A system to transfer robotic dexterous manipulation skills from simulations to real robots
Last year, the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems organized the Real Robot Challenge, a competition that challenged academic labs to come up with solutions to the problem of...
An online method to allocate tasks to robots on a team during natural disaster scenarios
Teams of robots could help users to complete numerous tasks more rapidly and efficiently, as well as keeping human agents out of harm's way during hazardous operations. In recent years, some studies...
Researchers observe translation symmetry breaking in twisted bilayer graphene
Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene is a material made of two sheets of graphene placed on top of each other, with one sheet twisted at precisely 1.05 degrees with respect to the other. This...
Past research suggests that brain oscillations may support different cognitive functions by coordinating spike timing inside and across different brain regions. However, the role that the timing of these oscillations plays in specific neural computations is still unclear.

Locally produced neurosteroids regulate the emerging reproductive neural circuitry in the embryonic mouse brain
The onset of puberty, the developmental stage at which adolescents reach sexual maturity, is known to be associated with the activity of a specific class of neurons, namely gonadotropin-releasing...
The first unequivocal experimental evidence of a superfluid state in 2D 4He films
Over the past few decades, some physicists worldwide have been trying to use the second layer of 4He films adsorbed on a graphite substrate to study the interplay between superfluid and...
A new model to enable multi-object tracking in unmanned aerial systems
To efficiently navigate their surrounding environments and complete missions, unmanned aerial systems (UASs) should be able to detect multiple objects in their surroundings and track their movements...
Study demonstrates the potential of a quantum computer comprised of a small processor and a storage unit
Quantum computing systems, computer systems that are based on the key principles of quantum theory, could significantly outperform conventional computing systems, both in terms of speed and...
A model to classify financial texts while protecting users’ privacy
Over the past decade or so, computer scientists developed a variety of machine learning (ML) models that can analyze large amounts of data both quickly and efficiently. To be applied in real-world...
Study examines the differences between opioid receptor subtypes
Opioid receptors are proteins in the central nervous system that are targeted by opioid drugs for pain relief. There are three subtypes of opioid receptors, MOP, DOP and KOP, in addition to the...
