Sven Lindström, CEO of solar tech companyMidsummer, has said that he finds Tesla’s and SolarCity’s launch of multiple styled solar roof tiles replicating original tile aesthetics very encouraging:

Most robots achieve grasping and tactile sensing through motorised means, which can be excessively bulky and rigid. A Cornell University group has devised a way for a soft robot to feel its surroundings internally, in much the same way humans do.

A Cornell group has devised a way for a soft robot to feel its surroundings internally, in much the same way humans do.A group led by Robert Shepherd, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and principal investigator of Organic Robotics Lab, has published a paper describing how stretchable optical waveguides act as curvature, elongation and force sensors in a soft robotic hand.

A new supply partnership has been announced by Tsubaki Europe, with Polish manufacturer of agricultural machinery, Unia Group.As a result of this partnership, Tsubaki chains will be installed as standard on a number of models within Unia’s baler range.The new supply agreement will see Tsubaki chain incorporated on the DF 1,8 Vd; DF 1,8 V; 1,8 V eco; DF 1,8 Dd; DF 1,8 D; DF 1,8 D eco; DF 1,7 Zd; DF 1,9 Zd and the Master Unia baler models.

A piece of joint research between the University of Surrey, Augmented Optics, and the University of Bristol, has developed what the project believes to be a potentially transformational technology which could revolutionise the capabilities of appliances that have previously relied on battery power.

Many people picture electrical conductivity as the flow of charged particles (mainly electrons) without really thinking about the atomic structure of the material through which those charges are moving. But scientists who study "strongly correlated electron" materials such as high-temperature superconductors and those with strong responses to magnetism know that picture is far too simplistic. They know that the atoms play a crucial role in determ...

Tsubaki UK are helping to manage winter water levels, particularly in low lying parts of the country. The aim is to control river flows and reduce the instances of flooding which is becoming increasingly important as climate change is leading to warmer, wetter weather.

Josef Stockinger, Sr. Technical Marketing Manager, ADAS, STMicroelectronics, dispels some myths around the current expectations of autonomous driving.

An insulation manufacturer has been able to reduce down-time and save costs thanks to Tsubaki who replaced an under-performing chain on one of its conveyor systems.

Two Cornell experts in AI have joined a nationwide team setting out to ensure that when computers are running the world, they will make decisions compatible with human values."We are in a period in history when we start using these machines to make judgments," said Bart Selman, professor of computer science. "If decisions are properly structured, the horrors we've seen in the movies won't happen."
