 E-Mail COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The U.S. Army plans to cooperate in artificial intelligence research with teams led by the University of Maryland, College Park and in partnership with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The cooperative agreement brings together a collaborative of nearly 30 diverse experts in engineering, robotics, computer science, operations research, modeling and simulation, and cybersecurity. With the Armys goal of seeking transformational advances in artificial inte...

Developing new ultrathin metal electrodes has allowed researchers to create semitransparent perovskite solar cells that are highly efficient and can be coupled with traditional silicon cells to greatly boost the performance of both devices, said an international team of scientists. The research represents a step toward developing completely transparent solar cells.

Why the U.S. Army Loves Lasers (And No, Not To Shoot At People) Lasers could transmit sensitive data across multiple nodes at the speed of light, exponentially faster and potentially more secure than radio frequency communications.  Lasers can already incinerate drones, destroy enemy aircraft and possibly even melt incoming anti-ship missiles, but the Army Research Office is fast progressing with new research enabling lasers to transmit data at the speed of light. While early on, it is potent...
