadcopters to extreme speeds, seem determined to master both. Recently, Luke quietly set an unofficial world record for multirotor hover endurance, keeping a drone airborne for 3 hours, 31

Can AI-Powered Drones, Robots, and Wearable Sensors Reshape Workplace Safety?

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Tech / Jorge Paka

About 60% of workers in Canada are likely to see their jobs reshaped by artificial intelligence (AI). In many cases, AI will support and enhance their work rather than replace it. For some employees, it may even help prevent illness, injury, or death. This could take the form of a nurse wearing a sensor-embedded T-shirt

A Lithium Cloud in Earth’s Atmosphere Was Traced to a Returning SpaceX Rocket

Leave a Comment / Aerospace, Space & Environment / Ngoma Manuel

Space debris falling back to Earth is contaminating the once-pristine upper atmosphere with metallic pollutants as it incinerates during re-entry, according to a new study. Published in Communications Earth & Environment, the research was led by Robin Wing of the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Germany. Using highly sensitive laser instruments, the international team

Researchers Have Uncovered a Troubling Finding in Umbilical Cord Blood

Biomedical, Medicine / Ana Kiesse Zeleme

Unborn babies were exposed to significantly higher levels of “forever chemicals” than researchers previously thought—and the full implications are only now starting to come into focus. A new study published today (February 18) in Environmental Science & Technology reports that babies born between 2003 and 2006 were exposed in the womb to far higher levels
