The Federal Bureau of Investigation is pulling back the curtain on a 22,000 square-foot replica town on its Huntsville, Alabama campus that it built to train law enforcement in simulating and investigating real-world cyberattacks. The aim is to teach investigators in a secure environment beyond the classroom by getting hands-on with some of the latest…
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have created a new artificial photosynthesis system that can generate solar fuel more consistently while eliminating the need for battery based control equipment. The advance comes from integrating a self regulating chemical component directly into the electrolyzer, reducing both system complexity and cost. Like natural photosynthesis in plants, artificial photosynthesis…

In a nutshell: A new chapter in military robotics is unfolding in China, where researchers have unveiled a drone so small it can perch between two fingers. Developed by the National University of Defense Technology in Hunan province, this mosquito-sized unmanned aerial vehicle is built for covert reconnaissance missions. The microdrone was showcased on state…
