Trains are found extensively throughout the world carrying Passengers and Freight. They are safe, economical and travel long distances in relative comfort for passengers. They are usually made strong and sturdy to withstand long usage and are heavy, weighing hundreds of tonnes. Since they travel on fixed rails,
SkyWay is a new mode of transportation intended to address all of the failures of today's surface transportation. Whether it's trains, or cars or buses; whether it's walking, cycling or running; it is "unsafe at any speed" on our roads and highways. Why? Humans are merely human. Mistakes happen. Streets are congested. People are in a hurry.
Despite rapid advances in drone technology, the instant, autonomous launch of multiple aerial missions remains a critical challenge. Current docking systems typically support only single-drone operations, limiting scalability and mission flexibility.
The Stackable Drone Docking Port addresses this challenge with a transformative solution. Designed as a compact, cylindrical docking station, it can house, charge,
FireSwarm is an integrated aerial wildfire suppression system that combines thermodynamic innovation with swarm-based robotics to control and mitigate wildfires rapidly, safely, and precisely. The system leverages a two-phase deployment strategy using semi-autonomous helicopters to execute firebreak cutting and active flame suppression using thermally disruptive ice projectiles.
BACKGROUND
Rise of quantum computing threatens existing encryption schemes.
NIST has standardized Post‐Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms.
A Quantum‐resistant Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) based on the CRYSTALS‐Kyber algorithm was standardized as new Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS).
Long COVID is estimated to affect more than 17 million Americans. The UK has a BioBank program that collects massive amounts of data on post COVID cognitive dysfunction. Their data suggests that patients with even mild COVID had a greater decline in executive function,
Project: "OptoVEE"
The Design and Engineering of a more efficient configuration for solar panel installations.
Project Overview
The Project proposes to utilize a "V" configuration mounting system to attach solar panels. By implementing reflective panels on both sides of the "V", in conjunction with each solar panel,
Traditional traffic lights provide limited information to drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists — primarily relying on red, yellow, and green indicators. As traffic becomes more complex and multi-modal, there is a growing need for dynamic, high-visibility displays that communicate richer information at intersections that could improve safety, particularly for vulnerable road users like pedestrians and bicyclists.
Traditional stop signs serve a vital function but operate with outdated rigidity. Regardless of traffic or time of day, drivers must stop — even when no other vehicles are present. This leads to wasted time, unnecessary emissions, fuel consumption, and avoidable frustration. Worse, static stop signs can be missed by inattentive drivers, raising the risk of accidents.
