| High vaccination rate is key to future course of COVID-19 pandemic, computer modeling shows Posted: 29 Apr 2021 09:33 AM PDT Data scientists who developed highly accurate computer modeling to predict trends for COVID-19 cases nationwide have new research that shows how important a high rate of vaccination is to reducing case numbers and controlling the pandemic. |
| New law of physics helps humans and robots grasp the friction of touch Posted: 29 Apr 2021 09:33 AM PDT Although robotic devices are used in everything from assembly lines to medicine, engineers have a hard time accounting for the friction that occurs when those robots grip objects - particularly in wet environments. Researchers have now discovered a new law of physics that accounts for this type of friction, which should advance a wide range of robotic technologies. |
| Finding the optimal way to repay student debt Posted: 29 Apr 2021 09:33 AM PDT Though legislative reform is necessary to combat the growing burden of student loan debt in the U.S. on a grand scale, individual borrowers can take steps to repay their loans with as low long-term costs as possible. A new mathematical model develops a strategy for minimizing the overall cost of repaying student loans. |
| Small generator captures heat given off by skin to power wearable devices Posted: 29 Apr 2021 08:22 AM PDT Scientists have developed a small, flexible device that can convert heat emitted from human skin to electrical power. In their research the team showed that the device could power an LED light in real time when worn on a wristband. The findings suggest that body temperature could someday power wearable electronics such as fitness trackers. |
| Blueprint for a robust quantum future Posted: 29 Apr 2021 07:49 AM PDT Researchers have established an invaluable resource for those looking to discover new quantum systems. |
