Computational event-driven vision sensors that convert motion into spiking signals
Neuromorphic vision sensors are unique sensing devices that automatically respond to environmental changes, such as a different brightness in their surrounding environment. These sensors mimic the...
Mapping the relations between Manhattan Project scientists using network science
The Manhattan Project was a top-secret program that culminated in the development of the first atomic bombs during World War 2. This covert and controversial research endeavor involved many gifted...
Testing the biological reasoning capabilities of large language models
Large language models (LLMs) are advanced deep learning algorithms that can process written or spoken prompts and generate texts in response to these prompts. These models have recently become...
Dobb-E: A framework to train multi-skilled robots for domestic use
Roboticists have been trying to develop robots that can tackle various everyday house chores, such as washing dishes or tidying up, for several years. However, so far none of the robots created has...
A digital twin system that could enhance collaborative human-robot product assembly
Robotics systems have already been introduced in numerous real-world settings, including some industrial and manufacturing facilities. In these facilities, robots can assist human assembly line and...
New ‘n-i-p’ perovskite/organic hybrid tandem solar cells with efficiencies over 23%
Engineers and material scientists have been working to develop increasingly advanced photovoltaic solutions, to convert as much solar energy as possible into electricity and help to reduce...
A borate-pyran-based electrolyte that minimizes corrosion in Li-metal batteries
Electrolytes are key battery components that transfer charge carrying particles (i.e., ions) back and forth between two electrodes, ultimately allowing batteries to repeatedly charge and discharge....
A strategy to realize the efficient resonant absorption of guided water waves
The absorption of water waves is the process through which water waves lose their energy, thus reducing their impact on shores or other solid structures surrounding them. Enabling this absorption...
Global research collaboration maps brain development in infancy and early childhood
The brains of infants and young children are in continuous and rapid development. These changes are known to go hand in hand with early life learning and the fine-tuning of mental abilities over time.
Gathering more effective human demonstrations to teach robots new skills
To effectively assist humans in real-world settings, robots should be able to learn new skills and adapt their actions based on what users require them to do at different times. One way to achieve...
