The innovative team of engineers at UCLA has recently developed a groundbreaking tunable dynamic material inspired by the mechanics of push puppet toys. This new class of metamaterial has the potential to transform the field of soft robotics and open up a world of possibilities in reconfigurable architectures and space engineering. By mimicking the tension-based
The recent federal court ruling against Google for maintaining an illegal monopoly in internet search has sparked a heated debate among users and tech enthusiasts. While Google’s search engine is widely recognized as the best in the United States, the company’s tactics to secure its dominance have come under scrutiny. The ruling, delivered by D.C.
Imagine a small lawnmower-like robot with a single black pole and a tablet-sized screen that has the ability to protect children at crosswalks. This innovative prototype called CrossBot, created by Hovannes Kulhandjian, an associate professor in electrical and computer engineering at Fresno State, is equipped with advanced sensors and algorithms to ensure the safety of
Dr. Jin Gu Kang and his team from the Nanophotonics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have recently made a breakthrough in the field of radiant cooling technology. Their innovative research has led to the development of a colorful radiation-cooling liquid crystal material that not only provides efficient cooling without
The importance of accurately measuring body mass in biomedical research cannot be understated. For researchers working with mice, traditional weighing techniques can be stressful for the animals, leading to variables that may affect the outcome of experiments. This stress can also limit the frequency and reliability of measurements, impacting the validity of experimental results overall.
A recent study conducted by Washington University in St. Louis researchers has revealed a surprising psychological phenomenon related to the training of artificial intelligence. Participants involved in training AI to play a bargaining game exhibited a tendency to adjust their behavior to appear more fair and just. This behavior change in response to the knowledge
The Autonomie Express tool developed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory is aimed at providing insights into the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of vehicles on a large scale. This tool is free for all users and is targeted towards transport and mobility companies, researchers, city planners, and other stakeholders. It
The field of robotics has been greatly influenced by the wing dynamics of various flying animal species, such as birds, bats, and insects. While the flapping mechanisms of birds and bats have been extensively studied, the processes behind the wing movements of insects have remained somewhat of a mystery. A recent study by researchers at
With the significant increase in e-commerce activities globally, the number of parcels being delivered has reached unprecedented levels. This surge in parcel deliveries has raised concerns about environmental impact, especially in terms of carbon emissions and air pollution. Traditional delivery methods, using high-emitting diesel vans or trucks for last-mile deliveries, are contributing to traffic congestion
