A reinforcement learning-based four-legged robotic goalkeeper
Researchers at the Hybrid Robotics Group at UC Berkeley, Simon Fraser University and Georgia Institute of Technology have recently created a reinforcement learning model that allows a quadrupedal...
A strategy to fabricate kesterite solar cells with a 13% efficiency
Kesterite (Cu2ZnSnS4, CZTS) is a sulfide mineral with a unique lattice structure that can be considered as derived from chalcopyrite CuInSe2 (CIS) by substituting two atoms of In3+ in the...
An optical fiber sensor-based mouthguard to operate devices by bite force
Conventional interfaces for computers and other electronics only allow humans to operate devices using their fingers. Recent technological advancements, however, have opened valuable opportunities...
A clear definition and classification taxonomy for safety-critical self-adaptive robotic systems
Robotic systems are set to be introduced in a wide range of real-world settings, ranging from roads to malls, offices, airports, and healthcare facilities. To perform consistently well in these...
An efficient and highly performing memristor-based reservoir computing system
Reservoir computing (RC) is an approach for building computer systems inspired by current knowledge of the human brain. Neuromorphic computing architectures based on this approach are comprised of...
Exploring the decay processes of a quantum state weakly coupled to a finite-size reservoir
In quantum physics, Fermi's golden rule, also known as the golden rule of time-dependent perturbation theory, is a formula that can be used to calculate the rate at which an initial quantum state...
Study explores how the brain allows the use of previous knowledge to solve new problems
When humans and animals face a specific situation or problem, they typically have an overall idea of how to approach it. For instance, when walking into a shop, humans will know that they should...
The vulnerability of transformers-based malware detectors to adversarial attacks
Cyber attackers are coming up with increasingly sophisticated techniques to steal users' sensitive information, encrypt documents to receive a ransom, or damage computer systems. As a result,...
A new method to dehydrogenate alkanes at ambient conditions
The chemical term alkanes, or paraffins, refers to organic compounds that consist of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms, such as methane, ethane, and propane, and several other hydrocarbons....
The successful integration of a sub-0.5nm dielectric with 2D semiconductors
Field-effect transistors (FETs) are transistors in which the resistance of most of the electrical current can be controlled by a transverse electric field. Over the past decade or so, these devices...
