New acoustic resonators based on commercial field effect transistors
A key objective of electronics engineering studies focusing on radio communication is the development of increasingly smaller, lighter, and low-power radio components. This could be achieved by...
Exploring the potential of the seal-like Paro robot in an elderly care setting
In recent years, many roboticists and psychologists have been assessing the value of social robots as companions and assistants for older adults. Although some findings suggest that they could be...
A high-speed sequential deposition strategy to fabricate photoactive layers for organic cells
Organic photovoltaics, solar energy devices based on organic semiconductors, have so far achieved very promising results in experimental settings, both in terms of efficiency and stability. However,...
Study assesses the quality of AI literary translations by comparing them with human translations
Recent advancements in the field of machine learning (ML) have greatly improved the quality of automatic translation tools. At present, these tools are primarily used to translate basic sentences,...
Study unveils the compositions and origins of global airborne bacteria on Earth
Microbiomes, microorganisms that populate specific environments, are known to include both beneficial and harmful bacterial species. Understanding how destructive microbiomes originate in changing...
Study shows that adaptive immune responses can cause cellular loss in the aging brain
Past neuroscience studies have consistently demonstrated that the aging of the mammalian nervous system is liked with a decline in the volume and functioning of white matter, nerve fibers found in...
Gate-tunable heterojunction tunnel triodes based on 2D metal selenide and 3D silicon
Electronics engineers worldwide are trying to improve the performance of devices, while also lowering their power consumption. Tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs), an experimental class of...
The direct measurement of a proton’s generalized polarizabilities in the strong quantum chromodynamics regime
Quantum chromodynamics is an area of study that explores the strong interactions between quarks mediated by gluons. Quarks are elementary particles with an electric charge, which are building blocks...
WeTac: A small, soft and ultrathin wireless electrotactile system
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets are becoming increasingly advanced, enabling increasingly engaging and immersive digital experiences. To make VR and AR experiences even more...
Adult-born dentate granule cells support the activity of hippocampal cell populations
The dentate gyrus (DG) is a region of the mammalian brain known to support the encoding of new memories. This brain region is part of the hippocampal formation, a set of brain regions involved in...
