Reliably tracking and manipulating the mammalian nervous system in laboratory or clinical settings allows neuroscientists to test their hypotheses, which may in turn lead to new important discoveries. The most well-established and widely used technologies for studying...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new interesting opportunities for the music industry, for instance, enabling the development of tools that can automatically generate musical compositions or specific instrument tracks. Yet most existing tools are designed to be...
In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, recharge faster, discharge slower, and have longer lifespans. To achieve this, many have been experimenting with new cathode materials, as...
Transcranial focused ultrasound, a non-invasive technique to stimulate specific areas of the brain using high-frequency sound waves, could be a promising treatment strategy for many neurological disorders. Most notably, it could help to treat drug-resistant epilepsy...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have proved to be highly effective systems for monitoring and exploring environments. These autonomous flying robots could also be used to create detailed maps and three-dimensional (3D) visualizations of...
In recent years, electronics engineers have developed a wide range of wearable and implantable devices that can detect and record biological signals. These devices can help to keep track of various physiological processes, such as heart rate, arterial pulse, sleep...
Many animal species, ranging from insects to amphibians and fish, use jumping as a means of moving within their surrounding environment. Jumping can be very advantageous for these animals, for instance, allowing them to reach higher branches of trees, swiftly escape...
Ensuring that robots can smoothly collaborate with humans in real-world environments is a crucial step towards their large-scale deployment. While some robotic systems are already engaging daily with human agents, for instance at partially automated industrial and...
The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to process large amounts of data has increased the need for better performing memory devices. The data storage solutions that could help to meet the computational demands of AI include so-called...
