A nano-spacecraft made from a silicon chip could make the journey to Alpha Centauri in just 20 years. The problem is, such a "space-chip" wouldn’t survive the intense radiation and temperature of space, so a NASA and KAIST team is developing a method for helping the chip heal itself on the fly.

Researchers are developing an artificial nervous system for robots, a tool they believe will better equip these machines to avoid damage and preserve their well-being. ​

Google and the IEEE have launched the Little Box Challenge, offering a US$1 million first prize for an innovative electronic design to shrink power inverters down from their current bigger-than-a-bread-box size to something less than the size of a small laptop.

Lots of people make their own robots, and in all sorts of ways, but have you ever heard of anyone baking one in an oven? Researchers at MIT have injected further heat into the evolving 4D printing space by demonstrating how to create self-assembling bodies that fold together when baked.

Engineers at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York have developed a prototype app that provides phones with a form of emotional intelligence.

Stanford researchers have developed a way of powering cardiac devices wirelessly using gigahertz-frequency radio waves.

An MIT team has “extended” the universal jamming robotic technology to create a robotic arm that can twist, flex and grip in a way not dissimilar to an elephant’s trunk.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers has announced the publication of the latest revision to the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard.

Boston Dynamics has released a video of its bipedal humanoid PETMAN robot, performing a variety of activities.

The IEEE has announced the completion of the IEEE 802.22 wireless network standard, which offers up to 62 miles of range from the base station.

The Elfoid P1 is a combination mobile phone and mini telepresence robot, designed to give a physical presence to callers.

Software created at Michigan State University is capable of matching faces in police sketches to those in mug shots.
