Apple iPhone 6s review: Showing its age, but still a worthy contender
Investigating dynamics of democratic elections using physics theory
Sometimes, physics theories and constructs can also be used to study seemingly unrelated phenomena, such as social behaviors or dynamics. While human beings are not necessarily similar to specific...
LiftTiles: Actuator-based building blocks for shape-changing interfaces
Large-scale interfaces that change shape could be used to create interactive displays or environments that can be adapted to meet the needs human users. Despite their potential, creating these...
M-Hubo: A wheeled humanoid robot to assist humans with simple daily tasks
Researchers worldwide are now training robotic agents to assist humans in a variety of manual tasks, including cooking and moving objects. While many of these robots have achieved promising results,...
New organic-metal oxide transistors with high operational stability
Metal oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs), which are built by depositing thin films of an active metal oxide-based semiconducting material on a supporting substrate, have become widely used over the...
New phase diagrams of superfluid helium under varying degrees of confinement
Physicists have been studying superfluid 3He under nanoscale confinement for several years now, as this unique liquid presents a rich variety of phases with complex order parameters that can be...
Precise measurements find a crack in universal physics
The concept of universal physics is intriguing, as it enables researchers to relate physical phenomena in a variety of systems, irrespective of their varying characteristics and complexities....
RoboFly: An insect-sized robot that can fly, walk and drift on water surfaces
Insect-size robots could have numerous useful applications, for instance, aiding search and rescue (SAR) missions, simplifying the inspection of infrastructures and speeding up agricultural...
Talek: A private messaging system that hides message contents and user communication patterns
Encrypted messaging services, which prevent cyberattackers from reading the contents of messages exchanged by their users, have become increasingly popular over the past decade or so. While these...
The experimental observation of echoes in a single molecule
Echoes, sounds that are repeated or reverberate as a result of waves reflected back to the listener, occur in several physical systems. In physics research, echoes are typically used to eliminate...
