Researchers have developed a new light-based computing scheme that uses a photonic integrated circuit to reduce the energy necessary for cryptocurrency and blockchain applications. Mining cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin—a process of verifying transactions and adding new […]
Researchers from the College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering at Nankai University have used flexible artificial synapse devices to develop a neuromorphic motion perception system that realizes the brain’s multisensory functions at the hardware […]
Mass spectrometers are extremely precise chemical analyzers that have many applications, from evaluating the safety of drinking water to detecting toxins in a patient’s blood. But building an inexpensive, portable mass spectrometer that could be […]
If you’re like most homeowners, you probably love the natural light in your home. It not only brightens up the space but also creates a cozy and welcoming environment. But what if your home doesn’t […]
If you’re facing appliance issues, you know how frustrating it can be. That’s where a professional appliance repair company can come to the rescue! But with so many options out there, how do you know […]
Researchers in Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) have designed a system that makes an off-the-shelf quadruped robot nimble enough to walk a narrow balance beam—a feat that is likely the first of its kind.This […]
Urban real-world environments have limited physical space for foot-based locomotion and present challenges to natural VR locomotion (since virtual environments are much larger than the corresponding real-world environment), a fact that has been noted in […]
Coding is undoubtedly the most important skill that kids should learn at school. Among all the subjects, coding is uniquely placed to bring together inquiry-based learning, critical-thinking, applied mathematics, sequential thinking, logical reasoning, debugging problems […]
Cornell University researchers have developed a silent-speech recognition interface that uses acoustic-sensing and artificial intelligence to continuously recognize up to 31 unvocalized commands, based on lip and mouth movements.This post was originally published on this […]
Whether drilling, turning or milling: In machining—as well as in primary forming and re-forming, die casting and many other applications—tools are of pivotal importance for industrial production. Their performance significantly influences both the quality and […]
