New vision sensor from a swiss company seems to go beyond Elementary Motion Detectors (those inspired by insect vision)

New sensor to detect distances efficiently is based on the mixture chemistry, optics and physical principles.

Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization framework developed by NASA since 2010

RoboEarth Cloud Engine now complements the RoboEarth knowledge database with computational capabilities and allows web services dedicated to robots

The next advance in weather forecasting may not come from a new satellite or supercomputer, but from a device in your pocket. University of Washington atmospheric scientists are using pressure sensors included in the newest smartphones to develop better weather forecasting techniques.

Icing organs... Why scientists are so near and yet so far from being able to cryopreserve organs

The human brain both stores and processes information at the same time. Now computer scientists say they can do the same thing The human brain is an extraordinary computing machine. Nobody understands exactly how it works its magic but part of the trick is the ability to store and process information at the same time.

With self-assembly guiding the steps and synchronization providing the rhythm, a new class of materials forms dynamic, moving structures in an intricate dance. Researchers have demonstrated tiny spheres that synchronize their movements as they self-assemble into a spinning microtube.

created by a Dutch artist :)

It seems like he just recreates in the room the right combination of temperature and humidity and than with a fog machine he generates the cloud ... I thought he could be a nice candidate for the artist in residence :)
