Although electroporation technology is very effective at delivering DNA-based vaccines, the required equipment is bulky, complex and expensive. Now, however, scientists have shown that a converted barbecue lighter is capable of doing the job.

While aerial drones do show promise as a means of urban parcel delivery, their small size will limit them to carrying relatively light packages. An experimental new system, however, lets multiple drones team up to hoist heftier items.

The excavation and disposal of landmines is a time- and labor-intensive business, so it can be quite a waste of resources if the detected object is not actually a mine. A new system could help, by reducing the number of mine-hunting errors.

A tiny new sensor that can be worn in items of clothing could offer a new way to tap into the subtle vibrations produced by a wearer's heart and lungs, and even alert the user when it might be time to head for a checkup.

​We've already heard about gloves and cameras that could be used to translate hand gestures (such as American Sign Language) into text or spoken words. What might be simpler, though, is a system consisting of just a ring and a wristband – which has been created.

Scientists have developed an AI system that can recreate a video game engine after watching just two minutes of gameplay, which could help lighten the load for developers and allow them to experiment with different styles of play.

​Like pretty much any other computer-controlled device, 3D printers can be maliciously hacked. That's why scientists have developed a new system for making sure that the machines are doing what they're supposed to.

The natural wonder-brush that is a cat's tongue has provided scientists with the inspiration to develop a flexible, gripping surface that may find applications in fields ranging from wound cleaning to soft robotics.

​We’re wearing electronic devices, and soon we could be wearing clothing that powers those devices. Now a team at Georgia Tech has developed a fabric that gathers energy from both the sun and movement simultaneously, which could be used to create power-generating clothing or other textile products.

A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology has developed an algorithm that teaches robots how to fall, allowing them to trip up with a little more grace, and cause themselves less damage when they do.

A new light-capturing antenna created by researchers at Georgia Tech is able to convert visible light into usable direct current – an innovation that may help double the efficiency of solar energy harvesting.

The latest creation inspired by the ancient art of paper folding comes in the form of a new "zippered tube" design that forms paper structures with enough stiffness to support weight, but can be folded flat for shipping or storage.
