Most robots are designed around familiar biological forms. Engineers often model machines after humans, dogs, insects, or other animals, relying on centralized software and coordinated control systems to manage movement. But these designs can struggle in unpredictable terrain where balance, orientation, or mechanical failures quickly disrupt performance. Researchers have now dem...

As organizations increasingly deploy AI agents, cloud workloads, and automated services, traditional identity systems are struggling to keep up. Most enterprises still manage credentials, permissions, machine identities, and user access through separate platforms. This fragmentation often leaves organizations with excessive standing privileges—accounts and permissions that remai...

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 a tradeoff: structures that are smooth and curved tend to remain soft and unstable, while rigid load-bearing systems usually rely on angular, faceted geometries that limit adaptability and comfort. Researchers ...

Modern artillery systems are under growing pressure to operate faster, strike farther, and survive in increasingly transparent battlefields. Counter-battery radars, drones, and long-range surveillance systems can quickly detect firing positions, leaving artillery crews vulnerable after launching rounds. Traditional self-propelled guns often require larger crews and more time to ...

Modern soldiers increasingly operate with multiple connected devices at once, such as radios, sensors, cameras, navigation systems, hearing protection, and digital battlefield applications. While these tools improve situational awareness, they also add cables, batteries, and external hardware that can increase weight and complexity during operations. A new combat helmet concept ...
