New AI-powered waste-sorting robot identifies over 500 waste categories

an uncrewed Starliner capsule flew to – and docked with – the ISS for the first time for the Orbital Flight Test 2 (OFT-2) mission.

It functions extremely well under rainy or windy conditions to light up LED lights and power itself.a researcher studying bioinspired soft robotics at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genoa.

we significantly advance this technology by establishing the additional opportunity to convert kinetic energy from raindrops hitting the upper surface of the artificial leaf into electricity.It was recently demonstrated that plant leaves coupled with artificial leaves of selected materials and tailored mechanics can convert wind-driven leaf fluttering into electricity.we integrated an extra electrification layer and exposed electrodes on the free upper surface of the wind energy harvesting leaf that allow to produce a significant current when droplets land and spread on the device.

She further explained that the main advantage of this energy-harvesting system compared to other similar models is that it can actually create more electricity in wet conditions.Study abstract:Soft (bio)hybrid robotics aims at interfacing living beings with artificial technology.

The results revealed that wind and rain energy harvesting are possible with the device—either separately or simultaneously—making it a multifunctional energy harvester or self-powered sensor.

told the science news outlet that the system could be practical for agricultural applications and remote environmental monitoring in order to observe plant health or monitor climate conditions.nor could we bring one with us for testing.

A good part of our staff swears by Microsofts Natural Ergonomic keyboard.We asked AMD about the status of XGP and the reason it hasnt been supported as widely as we hoped - for now its been limited to a few European markets.

they said they depend on manufacturers to pick up the technology and offer it along with laptops since the box requires a proprietary connection based on PCI Express.ATI/AMDBy far the most organized and productive meeting we had the whole week was with the guys at AMD/ATI.
