RICE made underwater robot swim with water-splitting fuel cells

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space travel, wearables

Traditional AUVs rely on thrusters or pumps to adjust depth, which consumes considerable energy and generates noise. Team BayMax’s design replaces this system with a BCD that employs reversible hydrogen fuel cells. By splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gases, the BCD can precisely control the ROV’s buoyancy, mimicking the swim bladders found in fish.

This approach offers many advantages. “The cool thing about this for us is that it’s cutting-edge technology,” remarked Bare. We’re the first to implement it in a device with such comprehensive controls, making it truly groundbreaking.”

Scientists use salt, water to prove brain-like computer can exist

Posted by in categories: biological, robotics/AI

Iontronic neuromorphic computing has only recently broken ground but is developing at a rapid pace. A computer better than the ones living organisms already have (brain) just doesn’t exist.

This idea does spin the mind into theoretical territory around the future of AI and even consciousness.

That aside, the study published around the artificial synapse marks a significant step forward for the future of computers.

Study identifies driver of liver cancer that could be target for treatment

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, futurism

In a new study, a Yale Pathology team has identified a possible therapeutic target for treating obesity-induced liver cancer.

Researchers say inhibiting a molecule called fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) could block tumor progression in many cases:


Inhibiting a certain protein in mice reduced obesity-induced liver tumor development, Yale researchers found. It could reveal a future treatment route.
