Raytheon, WEYTEC Team to Co-develop
the Next-generation Air Traffic Control
Workstation E
Raytheon Company has signed a teaming
agreement with WEY Technology (WEYTEC),
a global leader in advanced data visualization
and operator control solutions, to co-develop
the next-generation air traffic controller work-
station called Multi-Platform ATC Re-Hosting
Solution, or MARS.
Combination of Techniques Could Improve
Security for IoT Devices E
A multi-pronged data analysis approach that
can strengthen the security of IoT devices—such
as smart TVs, home video cameras, and baby
monitors—against current risks and threats has
been created by a team of Penn State World
Campus students pursuing master of profes-
sional studies degrees in information sciences.
Wearable, Washable Textile Devices Are
Possible With MXene-coated Yarns E
Producing functional fabrics that perform all
the functions we want, while retaining the
characteristics of fabric we're accustomed to,
is no easy task. Two groups of researchers at
Drexel University believe they have a solution.
Tunable Optical Chip Paves Way for
New Quantum Devices E
Researchers have created a silicon carbide (SiC)
photonic integrated chip that can be thermally
tuned by applying an electric signal.
Soft Robot Programmed to Move
Like an Inchworm E
Engineering researchers from the University of
Toronto have created a miniature robot that can
crawl with inchworm-like motion. The under-
lying technology could transform industries
from aviation to smart wearables.
WWII Meteorologist Turned Material
Scientist Shares Nobel Prize in
Chemistry 2019 E
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research con-
gratulates John B. Goodenough, professor in
the Cockrell School of Engineering at The Uni-
versity of Texas at Austin, for recently being
awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019.
Goodenough is the eldest recipient of a Nobel
Prize at age 97.
Meet Ari: The Smart Bike That Helps You
Catch Green Lights E
With more bikes than ever taking to the city
streets, researchers have designed an e-bike
that could help riders cruise the "green wave"
while also improving trust between humans
and machines.
Digital Platform Experimentation Project
Uses Quantum-inspired Computing and
Deep Learning Technology E
Fujitsu Limited, the Singapore Management
University (SMU), and the Agency for Sci-
ence, Technology, and Research (A*STAR)'s
Institute of High-Performance Computing an-
nounced the launch of the Digital Platform Ex-
perimentation Project.
Global Market for Counter Unmanned
Aircraft Systems to Exceed $2B by 2024 E
Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis, "Global
Counter UAS Market: Forecast to 2024," re-
veals that heightened demand for commercial
unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) by the mili-
tary for expensive, technologically advanced,
multiple-sensor systems is driving innovative
C-UAS market growth opportunities.
