DARPA Selects Northrop Grumman to Develop Next-Generation Navigation-Grade Inertial Sensor

Northrop Grumman Corporation has been selected by the Microsystems Technology Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a next-generation navigation-grade inertial measurement unit (IMU) based on advanced microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The IMU is expected to enable navigation by sensing acceleration and angular motion, providing data outputs used by vehicle control systems for guidance.

Super-Sensitive Artificial Nose Helps Protect Artwork by Detecting Pollutants

Original drawings and sketches from Walt Disney Animation Studio’s more than 90-year history — from Steamboat Willie through Frozen — traveled internationally for the first time this summer. This gave conservators the rare opportunity to monitor the artwork with a new state-of-the-art sensor. A team of researchers report today that they developed and used a super-sensitive artificial “nose,” customized specifically to detect pollutants before they could irreversibly damage the artwork.

Differential Immuno-Capture Technology-Based Biosensor to Detect Sub-Populations of White Blood Cells

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a highly sensitive biosensor based on a differential immuno-capture technology that can detect sub-populations of white blood cells. As part of a small, disposable biochip, the microfluidic biosensor can count CD4+/CD8+ T cells quickly and accurately for AIDS diagnosis in the field. This is a follow-up of the work earlier published by the group in Science Translational Medicine.

User-Friendly Framework for Conducting Data Analytics Across Multiple IoT Devices

The Internet of Things promises to improve our lives by connecting sensors in the objects that surround us - buildings, appliances, gadgets, and vehicles - and the data that they collect. But to realize that potential, programmers need tools that make it easier to create applications that combine devices and the cloud. With the support of the National Science Foundation (NSF), researcher Stacy Patterson is building those tools and developing a framework that developers can use to easily perform data analytics over a multitude of devices.
