The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has issued an open call to the robotics industry soliciting expert proposals to create more power-efficient robots. The agency aims to maximize robotic technology potential and improve the power efficiency of current robots by 2,000 percent. Robots are h...
It used to be that technology companies would head to one or more of the plethora of industry trade shows to introduce new products and showcase their latest offerings. But in recent years many large companies have forgone the shows and instead have offered company-specific conferences and events. T...
Researchers at Rice University have developed a paint that works as a battery, and it could change the way batteries are produced and reduce energy storage restrictions. The paint-on battery is similar in material balance to traditional lithium-ion batteries. It has five layers -- a positive and a ...
Skydivers, mountain bikers and rappellers donned Google Glasses on Wednesday and captured video of their stunts at the Google I/O conference, giving the world a glimpse of the capabilities of this new wearable technology. Google is selling the glasses for $1,500 to U.S.-based developers who were in ...
Twisted infrared light beams have propelled wireless data transmission to a dazzling 2.56 terabits per second via a system developed by a multinational team of researchers led by the Optical Communications Laboratory at the University of Southern California. The process, called "orbital angular mome...
A neural network built over the years by researchers from Stanford University and Google has managed to teach itself to recognize faces and cats. The network consists of 16,000 processors on a cluster of 1,000 computers. After being exposed to 10 million images downloaded from the Internet, the netw...
To test the 1-gigapixel AWARE-2 camera his team developed, David Brady, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Duke University, took it out to Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge in eastern North Carolina and took a few snapshots of tundra swans. "Normally, with bird photography you'...
Last week, Microsoft effectively ended the model that created it. This shouldn't have been a surprise, as the model hasn't been working well for years and, as a result, Microsoft has been getting its butt kicked all over the market by Apple. Well Microsoft apparently has had enough, and it decide...
This summer, Tesla is rolling out its luxury electric car, the Model S, amid much acclaim. "The design and efficiency of the Model S are unparalleled," said electric vehicle consultant Shannon Arvizu. "It's a stunningly beautiful car that is incredibly affordable to operate and has 'oh-my-god' wow p...
Sharp introduced its new 90-inch Aquos LED TV on Tuesday -- what it's calling "the largest TV on the planet." At 4-ft. tall and 6-ft., 8-in. wide, it's sure to dominate the room. Content is displayed at 1080p, the highest resolution available. The TV has a suggested retail price of $10,999.99. It's ...
It's a cute little robot learning how to say "green" and "blue." And as part of a major project undertaken by robotics researchers at the University of Hertfordshire, it's also promising to transform perceptions of how robots -- and humans -- learn language. DeeChee, which is built to look, act and ...
IBM's Sequoia supercomputer has headed up the most recent Top500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers. The list, released on Monday at the 2012 International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg, Germany, is compiled twice a year. Sequoia has overtaken Fujitsu's K Computer, installed at the RI...
Nanomachines are, simply, very small machines, and the goal of medical nanotechnologists is to create these tiny machines in order to treat diseases at the molecular level. The body, however, already has plenty of its own nanomachines in the form of proteins that assemble themselves to transform the...
Corning unveiled a new flexible glass -- called "Willow Glass" -- at the Society for Information Display's Boston Display Week on Monday. It's about as thick and flexible as a piece of paper, while having the strength, durability and other qualities of existing glass. Willow Glass can be made as thi...
Leap Motion released its new Leap motion control system for pre-order on Monday, with shipment promised in early 2013. The $69.99 Leap is 200 times more sensitive than any similar existing technology and allows for a variety of natural and intuitive 3D motion controls. Leap Motion is shipping out de...
