Non-reciprocal acoustoelectric amplifiers for very high frequency sound waves
In recent years, teams of engineers worldwide have been trying to develop acoustic devices based on piezoelectrics (i.e., materials that can produce electricity when mechanical stress is applied to...
A new AI-based tool to detect DDoS attacks
Cybercriminals are coming up with increasingly savvy ways to disrupt online services, access sensitive data or crash internet user's devices. A cyber-attack that has become very common over the past...
A framework characterizing the cardio-behavioral responses associated with fear and anxiety
Anxiety disorders are becoming increasingly common, with estimates suggesting that almost one in three people in the U.S. will experience high levels of anxiety at some point in their life. Anxiety...
A universal domain adaptation technique for remote sensing image classification
Domain adaptation approaches are techniques designed to improve the performance of computational models in specific target domains. These techniques are particularly valuable for tackling problems...
Study unveils an antiferromagnetic metal phase in an electron-doped rare-earth nickelate
Researchers at Harvard University, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Arizona State University, and other institutes in the United States have recently observed an antiferromagnetic metal...
Using a solidified liquid metal to build 3D flexible electronics
In recent years, engineers and material scientists have been trying to identify particularly promising materials for creating flexible electronics of different shapes and sizes. Ultimately, these...
A single dose of methylphenidate does not affect the contextual visual perception of children with ADHD, shows study
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder estimated to affect approximately 2.5% of children and adults worldwide. The disorder is characterized by the...
Study shows that distinct pyramidal cell types drive different patterns of cortical activity during decision-making
The outer layer of the brain, known as the cortex, is made of different types of neurons. Neuroscience studies suggest that these different neuron types have distinct functions, yet for a long time...
A robot that can help firefighters during indoor emergencies
Robots could be valuable assistants for most first responders, as they could help them to remotely monitor or intervene in areas that are inaccessible or life-threatening for humans. Firefighters,...
A new elastic polymer dielectric to create wafer-scale stretchable electronics
Over the past few years, material scientists and electronics engineers have been trying to fabricate new flexible inorganic materials to create stretchable and highly performing electronic devices....
