Initially earmarked for covert military operations, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones have since gained tremendous popularity, which has broadened the scope of their use. In fac...

Credit: University of Southampton Scientists at the University of Southampton and University of Edinburgh have developed a flexible underwater robot that can propel itself through water in the same style as nature's most efficient swimmer - the Aurelia aurita jellyfish. The findings, published in Science Robotics, demonstrate that the new underwater robot can swim as quickly and efficiently as the squid and jellyfish which inspired its design, potentially unlocking new possibilities for underwater exploration with its lightweight design and soft exterior.

In AIP Advances, researchers describe how to exploit DNA origami as a platform to build superconducting nanoarchitectures. The structures they built are addressable with nanometric precision that can be used as a template for 3D architectures that are not possible today via conventional fabrication techniques. Inspired by previous works using the DNA molecule as a template for superconducting nanowires, the group took advantage of a recent bioengineering advance known as DNA origami.

 E-Mail IMAGE: Short circuits in lithium metal batteries usually result from the lithium depositing unevenly on the anode during the charging process, forming protruding sharp needles known as dendrites. These cause the... view more  Credit: Illustration: Yen Strandqvist/Chalmers University of Technology There are high hopes for the next generation of high energy-density lithium metal batteries, but before they can be used in our vehicles, there are crucial problems to solve. An international research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has now developed concrete...

 E-Mail Lucid Technologies, a new UPF spinoff, is to bring to the audiovisual market computer products that will streamline the film postproduction process, automatically improving films' aesthetic appearance. Thus, the company will exploit cutting-edge technologies protected by two international patents developed by the Image Processing for Enhanced Cinematography (IP4EC) research group of the UPF Department of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC). The company's first product is a computer program that will help film professionals to perform an essential task more quickly and e...
