A strategy to fine-tune the properties of Lewis bases for electrochemical carbon dioxide capture
In recent years, many engineers and material scientists have been trying to develop sustainable energy solutions that could help to mitigate climate change on Earth. This includes carbon capture...
Improving the autonomous navigation of mobile robots in crowded spaces using people as sensors
A team of researchers from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Stanford University led by Prof. Katie Driggs-Campbell, have recently developed a new deep reinforcement learning-based...
Exploring the role of social contexts on neural processes underpinning alcohol consumption
The abuse of alcoholic beverages can increase the risk of numerous serious mental and physical health problems, including addiction, liver diseases, heart disease, strokes, and cancer. Identifying...
Motor units in the spinal cord might be far more flexible than we thought
When humans and other mammals perform voluntary movements, a series of neural processes take place. The cerebral cortex, the outer region of the brain, sends signals to motor units (i.e., neurons)...
Study proves a generalization of Bell’s theorem: Quantum correlations are genuinely tripartite and nonlocal
Quantum theory predicts the existence of so-called tripartite-entangled states, in which three quantum particles are related in a way that has no counterpart in classical physics. Theoretical...
A system that allows users to communicate with others remotely while embodying a humanoid robot
Recent technological advancements are opening new and exciting opportunities for communicating with others and visiting places remotely. These advancements include telepresence robots, moving...
Electrons with Planckian scattering in strange metals follow standard rules of orbital motion in a magnet
Strange metals, or non-Fermi liquids, are distinct states of matter that have been observed in different quantum materials, including cuprate superconductors. These states are characterized by...
An automated system to clean restrooms in convenience stores
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a robotic system that could automate the cleaning of restrooms in convenience stores and other public spaces. This system, introduced in a...
Study explores how visual effects in videogames help players to make sense of game worlds
Visual effects (VFX) can help to make videogames more engaging and immersive for players. However, they are often also designed to support players, for instance, by pointing them to specific...
T2CI GAN: A deep learning model that generates compressed images from text
Generative adversarial networks (GANs), a class of machine learning frameworks that can generate new texts, images, videos, and voice recordings, have been found to be highly valuable for tackling...
