| Prototype of robotic device to pick, trim button mushrooms Posted: 01 Jun 2021 01:50 PM PDT Researchers have developed a robotic mechanism for mushroom picking and trimming and demonstrated its effectiveness for the automated harvesting of button mushrooms. |
| Innovative surgical simulator is a significant advance in training trauma teams Posted: 01 Jun 2021 01:50 PM PDT Simulators have long been used for training surgeons and surgical teams, but traditional simulator platforms typically have a built-in limitation: they often simulate one or a limited number of conditions that require performance of isolated tasks, such as placing an intravenous catheter, instead of simulating and providing opportunities for feedback on the performance of multiple interventions that a trauma victim may require at the same time. To overcome this limitation, the Advanced Modular Manikin (AMM), an innovative simulation platform that allows integration of other simulation devices, was developed and field testing was conducted, with support from the Department of Defense (DoD). |
| New method to improve durability of nano-electronic components, further semiconductor manufacturing Posted: 01 Jun 2021 01:50 PM PDT Researchers have developed a novel approach to mitigating electromigration in nanoscale electronic interconnects that are ubiquitous in state-of-the-art integrated circuits. This was achieved by coating copper metal interconnects with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), an atomically-thin insulating two-dimensional (2D) material that shares a similar structure as the 'wonder material' graphene. |
| Engineers demonstrate a quantum advantage Posted: 01 Jun 2021 12:56 PM PDT Researchers experimentally show that quantum resources have an advantage over classical -- even in the NISQ era. |
| 'Self-aware' materials build the foundation for living structures Posted: 01 Jun 2021 12:20 PM PDT New research describes a new metamaterial system that acts as its own sensor, recording and relaying important information about the pressure and stresses on its structure. The so-called 'self-aware metamaterial' generates its own power and can be used for a wide array of sensing and monitoring applications. |
| Harmonious electronic structure leads to enhanced quantum materials Posted: 01 Jun 2021 12:19 PM PDT Researchers have discovered a new mechanism in magnetic compounds that couples multiple topological bands. The coupling can significantly enhance the effects of quantum phenomena. |
| How AI could alert firefighters of imminent danger Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:58 AM PDT Researchers have developed an artificial-intelligence-powered tool to predict and warn of a deadly phenomenon in burning buildings known as flashover, when flammable materials in a room ignite almost simultaneously, producing a potentially ferocious blaze. The tool's predictions are based on temperature data from a building's heat detectors, and, remarkably, it is designed to operate even after heat detectors begin to fail, making do with the remaining devices. |
| A new direction of topological research is ready for take off Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:58 AM PDT Through a recently developed experimental platform, topological matter can be realized in a fast, cost efficient, and versatile way. A breakthrough has now been achieved by physicists as they have observed topological phenomena in a circuit system with gain and loss. The theoretical foundation for non-Hermitian topology might enable optronic technologies in the long run. |
| Researchers fine-tune control over AI image generation Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:57 AM PDT Researchers have developed a new state-of-the-art method for controlling how artificial intelligence (AI) systems create images. The work has applications for fields from autonomous robotics to AI training. |
| Turbulence in interstellar gas clouds reveals multi-fractal structures Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:57 AM PDT Astronomers describe the complex structure of the interstellar medium using a new mathematical method. The dispersion of interstellar turbulence in gas clouds before star formation unfolds in a cosmically small space. |
