Sensors, robotics, data tools, and the systems powering modern discovery.
Marine telemetry is the remote measurement and transmission of information from animals, instruments or vehicles in the ocean. Researchers attach tags to wildlife, moor sensors or deploy robotic platforms, then receive data by radio, satellite, acoustic signals or later recovery. The method reveals movement and environmental conditions that cannot be followed continuously by a ship.…

For the 116 people aboard USS Nautilus, the Arctic Ocean offered no reliable way to surface, communicate, or turn around quickly. Thick ice sealed off the sea above them. In August 1958, the nuclear-powered submarine passed beneath that ceiling and reached the geographic North Pole, opening a route that had long resisted undersea travel. The…
Researchers at Florida International University have installed a new set of 3D-printed seawall tiles at Morningside Park in Miami, launching a real-world test of coastal infrastructure that can protect shorelines while giving marine organisms more places to live. The project, called BioCAP, places modular tiles onto an existing seawall along Biscayne Bay. Each tile has…
The City of San José has placed a proposed Google research complex on its list of large energy-use projects, bringing fresh attention to a facility designed around electrical infrastructure with a capacity of 250 megawatts. The city’s official planning record describes nearly 483,000 square feet of research and development space near Disk Drive in North…
