DeepEyedentification: identifying people based on micro eye movements
Past cognitive psychology research suggests that eye movements can differ substantially from one individual to another. Interestingly, these individual characteristics in eye movements have been...
Enhancing the locomotion of small robots with microwheels
Microbots could have several useful applications, particularly within biomedical and healthcare settings. For instance, due to their small size, these small machines could be inserted within the...
Study unveils a route to high hole mobility in gallium nitride
Gallium nitride (GaN) is a material often used to build semiconductor power devices and light emitting diodes (LEDs). In the past, researchers have explored the possibility of realizing GaN...
Researchers uncover an anomaly in the electromagnetic duality of Maxwell Theory
Researchers at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (WPI) and Tohoku University in Japan have recently identified an anomaly in the electromagnetic duality of Maxwell...
Study investigates how spin-orbit interaction protects Majorana nanowires
Researchers at Delft University of Technology have recently carried out a study investigating spin-orbit interaction in Majorana nanowires. Their study, published in Physical Review Letters, is the...
A technique to measure mechanical motion beyond the quantum limit
Researchers at the University of Colorado have recently developed a new technique to measure mechanical motion using simultaneous electromechanical amplification and cooling processes. Their method,...
Autonomous visual inspection of large-scale infrastructures using micro aerial vehicles (MAVs)
A team of researchers at Luleå University of Technology, in Sweden, has developed a new framework for performing visual inspections of large 3-D infrastructures using fully autonomous micro aerial...
Researchers explore interactions between preschoolers and robotic partners
The relationship between humans and robots has become the focus of an increasing number of research studies, in light of the approaching integration of robots within a variety of fields, including...
Study reports high-harmonic generation in an epsilon-near-zero material
High-harmonic generation (HHG) is a nonlinear optical phenomenon through which high harmonics of an intense laser beam are generated in a target material, typically a gas. Physicists have been...
Study unveils new supersymmetry anomalies in superconformal quantum field theories
Researchers at the University of Southampton and the Korea Institute for Advanced Study have recently showed that supersymmetry is anomalous in N=1 superconformal quantum field theories (SCFTs) with...
