Patent protection is important for robotics startups, but they should be strategic in determining what IP is important, says Lightbringer.

An octopus can bend one part of an arm around an obstacle while another reaches into a small crevice to grab an object. Reproducing that local control in a soft robot requires multiple actuators—compo...

When Runway does release Praxis-1 publicly, it plans to ship it with open weights rather than as a closed model.

Twenty-six Energy Prism units will store onsite solar generation for an undisclosed Chinese oil and gas producer.

A Spanish-developed iron-lead flow battery uses a single electrolyte loop and a fluorine-free membrane to cut costs and reliance on critical raw materials, with kilowatt-scale modules the next develop...

Chinese researchers have developed a healing treatment to improve perovskite film quality on industrial textured silicon for perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. The approach enabled a certified tan...

Four and a half billion years ago, Earth and Mars were born in the rotating cloud of gas and dust that would eventually become our solar system. Yet exactly how the planets formed remains one of the m...

In the early history of our solar system, scientists theorize that a Mars-sized object called Theia smashed into the infant Earth, vaporizing massive amounts of rock and blasting it into space. Some o...

The formation and evolution of planets is the driving force behind both where and how we might find life beyond Earth. This complex and lengthy process first begins with a massive ball of gas and dust...

As freshwater scarcity becomes more prevalent, solar evaporation is drawing attention as a promising solution. This process uses sunlight to heat the surface of salty or contaminated water, turning it...

A new textile used to cover strawberry plants more than tripled fruit yields in tunnel field tests without harming plant health. The technology could also significantly reduce water and pesticide use ...

What if the blue pigment in your ink or dye could help power the future of clean energy? A recent study suggests it could. A research team led by professor Hiroshi Yabu at Tohoku University's Advanced...

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a construction permit for the Tennessee Valley Authority's planned GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX‑300 small modular reactor at the Clinch River site. &nbs...

Dr Sean Leng and the Johns Hopkins-SunInflam team land a $1 million XPRIZE Healthspan Milestone 2 award for aging research.

One-year results for the open-chest version look promising, the company says, and a catheter-based method is now enrolling patients.

LW-1017, an oral drug that switches the brain’s cleanup system back on, reduced Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s pathology in aged mouse models.

Suppression of cancer is a necessary component of species longevity, and finding out how exactly cancer incidence is in some cases dramatically reduced is one of the primary goals for the field of com...

Researchers have discovered that BNIP3, which regulates mitochondrial maintenance, is increased with aging, harming the heart's ability to process energy.

A deep learning-based biomarker, SASP Score, evaluates the combined effects of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype circulating in the bloodstream.
