Researchers in the US have developed DropPop, an innovative drop-to-deploy mechanism that can transform from a compact form into a fully deployed structure in seconds. The technology is built from ...

Exterior styles in U.S. autos are as changeable as women’s hats. For ’63. they are simpler and handsomer than ever (see U.S. BUSINESS). But mechanically, U.S. cars are conservative; under their hoods ...

Ok, we’ll admit it. If you asked us what the first transistorized computer was, we would have guessed it was the TC from the University of Manchester. After all, Dr. Wilkes and company were at the ...

The proposed bistable gripper can maintain its grasp even without continuous energy input, while also being able to modulate its activation force, representing a new paradigm in robotic gripper design ...

Our new tech editor for Analog looks at the evolution of “analog” and how it inadvertently spun off a pop music genre. Operational Amplifiers are exactly that—amplifiers that can perform mathematical ...

Electronics men are especially fond of transistors, those wondrous specks of germanium that perform like vacuum tubes while demanding almost no current and generating almost no heat (TIME, Dec. 1).

Shockley received a phone call from a reporter at 7:15 in the morning announcing the news -- at first he thought it was a Halloween prank. When he realized it was true, he and his employees at ...

This research described a new perceptual phenomenon of bistability induced by partial occlusion of digital numerals. Results of experiments using visual adaptation indicate that this perceptual ...
