High-res telescopic images at low cost from a nano-satellite

An article in the December issue of the journal Optica demonstrated that nanosatellites the size of milk cartons arranged in a spherical (annular) configuration were able to capture images that match the resolution of the full-frame, lens-based or concave mirror systems used on today’s telescopes. BGU Ph.D. candidate Angika Bulbul, working under the supervision of Prof. Joseph

Robotic farming takes another step forward

It’s harvest season in the Northern hemisphere, so farmers head into the fields to gather the fruit of their hard labor. But now, robots are along for the ride. A few days ago, a boxy yellow robot rolled through the rows of yellow pepper patches in a Belgian greenhouse, spotting and picking the ripened fruit.

Moving closer to an operational cloaking chip

According to the recent study Invisibility Cloaking Scheme by Evanescent Distortion on Composite Plasmonic Waveguides with Si Nano-Spacer? published in Nature Scientific Reports?, the researchers conceived a new method that deflects and scatters light away from a “cloaking” chip surface so it is not detected. An operational cloaking chip can be an extension of the basic technologies such as radar-absorbing

Laser-induced graphene, when electrified, zaps bacteria

Rice, Ben-Gurion universities show laser-induced graphene kills bacteria, resists biofouling Scientists at Rice University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have discovered that laser-induced graphene (LIG) is a highly effective anti-fouling material and, when electrified, bacteria zapper. LIG is a spongy version of graphene, the single-atom layer of carbon atoms. The Rice lab of chemist

Cellphones Can Steal Data from Computers

Researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) Cyber Security Research Center have discovered that virtually any cellphone infected with a malicious code can use GSM phone frequencies to steal critical information from infected “air-gapped” computers. Air-gapped computers are isolated — separated both logically and physically from public networks — ostensibly so that they
