  • Smallest walking robot makes microscale...
    on December 2, 2024 at 5:20 pm

    Researchers have created the smallest walking robot yet. Its mission: to be tiny enough to interact with waves of visible light and still move independently, so that it can maneuver to specific locations -- in a tissue sample, for instance -- to take images and measure forces at the scale of some […]

  • Inside the 'swat team' -- how insects react to...
    on November 26, 2024 at 6:58 pm

    Humans get a real buzz from the virtual world of gaming and augmented reality but now scientists have trialled the use of these new-age technologies on small animals, to test the reactions of tiny hoverflies and even crabs. In a bid to comprehend the aerodynamic powers of flying insects and other […]

  • Researchers highlight Nobel-winning AI...
    on November 26, 2024 at 6:48 pm

    A new article examines the convergence of physics, chemistry, and AI, highlighted by recent Nobel Prizes. It traces the historical development of neural networks, emphasizing the role of interdisciplinary research in advancing AI. The authors advocate for nurturing AI-enabled polymaths to bridge […]

  • The future of edge AI: Dye-sensitized solar...
    on November 25, 2024 at 5:51 pm

    Physical reservoir computing (PRC) utilizing synaptic devices shows significant promise for edge AI. Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science have introduced a novel self-powered dye-sensitized solar cell-based device that mimics human synaptic behavior for efficient edge AI processing, […]

  • The next evolution of AI begins with ours
    on November 25, 2024 at 5:50 pm

    The genome has space for only a small fraction of the information needed to control complex behaviors. So then how, for example, does a newborn sea turtle instinctually know to follow the moonlight? Neuroscientists have devised a potential explanation for this age-old paradox. Their ideas should […]

  • Hear this! Transforming health care with...
    on November 21, 2024 at 9:54 pm

    Researchers study the importance of enunciation when using speech-to-text software in medical situations.

  • Synchronized movement between robots and humans...
    on November 20, 2024 at 5:24 pm

    Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonized, researchers have discovered.

  • Vultures and artificial intelligence(s) as death...
    on November 19, 2024 at 6:28 pm

    In order to use remote locations to record and assess the behavior of wildlife and environmental conditions, the GAIA Initiative developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that reliably and automatically classifies behaviors of white-backed vultures using animal tag data. As scavengers, […]

  • Effortless robot movements
    on November 18, 2024 at 5:58 pm

    Humans and animals move with remarkable economy without consciously thinking about it by utilizing the natural oscillation patterns of their bodies. A new tool can now utilize this knowledge for the first time to make robots move more efficiently.

  • Invisible touch: AI can feel and measure surfaces
    on November 17, 2024 at 12:56 am

    Quantum-science advances using AI can measure very small surfaces and distances -- opening a world of medical, manufacturing and other applications.
