Humans perceive reality via touch. Haptics that produce extremely specific vibrations that mimic touch sensations are a way to bring that third sense to life. The challenge is that humans are incredibly particular about something feeling…

Apricorn announced new findings from the Apricorn 2022 Global IT Security Survey. Front and center in these findings? While most organizations have data backup plans in place, the data is still at risk. Four hundred veteran IT security…

Did you watch those superhero cartoons as a kid? The ones where the supervillain had a crazy plan to destroy the world every week and at least half of them used a giant mirror to reflect a powerful ray gun? (Doctor Horrible anyone...) Well,…

Scientists at the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering at UNSW Sydney and ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science have successfully tested a device capable of converting infrared heat into electrical power. The…

Our brains are more energy efficient than our computers, and scientists are one step closer to mimicking how our brains work. By combining storage and processing in a single component, a memristor, scientists hope to reduce the current…

Interos released 'Resilience 2022,' the second edition of the company's Annual Global Supply Chain Report, a survey of more than 1,500 global supply chain leaders on the impact of continued supply chain upheavals across multiple industries.…

DNA can mutate. Researchers at the University of Surrey say this could be due to strange rules of quantum mechanics. Typically, DNA bases follow strict bonding rules based on shape. If the bonds change slightly, wrong bases can link—and…

Researchers created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that perform simple logic functions, proving it's possible to develop stable digital circuits that take advantage of an electron's properties at quantum scales. Molecular…

Battery recharging is problematic. With each subsequent charge, batteries decay. An international, multi-agency/university study published in Science looks at what drives a battery's lifespan and how those factors change over time in…

An Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) launched by NASA on 9 December 2021 is a space-based observatory. Developed with the Italian Space Agency (ASI), it has three identical telescopes, each with an imaging X-ray detector sensitive…
