On Robot, OptoForce and Perception Robotics will present its first new products at automatica 2018. The Gecko Gripper, Polyskin Tactile Gripper, RG2-FT gripper and a technical upgrade of the HEX force-torque sensor product line based on OptoForce technology will open up new applications for collaborative robotics and make implementation even easier. OnRobot has positioned itself from the ground up as the provider for collaborative grippers and en...

NASA is keeping a vigil over its Opportunity rover as the tenacious robot has been forced to shut down its systems and enter sleep mode as a massive storm has encompassed her; the storm even bigger than the ones expected to decommission the rover over 14 years ago.

Iron-basedredox flow battery developer, ESS has announceda contract to design and install a combined energy warehouse flow battery storage and solar energy system in Brazil. According to Energy Storage Report, the $1.3m project will be funded in part by a grant from the US Trade and Development Agency through Pacto Geração Distribuída, a subsidiary of the renewable energy plant developer Pacto Energia, with the goal to prove ...

Teledyne e2v is the first semiconductor manufacturer in Europe, and only third in the world, to be awarded the site level MIL-PRF-38535 Class Y certification from the DLA. Also known as QML Class Y, the certification is recognised as the highest guarantee of quality and reliability for ceramic, non-hermetically sealed Flip-Chip microcircuits for aerospace and defense (A&D) applications. In addition to QML Class Y, Teledyne e2v has also been a...

A new IDTechEx Research report predicts that the Redox Flow Battery market will be worth $4.5bn by 2028. Redox flow batteries (RFB) are an energy storage technology initially developed by NASA in the 70’s for space applications. After several years of intensive R&D, in 2006, several key patents on the technology expired, opening up the arena to companies all around the world.

A chance to send your name to the Sun, testing systems for NASA's Orion spacecraft, and sizing up Earth, from space.

There are potentially thousands of planets that lie just outside our solar system — galactic neighbours that could be rocky worlds or more tenuous collections of gas and dust. Where are these closest exoplanets located? And which of them might we be able to probe for clues to their composition and even habitability? The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will be the first to seek out these nearby worlds.

AVXis celebrating the continuing success of NASA’s Curiosity rover (also known as the Mars Science Laboratory), which has spent roughly 2,100 Martian solar days - or sols, which comprise 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds - investigating the planet’s Gale Crater since it landed on 6th August, 2012.

Very recently on the 5th May, NASA’s Mars Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport(InSight) missionwas launched using a United Launch Alliance (ULA)AtlasV 401rocketfrom Vandenberg Air Force Base on a 300-million-mile trip to Mars to study for the first time what lies deep beneath the surface of the Red Planet.

As part of an effort to identify distant planets hospitable to life, NASA has established a crowdsourcing project in which volunteers search telescopic images for evidence of debris disks around stars, which are good indicators of exoplanets.Using the results of that project, researchers at MIT have now trained a machine-learning system to search for debris disks itself.
