A precise measurement of the neutral weak form factor of Ca-48
The CREX Collaboration, a large group of researchers from different universities worldwide who are involved in the Calcium Radius Experiment (CREX), has recently collected a precise measurement of...
Study unveils a global dysregulation of dopamine in mice with chronic inflammatory pain
Over the past decades, many neuroscientists have investigated how the mammalian brain modulates pain, trying to uncover the neural mechanisms underpinning chronic pain. Chronic pain is pain in...
Researchers realize two coherently convertible qubit types using a single ion species
Trapped ion computers are quantum computers in which the qubits (quantum units of information) are ions trapped by electric fields and manipulated with lasers. To avoid crosstalk between nearby...
Using tactile sensors and machine learning to improve how robots manipulate fabrics
In recent years, roboticists have been trying to improve how robots interact with different objects found in real-world settings. While some of their efforts yielded promising results, the...
The entanglement of two quantum memory systems 12.5 km apart from each other
Quantum computing technology could have notable advantages over classical computing technology, including a faster speed and the ability to tackle more complex problems. In recent years, some...
New insight on the regulatory mechanisms underpinning the development of cortical neurons
Neurons in the cerebral cortex, a region in the mammalian brain involved in complex motor functions, sensory perception and cognition, can have very different qualities and characteristics. These...
The Wheelbot: A symmetric unicycle with jumping reaction wheels
Researchers at RWTH Aachen University in the team of Prof. Sebastian Trimpe and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) Stuttgart have recently developed the Wheelbot a symmetric...
An ultrafast and highly performing nonlinear splitter based on lithium niobate
Optics, technologies that leverage the behavior and properties of light, are the basis of many existing technological tools, most notably fiber communication systems that enable long- and...
A flexible, rod-driven soft robot for biomedical applications
Soft robots that can complete tasks with high efficiency, accuracy and precision could have numerous valuable applications. For instance, they could be introduced in medical settings, helping...
A new explainable AI paradigm that could enhance human-robot collaboration
Artificial intelligence (AI) methods have become increasingly advanced over the past few decades, attaining remarkable results in many real-world tasks. Nonetheless, most existing AI systems do not...
