About the Technology
Each year we try to showcase the emerging technologies that drive our program. These offer new insights, methods of observation and a direction for development.
2022-2023 Technologies
Solar Powered Aerial Vehicles
Using only sunlight to create lift force, these aerial vehicles can levitate without any moving parts, even at altitudes where the air is too thin for airplanes and balloons.
2022-2023 Technologies
Physics-Informed Neural Networks
Blending physics and AI, these neural networks open the path to learning functional relationships between the excitation and the response of a system, even when those cannot be directly measured.
