Waiting for each part of a 3D-printed project to finish, taking it out of the printer, and then installing it on location can be tedious for multi-part projects. What if there was a way for your printer to print its creation exactly where you needed it? That’s the promise of MobiPrint,

Silicon carbide semiconductors, such as the ones in these integrated circuits developed by NASA, should better protect future spacecraft from failed transistors. Yesterday, NASA successfully launched the Europa Clipper, the largest spacecraft the agency has ever built for a planetary mission. Clipper is now successfully on its multi-year journey to Europa, bristling with equipment to study the Jovian moon’s potential to support life—but

OM Kumar et al./IEEE Electron Device Letters This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. In space, high-energy gamma radiation can change the properties of semiconductors, altering how they work or rendering them completely unusable. Finding devices that can withstand radiation is

Tracking objects that look a lot like their surroundings is a big problem for many autonomous vision systems. AI algorithms can solve this camouflage problem, but they take time and computing power. A new camera designed by researchers in South Korea provides a faster solution. The camera takes inspiration
