Robots are learning to feel the water

Robots are learning to feel the water

For decades, underwater robots have tried to overpower the ocean. They have used hard shells, fixed wings, and strong motors to move through rough water. When currents change or waves get bigger, thei...

The helicopter is hitting a wall. Airbus wants to redesign it

Europe is not just designing a new helicopter; it is evaluating how much it can advance the physics of vertical flight. Airbus Helicopters has proposed two concepts for NATO’s Next Generation Rotorcraft Capability (NGRC) study. One is a high-performance conventional helicopter. The other is a hig...

Robots are learning to feel the water

For decades, underwater robots have tried to overpower the ocean. They have used hard shells, fixed wings, and strong motors to move through rough water. When currents change or waves get bigger, their control systems use more energy to stay steady. Now, engineers are trying a new approach. Inste...

Europe is trying to industrialize stellarators before anyone else

Europe is trying to industrialize stellarators before anyone else

For decades, fusion energy has stayed in labs as a tough physics problem involving magnets and math. Now, Europe seems ready to see if this science can become real-world energy systems. Proxima Fusion, a Munich-based startup spun out of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, has signe...

A new way to grow diamonds could cool the next generation of chips

A new way to grow diamonds could cool the next generation of chips

One of the biggest challenges in advanced electronics today is keeping devices cool. Chips can get so hot that heat removal now limits performance more than the number or speed of transistors. Researchers at Rice University have demonstrated a new way to grow diamond structures directly on semico...
