This “robot bird” flies at 45 mph through forests—With no GPS or light

Unlike birds, which navigate unknown environments with remarkable speed and agility, drones typically rely on external guidance or pre-mapped routes. However, a groundbreaking development by Professor Fu Zhang and researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), has enabled drones and micro air vehicles (MAVs) […]

Scientists built a transistor that could leave silicon in the dust

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They’ve created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium oxide with a novel “gate-all-around” structure. By precisely engineering the material’s atomic structure, the new device achieves remarkable electron mobility and stability. This breakthrough could fuel faster,

Collaboration can unlock Australia’s energy transition without sacrificing natural capital

New research demonstrates that with collaboration between stakeholders, Australia can fully decarbonize its domestic and energy export economies by 2060 — a feat requiring $6.2 trillion USD and around 110,000 square kilomters of land — while avoiding harm to important areas for biodiversity outcomes, safeguarding agricultural activities, and respecting Indigenous land rights.
