Posted: 13 Jul 2022 12:28 PM PDT New COMAP radio survey will peer beneath the 'tip of the iceberg' of galaxies to unveil a hidden era of star formation. |
Researchers develop computer model to predict whether a pesticide will harm bees Posted: 13 Jul 2022 12:28 PM PDT Researchers have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to help protect bees from pesticides. |
Microparticles could be used to deliver 'self-boosting' vaccines Posted: 13 Jul 2022 11:39 AM PDT Engineers have developed microparticles made of a biocompatible polymer that can deliver a payload at different time points and could be used to create 'self-boosting' vaccines. |
A robot learns to imagine itself Posted: 13 Jul 2022 11:39 AM PDT Researchers have created a robot that is able to learn a model of its entire body from scratch, without any human assistance. In a new study, the researchers demonstrate how their robot created a kinematic model of itself, and then used its self-model to plan motion, reach goals, and avoid obstacles in a variety of situations. It even automatically recognized and then compensated for damage to its body. |
Underwater glove puts octopus' abilities on the hand of humans Posted: 13 Jul 2022 11:39 AM PDT A team of researchers has developed an octopus-inspired glove capable of securely gripping objects underwater. This is significant because humans aren't naturally equipped to thrive underwater. There are critical times when this becomes a liability. Rescue divers, underwater archeologists, bridge engineers, and salvage crews all use their hands to extract people and objects from water, and some of those removals suffer damage if subjected to an iron grip. |
Atomically-smooth gold crystals help to compress light for nanophotonic applications Posted: 13 Jul 2022 11:39 AM PDT Highly compressed mid-infrared optical waves in a thin dielectric crystal on monocrystalline gold substrate investigated for the first time using a high-resolution scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope. |
Turning white blood cells into medicinal microrobots with light Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:46 AM PDT Medicinal microrobots could help physicians better treat and prevent diseases. But most of these devices are made with synthetic materials that trigger immune responses in vivo. Now, for the first time, researchers have used lasers to precisely control neutrophils -- a type of white blood cell -- as a natural, biocompatible microrobot in living fish. The 'neutrobots' performed multiple tasks, showing they could someday deliver drugs to precise locations in the body. |
Longer lasting sodium-ion batteries on the horizon Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:46 AM PDT A new longer-lasting sodium-ion battery design is much more durable and reliable in lab tests. After 300 charging cycles, it retained 90 percent of its charging capacity. |
Incidental pulmonary embolism on chest CT: AI vs. clinical reports Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:46 AM PDT An AI tool for detection of incidental pulmonary embolus (iPE) on conventional contrast-enhanced chest CT examinations had high NPV and moderate PPV, even finding some iPEs missed by radiologists. |
Scientists propose solution to a long-puzzling fusion problem Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:46 AM PDT Researchers demonstrate explanation of paradox that could apply to all spherical tokamaks, cost-effective candidates to model a fusion pilot plant. |
Astronomers detect a radio 'heartbeat' billions of light-years from Earth Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:46 AM PDT Astronomers detected a persistent radio signal from a far-off galaxy that appears to flash with surprising regularity. Named FRB 20191221A, this fast radio burst, or FRB, is currently the longest-lasting FRB, with the clearest periodic pattern, detected to date. |
Researchers find the missing photonic link to enable an all-silicon quantum internet Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:45 AM PDT Researchers have made a crucial breakthrough in the development of quantum technology. Their research describes their observations of over 150,000 silicon 'T center' photon-spin qubits, an important milestone that unlocks immediate opportunities to construct massively scalable quantum computers and the quantum internet that will connect them. |
