Guess Which $61 Billion Defense-Tech Giant Wants to Set Up Shop...
As defense technology becomes increasingly software-driven, military organizations are looking beyond traditional defense contractors and toward companies specializing in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, sensors,...
This Chip Reveals Hidden Information When You Breathe on It
Security labels, optical data storage systems, and environmental sensors often face the same limitation: once information is encoded, it remains static. Creating materials that...
This Robot Has No Front, No Back — and That’s the...
Most robots are designed around familiar biological forms. Engineers often model machines after humans, dogs, insects, or other animals, relying on centralized software and...
This Shape-Shifting Origami Tech Could Transform Robotics and Shelters
Foldable structures are widely used in engineering because they can transform from compact flat sheets into larger three-dimensional forms. But most existing designs face...
This Helmet Doesn’t Just Protect Soldiers — It Connects Them
Modern soldiers increasingly operate with multiple connected devices at once, such as radios, sensors, cameras, navigation systems, hearing protection, and digital battlefield applications. While...
This Drone Interceptor Can Change Targets After It’s Already Launched
Modern air defense systems are increasingly facing a difficult economic problem. One-way attack drones and loitering munitions can be produced cheaply and launched in...
Drones Could Soon Navigate Collapsed Buildings Without Slowing Down
Flying autonomous drones through unpredictable environments remains one of the biggest technical challenges in robotics. In confined spaces such as collapsed buildings, industrial sites,...
This Radar Watches the Entire Sky at Once to Catch Drone...
As small drones become faster, cheaper, and more numerous, traditional radar systems are facing a growing challenge. Most electronically scanned array (ESA) radars detect...
INNOFENSE Innovation Center by iHLS – Startups Gathered for Another Insightful...
Last week in Tel Aviv, a workshop was held as part of the INNOFENSE program, the innovation center operated by iHLS in collaboration with...
Instead of Shooting Drones Down, This Laser Blinds Them
Small unmanned aerial systems have become an increasingly common challenge for naval forces. Surveillance drones can track ship movements, collect targeting information, and operate...
Nature’s Tiny Vibration Detector Is Inspiring Smarter Sensors
Detecting extremely weak vibrations usually requires complex electronics, amplification circuits, and continuous signal processing. Whether in microphones, environmental monitoring systems, or biomedical devices, improving...
Tiny Robots, Big Coordination: Learning From Ants
Coordinating large numbers of robots to perform complex tasks remains a major challenge. Traditional systems often rely on centralized control, detailed planning, and constant...
A Smarter Camera That Tracks Movement, Not Frames
Modern sensing systems face a growing challenge: too much data. Traditional cameras capture and process full image frames continuously, even when little is changing...
How a Small Interceptor Became a Key Layer in Modern Air...
Short-range aerial threats have become one of the most persistent challenges in modern conflict. Rockets, mortars, and small drones are relatively inexpensive, easy to...
Turning Light Into Motion: A New Approach
Designing materials that can actively change shape or function on demand remains a major challenge. Most artificial actuators rely on motors, wiring, or external...
A Paint That Shows Exactly Where and How Hard You Were...
Measuring impact usually requires sensors, wiring, and data systems that add complexity, weight, and cost. In many cases, such as monitoring structural stress, tracking...
Forget Tilting: A New Way for Drones to Fly
Traditional drones rely on a simple principle: to move forward, they must tilt. This dependence on body orientation limits maneuverability, slows response time, and...
The Shape-Shifting Robot That Repairs Itself Mid-Task
Soft robots are often designed for a single task. Once their structure and internal wiring are set, their range of motion is fixed, limiting...
The Earbuds That Answer Questions About Your Surroundings
Accessing visual information through AI typically requires smartphones, cameras, or wearable devices like smart glasses. However, these solutions often come with trade-offs: high power...
A Battlefield Chatbot That Answers in Real Time
Modern military operations generate vast amounts of data, but turning that information into actionable insight at the right moment remains a challenge. Lessons learned...
A New Crystal Could Make GPS Jamming Irrelevant
Navigation systems today depend heavily on satellite signals, but those signals are not always reliable. GPS can be jammed or spoofed, and in certain...
