An origami-inspired robotic fingertip with shape-morphing capabilities
To perform tasks that involve moving or handling objects, robots should swiftly adapt their grasp and manipulation strategies based on the properties of these objects and the environment surrounding...
Reviewing past neuroscience research that explores the neural mechanisms of aggression
Aggression is a common behavior both among humans and other animals, which is known to be particularly important for defense, protection and survival. While psychologists and neuroscientists have...
HAMLET: A platform to simplify AI research and development
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have proved to be highly valuable computational tools for tackling a variety of real-world problems, including image, audio and text classification tasks. Computer...
The first demonstration of phase-matching between an electron wave and a light wave
While researchers have conducted countless studies exploring the interaction between light waves and bound electron systems, the quantum interactions between free electrons and light have only...
Programmable electronics based on the reversible doping of 2-D semiconductors
In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop new types of highly performing electronic devices. As silicon-based devices are approaching their maximum performance, they have recently...
Using social robots to improve children’s language skills
As robots share many characteristics with toys, they could prove to be a valuable tool for teaching children in engaging and innovative ways. In recent years, some roboticists and computer...
Study finds that lovers perform better than random pairs in collaborative creative tasks
Love and romantic relationships are the core inspiration for countless literary and artistic works, including poems, songs, novels and movies. Over the past few decades, some psychology researchers...
Study sets the first germanium-based constraints on dark matter
Cosmological observations and measurements collected in the past suggest that ordinary matter, which includes stars, galaxies, the human body and countless other objects/living organisms, only makes...
Why solar axions cannot explain the observed XENON1T excess
For several decades, physicists and astrophysicists have theorized about the existence of dark matter in the universe. This elusive type of matter would be made up of particles that do not absorb,...
A molecular shift register that can be controlled by external charges
In recent years, electronics engineers have been trying to create molecular-scale electronics, new types of devices that use single molecules. In order for these devices to work, however, scientists...
