There are many efforts to invent ways to make water desalination a low energy consumption process. Water purification usually requires a lot of energy as well, while utility companies need large amounts of water for energy production. Their goal is to find a low-energy-required treatment technology. Researchers from the University of Colorado Denver College of… »
Using ambient energy (such as light, vibration, heat, radio waves, etc.) to produce electrical energy is being developed by many researchers around the globe. The folks from Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. recently announced that they have developed a new hybrid energy harvesting device capable to generate electricity from either heat or light. Instead using multiple harvesting… »
We already wrote many articles regarding 3D image reproduction such as 3D displays, physical 3D pixels, and various ways to simulate holography as well as the real photography stored in 3D, and in this article we’re going to write about holographic digital prints from Zebra Imaging, a company founded in 1996 by graduates of the… »
Misool Eco Resort is an exclusive dive resort and conservation centre located in the southern part of Raja Ampat, Indonesia. It is located at a private resort island Batbitim, which is fringe with powder-white beaches, protected by stunning clear lagoons and abundant reefs. With just nine guest holiday cottages, Misool Eco Resort is able to… »
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology IPK, in Berlin, have been working on a human-sized manufacturing robot that could bring greater flexibility to industrial mass production process. Unlike the specialized assembly line robots, the human sized pi4-workerbot is being developed as a multi-purpose robot with a wider range of potential… »
By allowing aircraft to quickly sense which way is “up” by imitating how honeybees see, engineers and researchers at The Vision Centre, Queensland Brain Institute and the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at The University of Queensland, have enabled planes to guide themselves through extreme maneuvers, including the loop, the barrel roll and… »
QD Vision, Inc. and LG Display announced a joint development agreement focused on creating highly-efficient, high-performance active matrix displays based on electroluminescent quantum dot LED (QLED) nanotechnology. Quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) represent an advanced electroluminescent technology that shows the potential to be used for the next generation of electronic displays and solid-state lighting… »
Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) in Stuttgart have successfully performed a process of genetic robotics where a moving robot was automatically designed without the intervention of a designing engineer. Genetic Robots are moving robots that can be created by using genetic software algorithms and additive manufacturing. The important role… »
