A new ultra-thin film can create detailed 3D images viewable under normal illumination without special reading devices. Images appear to float on top of the film, allowing viewing from all angles. The glass-free approach could be used as a…

Working together across a range of tasks, called collective intelligence (CI), varies significantly between teams. The level of collective attention a team develops influences its level of CI. A new study examined the factors that enhanced…

The race to 6G requires the development of suitable magnetic materials. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University detected an unprecedented collective resonance at high frequencies in a magnetic superstructure called a chiral spin…

We find inspiration where we can. In this case, it came from bugs. Drones, rovers, and legged robots perform many tasks, from autonomously monitoring crops in greenhouses to last-kilometer delivery. These applications need robots to operate…

Technology-driven advances like 5G and autonomous vehicles are generating a data deluge that’s beyond current-generation solutions for moving, storing and processing that information. Thankfully, a range of new advances in those same…

The Geological Society of America's Connects 2022 is now open for registration. The event, to be held October 9th-12th in Denver, Colorado, will offer full online participation for those unable to attend in person. GSA will livestream…

In alloy research that is breaking new ground, University of Birmingham scientists described how microscopic crystals grow and change shape in molten metals, paving the way for improving the tensile strength of alloys used in casting and…

'The Great Resignation' will continue, and one in five workers says they will likely switch to a new employer in the next 12 months, according to PwC's Global Workforce Hopes and Fears survey. PwC surveyed 52,195 workers in 44 countries and…

Researchers at the NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Smart Materials Lab published in the journal Nature Communications that organic crystals can serve as efficient and sustainable energy conversion materials for advanced technologies such as robotics…

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…
