Temperature swings in harsh environments wreak havoc on cameras and their optical performance. Research shows that the lens mounting structure is critical to ensure lens systems remain robust even when temperatures have a wide range.…

Centipedes have no problems negotiating rugged terrain. They do so by wiggling body parts and limbs. When the wiggling stops, so do they. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are using centipede movement to develop a…

InPlay Inc. announced the NanoBeacon SoC IN100 in a wafer-level chip scale package (WLCSP). Measuring a mere 1.1mm x 2.0mm x 0.35mm, the device is the world's smallest Bluetooth System on a Chip (SoC). The NanoBeacon IN100 expands what is…

Researchers at MIT developed a tool that eliminates a source of bias in simulations. Researchers can easily and unknowingly select an algorithm that performs worse on actual data than the simulation predicted that it should. The new…

Now, an AI-based semantic decoder can translate a person's brain activity while listening to a story, or silently imagining telling a story, into a continuous stream of text. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, it…

The World Economic Forum just published its Future of Jobs Report 2023. In a proverbial nutshell, the message is that there will be divergent outcomes for global labor markets in 2023. High-income countries are slowing tight labor markets,…

What happens during our last moments? Phenomena like near-death experiences, white light and tunnels, conversations with higher powers, and seeing friends and family that have already passed are more than fascinating. Given the number of…

In the second intrusion of 2023 and the ninth since 2018, T-Mobile was hacked, affecting 836 subscribers. It took more than a month for the company to discover the breach. The hack exposed: account PINs full names contact info…

University of Pittsburg auditory neuroscientists published a paper in Communications Biology describing how a machine learning model helps explain how the brain recognizes the meaning of communication sounds. The algorithm used models of…

AI apps need denser, more powerful computer chips. However, today’s semiconductor chips are made with boxy 3D structures, making stacking multiple layers of transistors to create dense integrations challenging. By using ultrathin 2D…

What happens to NASA satellites after their useful life is complete? One NASA satellite that saw solar flares and helped scientists understand the sun’s powerful bursts of energy fell to Earth this week, approximately 21 years after launch.…

Moderna and IBM are collaborating on generative artificial intelligence and quantum computing to advance mRNA technology at the core of the company’s Covid vaccine. Moderna will access IBM’s quantum computing systems and generative AI…

We know that quantum computing isn't based on the 1s and 0s of binary encoding. While quantum computers grew out of the binary system, physical systems that encode their quantum bits (qubits) have the potential also to encode quantum digits…

Toyota Motor North America today announced "Empact," a new vision to aid the transition of underserved communities to electrified mobility. Combining "environmental impact," focusing on the company's movements towards carbon neutrality, and…

A new quantum material with magnetic properties may pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy-efficient computers and mobile devices. While these materials tend to work only in cold temperatures, a research team at Chalmers…
