Today’s endoscopes are millimeters wide with limited resolution, and they cannot be used to inspect individual cells. Individual optical fibers, however, are 10x narrower—potentially enabling much higher-resolution imaging and the ability…

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed millimeter-sized robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields to perform highly maneuverable and dexterous manipulations, possibly for…

Optical cloaking hides objects in plain sight by guiding light around anything placed inside a cloak. You read about it in "Harry Potter" books, but now, researchers are realizing cloaks that shield objects from view by controlling the flow…

University of Kent and the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory researchers have discovered a new rare topological superconductor, LaPt3P, which may be of huge importance to the future operations of quantum computers. Superconductors…

A recent, albeit small study found that people who were touched by a humanoid robot when conversing with it reported a better emotional state and were likely to comply with a request from the robot. Laura Hoffmann of Ruhr University Bochum,…

A team of researchers from University of Copenhagen delved into what happened to a specific kind of plasma, the first matter ever to be present, during the first microsecond of Big Bang. Approximately 14 billion years ago, the universe…

AI-based applications are hitting the market rapidly and another one is gaining ground. Research answering the question, “Can we partner with artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to build a more equitable workforce?”…

Engineered, autonomous machines combined with artificial intelligence have long been a staple of science fiction. What if these autonomous soft machines were ... helpful? A team of Penn State and U.S. Air Force researchers published their…

A recent study by the Music Technology research group with the University of Utrecht indications shows that a widely used recommendation algorithm is more likely to choose music by male artists than female artists. Andrés Ferraro and Xavier…

Resonant-tunneling diodes (RTDs) are used in high-frequency oscillators, wave emitters and detectors, logic gates, photodetectors, and optoelectronic circuits. Marcio Daldin Teodoro, a professor in the Physics Department of the Federal…
