US Berkeley Lab Finds Ultra-Thin Material for Low-Power Chips

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk August 8, 2026 2:46 pm

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has discovered that ultra-thin titanium dioxide becomes a ferroelectric material at less than 3 nanometers thick. The finding could help future memory and logic chips operate with lower power while reducing heat. Researchers believe the discovery may support more energy-efficient electronics for AI systems and next-generation computing.

Foundation’s Robotic Hand V2 Catches Baseball Without Relying on Vision

NASA Funds Laser-Powered Drone to Explore Hidden Moon Caves

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk August 7, 2026 4:52 pm

NASA has awarded Stone Aerospace $175,000 to study a laser-powered drone that could explore hidden caves beneath the Moon. The LUX drone would receive power through a fiber-optic cable from a surface rover, helping scientists investigate underground areas that may support future Moon and Mars missions.

China’s Nuclear Plan to Save Earth From Killer Asteroids

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk August 5, 2026 5:56 pm

China has proposed a new asteroid defense method that uses two spacecraft and a buried nuclear explosion to stop dangerous space rocks. China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology says computer simulations show the approach could destroy a 100-meter asteroid more effectively than a surface blast. The idea could improve future planetary defense but has not yet been tested in space.
