"With a clever system design, you can potentially make a self-sustaining loop," says Jun Lou, lead author of the study. "Even when there's no sunlight, you can use stored energy in the form of chemical fuel. You can put the hydrogen and oxyge

CV-1984 is accelerating the spread of Orwellian surveillance devices like talking drones, facial recognition cameras, and more;

Developed at Caltech, the technology is called compressed ultrafast spectral photography (CUSP). As you might expect from the incredible frame rate, it doesn't function like any ordinary camera. It uses extremely short pulses of laser light, each o

When we think of soft-bodied robots, we tend to picture things that slowly crawl like caterpillars. A new one is able to move much quicker, though, by leaping like a cheetah.

Although we have seen "morphing" structural materials before, they typically incorporate solenoids, pumps or motors that add weight and complexity. Now, however, scientists have developed a carbon fiber composite that shifts shape with a simple shot

Researchers from Rice University have built a simple new solar-powered device that can create hydrogen for fuel by splitting water. The system is very similar to other "artificial leaf" designs, but the team says it's self-sufficient and relati
