Ben-Gurion University researchers have developed a new satellite imaging system that could revolutionize the economics and imagery available from space-based cameras and even earth-based telescopes. “This is an invention that completely changes the costs of space exploration, astronomy, aerial photography, and more,” says Angika Bulbul, a BGU Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Prof. Joseph…
Camouflaging An Optical Chip To Render It Invisible
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers have achieved a breakthrough in manipulating light to render an object, such as an optical chip, invisible. According to the recent study 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.…
New 3-D Technique Uses Water and Robotics to Reconstruct Complex Objects
An international group of researchers developed a technique that results in more accurate 3-D scanning for reconstructing complex objects than what currently exists. The innovative method combines robotics and water. “Using a robotic arm to immerse an object on an axis at various angles, and measuring the volume displacement of each dip, we combine each…
First Complete Sabotage Attack Demonstrated On A 3-D Printed Drone Propeller
Researchers from three universities combined their expertise to demonstrate the first complete sabotage attack on a 3D additive manufacturing (AM) system, illustrating how a cyber attack and malicious manipulation of blueprints can fatally damage production of a device or machine. In their paper titled “Dr0wned,” researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), the University…
