Neuromechanics-inspired control solution boosts robot adaptability
To be successfully deployed on a large-scale and in a wide range of real-world settings, robots should be able to rapidly adjust their movements while interacting with humans and their surroundings,...
Modular robot design uses tethered jumping for planetary exploration
Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of robotic systems, including spacecraft for the exploration of other planets. These new systems could ultimately...
Mapping the human brain’s default mode network: Anatomical study suggests it has widespread influence
The default mode network (DMN) is a set of interconnected brain regions known to be most active when humans are awake but not engaged in physical activities, such as relaxing, resting or...
Dual-domain architecture shows almost 40 times higher energy efficiency for running neural networks
Many conventional computer architectures are ill-equipped to meet the computational demands of machine learning-based models. In recent years, some engineers have thus been trying to design...

A promising technique to steer laser-produced THz radiation in air
Terahertz radiation (THz), electromagnetic radiation with frequencies ranging from 0.1 and 10 THz, is central to the functioning of various technologies, including imaging, sensing and spectroscopy...
Brain-inspired neural networks reveal insights into biological basis of relational learning
Humans and certain animals appear to have an innate capacity to learn relationships between different objects or events in the world. This ability, known as "relational learning," is widely regarded...
The ALPHA experiment moves towards the increasingly precise study of antihydrogen
Antimatter is a fascinating kind of matter made up of antiparticles, which have a mass equivalent to that of their normal matter counterparts, yet they exhibit an opposite charge and distinct...
Exploring the stability of risk preference: Meta-analysis reveals discrepancies in how it’s measured
Past psychology research suggests that some people are more prone than others to take risks in uncertain situations, such as investing money in risky business ventures, consuming addictive...
High-definition organic LED microdisplays with reduced electrical crosstalk could enhance VR and AR experiences
The rapid advancement of the electronics industry is opening new possibilities for the development of increasingly advanced device components, including displays. Many of the most widely used and...
