Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and Iowa State University have demonstrated an automated technology capable of accurately measuring the angle of leaves on corn plants in the field.
One of the first practical applications of the much-hyped but little-used quantum computing technology is now within reach, thanks to a unique approach that sidesteps the major problem of scaling up such prototypes.
People react more positively to new technologies when hearing spoken descriptions of them than when the identical information is written down, a new study finds.
Advances in quantum computing architecture have allowed researchers to demonstrate directional photon emission, the first step toward connecting large-scale devices.
A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a new programming language known as “A Tensor Language” (ATL) designed for high-performance computing that could solve the issue of trade-offs between speed and reliability.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a way to accurately measure and display uncertainty in computer vision algorithms that can be understood by the average person, according to a news release.
In measuring blood oxygen saturation, a deep-learning algorithm for smartphone cameras and flash did well in early studies.
Scientists at the University of Bristol have demonstrated how predators overcome their preys’ erratic behaviour by adapting their own during the hunt.
An international team of researchers finds the social media messages that resonate best with loyalty program members differ from the posts that work best with other customers.
A recent study finds that realism is a key factor in determining whether viewers engage with virtual reality (VR) videos – and that engagement is itself a key factor in determining whether viewers are interested in watching VR videos in the future.
Engineering researchers have developed a new approach for implementing ransomware detection techniques, allowing them to detect a broad range of ransomware far more quickly than previous systems.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Pennsylvania have developed soft robots that are capable of navigating complex environments, such as mazes, without input from humans or computer software.
If there’s an online discussion about race, using the term “white privilege” can create a polarized situation, say University of Michigan researchers.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a solid-state heat engine that they say is more energy-efficient than a steam turbine.
News media covered the National Football League national anthem protests more heavily on their Instagram accounts when readers’ reactions to protest were more negative and more polarized, according to a University of Michigan study.
While air quality has improved dramatically over the past 50 years thanks in part to the Clean Air Act, people of color at every income level in the United States are still exposed to higher-than-average levels of air pollution.
