Evidence of a quantum phase transition without symmetry breaking in cerium-cobalt-indium 5
Over the past few decades, many condensed matter physicists have conducted research focusing on quantum phase transitions that are not clearly associated with a broken symmetry. One reason that...
Study sheds new light on how semantic information is organized in the brain
The human brain stores and organizes meaningful information in different regions and networks. While past neuroscience studies have examined some of these networks in great depth, the relationship...
Moving toward the first flying humanoid robot
Researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) have recently been exploring a fascinating idea, that of creating humanoid robots that can fly. To efficiently control the...
Exploring factors impacting the sensitivity of amorphous oxide semiconductors to externally induced impurities
In recent years, electronics engineers have been trying to broaden the pool of available semiconducting materials, to enable the development of a wider range of devices. One emerging class of...
Exploring the factors that influence drivers while transitioning from highly automated driving
In recent years, many companies have been investing in fully and partly autonomous vehicles. Before these vehicles can be deployed in the real world and on a large scale; however, their developers...
Study re-examines the decay of 185Bi using state-of-the-art technologies
Researchers at University of Surrey, University of York, University of Edinburgh, and Argonne National Laboratory have recently revisited and solved some of the long-standing puzzles associated with...
A new micro aerial robot based on dielectric elastomer actuators
Micro-sized robots could have countless valuable applications, for instance, assisting humans during search-and-rescue missions, conducting precise surgical procedures, and agricultural...
Study shows that zwitterions can raise the dielectric constant of soft materials
To create efficient energy storage solutions and actuators, engineers need materials with a high dielectric constant. The dielectric constant is essentially the ratio of a substance's permittivity...
Neural mechanism facilitates network integration for fertility-controlling neurons and sexual maturation
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the primary hormone regulating sexual reproduction in humans and other mammals. Past neuroscience studies have found that GnRH-producing neurons migrate from...
Curve Light: A highly performing indoor positioning system
In recent years, engineers have been trying to develop more effective sensors and tools to monitor indoor environments. Serving as the foundation of these tools, indoor positioning systems...
