Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a lightweight material that they say is stronger than steel.
New research from MIT has shown that the health benefits of wind power could be significantly increased if operators prioritized reducing output from the most polluting fossil-fuel-based power plants when energy from wind is available.
A way to expand training data sets for manipulation tasks improves the performance of robots by 40% or more
In the past decade, optical sensing tasks have become more demanding. As a result, it has become critical to build miniaturized, inexpensive sensors that can be integrated on-chip to enable mobile applications in smart phones, autonomous vehicles, robots, and drones.
New computer model accurately predicts behavior of millions of microbial communities from hundreds of experiments, an advance toward precision medicine
Virtual assortment of user devices provides a realistic training environment for distributed machine learning, protects privacy by learning where data lives
Marginalized social media users face disproportionate content removal from platforms, but the visibility of this online moderation is a double-edged sword.
The WSU research team, including postdoctoral researcher Yu-Chung Chang, used PLA plastic waste to create a high-quality resin for 3D printing.
Birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke, according to a recent study led by Lund University in Sweden
A wireless, bioelectronic pacifier could eliminate the need for invasive, twice-daily blood draws to monitor babies’ electrolytes in Newborn Intensive Care Units or NICUs.
The images compare experimental (left) and simulated (right) reaction intermediate in the formation of a benzene-like compound with single bonds.
Open-source software enables researchers to see materials in 3D while they're still on the electron microscope
A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has shown how solar power can convert carbon dioxide into fuel, by using advanced materials and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy.
In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer.
For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself.
Nearly 20 years after publishing his paper “The element of surprise in timed games,” UC Santa Cruz Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Luca de Alfaro received a surprise himself: he won the 2022 CONCUR test of time award.
Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have identified specific elements of tone and style in online speech that are linked to hyperpartisan echo chambers. The findings are now published in the journal Discourse & Society.
An international team led by researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) has engineered a system for creating remote controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module that is powered by a rechargeable battery attached to a solar cell.
What’s the best way to get 3D characters in videogames to look real and expressive? Two computer scientists at Université de Montréal have come up with answer: use simple bitmap sketches to make their poses more lifelike.
North Carolina State University researchers released findings from an analysis of 284 different studies on the challenges and best practices for teaching K-12 classes online –
