Artificial Intelligence
A robot ‘chef’ has been trained to taste food at different stages of the chewing process to assess whether it’s sufficiently seasoned.
Neuroscience
Scientists discover new mechanism that might help prevent the build-up of tangles of proteins commonly seen in dementia.
Nanotechnology
The new method could slash the energy cost of artificial intelligence (AI), which is currently doubling globally every 3.5 months.
Physical Science
Scientists have designed “single photon emitters” that can work at room temperature and are based on quantum dots grown on cost-effective silicon substrates.
Imaging Technology
A futuristic technique conceptualized could enable astronomical imaging far more advanced than any present today
Astronomy
The new candidate system was found using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) instrument at Caltech's Palomar Observatory near San Diego.
Neuroscience
A new study reveals there is a general mechanism deep in the human brain that alerts us almost instantaneously when we make an error.
Developmental Biology
Study sheds light on a previously unknown pathway of genetic regulation and could suggest avenues of treatments for disease or other biotechnology.
Ecology
New study answers, what is it that the mosquitos are detecting, and how do they detect it
Physical Science
Researchers discover a strategy to switch the magnetization in thin layers of a ferromagnet – a technique that could eventually lead to the development of more energy-efficient magnetic memory devices.
Biomedical Science
Study finds that an Mtb protein called CinA reduces the efficacy of isoniazid and other antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis.
Robotics
Floating on the surface of water, the versatile microrobotic discs can move in circles, bunch up into a clump, spread out like gas or form a straight line like beads on a string.
