Applied Physical Sciences Continues Effort to Develop UUV Undersea Batteries in Blue Wolf Project

Unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) power experts at Applied Physical Sciences (APS) Corp. in Groton, Conn., are moving forward with a project to develop a highly customized high-performance battery system prototype to enable manned and unmanned undersea vehicles to move through the water faster and more energy-efficiently than ever before. Officials of the Naval Undersea Warfare

Using Shark Scales to Design Better Drones, Planes, and Wind Turbines

To build more aerodynamic machines, researchers are drawing inspiration from an unlikely source: the ocean. A team of evolutionary biologists and engineers at Harvard University, in collaboration with colleagues from the University of South Carolina, have shed light on a decades-old mystery about sharkskin and, in the process, demonstrated a new, bioinspired structure that could

Spray-On Form-Fitting Antennas and EM Filters

Scientists at the Raytheon-UMass Lowell Research Institute (RURI) have developed printable inks for producing tunable, electromagnetic filters on a variety of surfaces. The result can be printed directly on military equipment, including tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft, serving as anything from a radio antenna to a radar array to even an “invisibility cloak”. The technology
