Dual-use technology

Open-source platforms have become essential tools for software developers, but they are also increasingly being used as delivery channels for sophisticated cyberattacks. Security researchers...

Digital security systems are under constant pressure. As encryption becomes more sophisticated, so do the methods used to bypass it. Software-based protection, no matter...

Opportunity for Startups: Pre-Seed & Seed Investment Round for Defense & Dual-Use Tech. In partnership with a premier network of venture capital funds, a new...

Industrial environments such as chemical facilities, refineries, and large storage sites often involve hazardous conditions that put human workers at risk. Tasks like welding,...

Modern military and civilian systems face a growing power and connectivity problem. Sensors, communications, and autonomous platforms all demand more energy, yet batteries add...

Organizations are rapidly adopting AI to automate workflows, but visibility into how these systems operate is not keeping pace. While much of the discussion...

Designing materials that can actively change shape or function on demand remains a major challenge. Most artificial actuators rely on motors, wiring, or external...

Measuring impact usually requires sensors, wiring, and data systems that add complexity, weight, and cost. In many cases, such as monitoring structural stress, tracking...

Tracking personnel in large, dynamic environments has long relied on manual updates, spreadsheets, and fragmented reporting systems. In fast-moving operations, these methods can lag...

As AI systems become more capable at writing and analyzing code, cybersecurity teams are facing a new reality: the same tools that can help...

Wireless networks are under growing pressure as more devices compete for bandwidth indoors. Offices, homes, and public spaces are increasingly crowded with Wi-Fi and...

Robots are increasingly expected to operate in confined and complex environments, from industrial machinery to medical procedures inside the human body. Traditional robotic arms,...

Traditional drones rely on a simple principle: to move forward, they must tilt. This dependence on body orientation limits maneuverability, slows response time, and...

Cybersecurity teams have long worried that artificial intelligence could eventually accelerate the development of sophisticated cyberattacks. While AI tools are already used for phishing,...

As demand for clean and continuous energy grows, space-based solar power has emerged as a long-term solution. By collecting sunlight in orbit, where it...

The push toward more sustainable drone designs has introduced a less obvious technical challenge: materials matter. While bamboo offers clear advantages as a lightweight,...

Electric motors power everything from household appliances to industrial systems. Most rely on magnetic fields generated by electric current to create rotation. While electrostatic...

Modern military systems rely heavily on satellite navigation and timing, but these signals are increasingly vulnerable. In contested environments, electronic warfare can disrupt or...

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 rapid growth of aerial threats, from long-range aircraft to small, low-flying drones, has exposed limitations in traditional radar systems. Detecting objects at extended...

As artificial intelligence systems become more capable, ensuring they behave as intended is becoming a central challenge. Traditional approaches focus on strict alignment, meaning...

The modern battlefield is becoming increasingly crowded and complex. Drones, sensors, cameras, radars, and weapons systems all operate simultaneously, generating enormous volumes of data....
