Moore’s Law, which effectively states that production microchips double in processing power approximately every two years, is also observable in the world of university technology transfer. An increasing number of research institutions are producing a rapidly-growing stream of powerful new IP. With open innovation trends connecting these discoveries on a global network, we can expect...
Of all the tech buzzwords this year, the greatest one is augmented reality (AR). AR has the potential to change the way we view the world on a fundamental level—supplementing our natural perception with supportive information, ranging from the didactic to entertaining.

That direction is additive manufacturing, namely three-dimensional printing. It is a body of technology so tremendously impactful on human capabilities that it evokes the legend of Icarus.
Self-driving cars which were once only murmurs in Silicon Valley less than a decade ago have hit the street. This month Uber’s first self-driving fleet arrived in Pittsburgh, but they will still be supervised by humans in the driver’s seat. Advancements in automated systems and AI are quickly giving way to a new reality: that driverless cars will provide a safer, more efficient method of travel.
