Engineers Repurpose 19th-Century Photography Technique To Make Stretchy, Color-Changing Films

The technique opens a door to manufacturing of pressure-monitoring bandages, shade-shifting fabrics, or touch-sensing robots.

MIT Engineers Develop Stickers That Can See Inside The Body

New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs.

New Hardware Offers Faster Computation For Artificial Intelligence, With Much Less Energy

Engineers working on “analog deep learning” have found a way to propel protons through solids at unprecedented speeds.

Researchers 3D Print Sensors For Satellites

Cheap and quick to produce, these digitally manufactured plasma sensors could help scientists predict the weather or study climate change.

The Best Semiconductor Of Them All?

Researchers have found a material that can perform much better than silicon. The next step is finding practical and economic ways to make it.

Comparing Veterinarians’ Attitudes to and the Potential Influence of Pet Health Insurance in Austria, Denmark and the UK

Health insurance offers many benefits to clients and veterinarians, such as the ability to perform necessary and possibly cost-intensive medical interventions without financial constraints, or to potentially prevent euthanasia based on financial challenges.

How Different Cancer Cells Respond To Drug-Delivering Nanoparticles

The findings of a large-scale screen could help researchers design nanoparticles that target specific types of cancer.

Insect-Repelling Behaviour in Horses in Relation to Insect Prevalence and Access to Shelters

Pasture access is key to horse welfare, but during summer biting insects can cause discomfort and lead to health issues related to transmission of diseases and allergies.

A Technique To Improve Both Fairness And Accuracy In Artificial Intelligence

Methods that make a machine-learning model’s predictions more accurate overall can reduce accuracy for underrepresented subgroups. A new approach can help.

Teaching AI To Ask Clinical Questions

Researchers have made strides toward machine-learning models that can help doctors more efficiently find information in a patient’s health record.

Microparticles Could Be Used To Deliver “Self-Boosting” Vaccines

With particles that release their payloads at different times, one injection could provide multiple vaccine doses.

How Did Visitors Experience The Domestic Space In Pompeii?

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have used virtual reality and 3D eye-tracking technology to examine what drew the attention of the visitors when entering the stunning environment of an ancient Roman house.

Researchers Map The Movement Of White Dwarfs Of The Milky Way

White dwarfs were once normal stars similar to the Sun but then collapsed after exhausting all their fuel. These interstellar remnants have historically been difficult to study

Black Swifts Descended Rapidly During Lunar Eclipse

An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has managed to study the flight behaviour of the mysterious black swift.

Researchers Reconstruct Ancient Fish Lizard

Geologists at Lund University in Sweden have mapped 300 years of research on the prehistoric marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs. Using a uniquely well-preserved fossil, the team has also created the scientifically most up-to-date reconstruction of an ichthyosaur currently available.

Artificial Intelligence Model Finds Potential Drug Molecules A Thousand Times Faster

A geometric deep-learning model is faster and more accurate than state-of-the-art computational models, reducing the chances and costs of drug trial failures.

MIT Engineers Design Surfaces That Make Water Boil More Efficiently

Systems used in many industries could save energy through these new surface treatments.
