Tech Xplore / Suggestible people feel more 'present' in virtual reality, study finds
People with vivid imaginations are more likely than others to believe they truly inhabit the worlds they visit in virtual reality (VR) according to new research led by the University of Bath.
Dialog / Mineralogy meets zero-shot computer vision
Identifying minerals is a complex and time-consuming problem for geologists, often taking anywhere from 30 minutes to several days per sample. Further complicating the situation is the fact that a sufficient portion of minerals ...
Tech Xplore / Efficient single-winged aerial robots with reduced energy consumption
Flying robotic systems have already proved to be highly promising for tackling numerous real-world problems, including explorations of remote environments, the delivery of packages in inaccessible sites, and searches for ...
Tech Xplore / New study shows large language models have high toxic probabilities and leak private information
Generative AI may be riddled with hallucinations, misinformation, and bias, but that didn't stop over half of respondents in a recent global study from saying that they would use this nascent technology for sensitive areas ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists invent micrometers-thin battery charged by saline solution that could power smart contact lenses
Scientists from NTU Singapore have developed a flexible battery as thin as a human cornea, which stores electricity when it is immersed in saline solution, and which could one day power smart contact lenses.
Tech Xplore / New dual-arm robot achieves bimanual tasks by learning from simulation
An innovative bimanual robot displays tactile sensitivity close to human-level dexterity using AI to inform its actions.
Tech Xplore / TP-Link's Tapo smart bulb found to be vulnerable to hackers
A pair of information security specialists at Universita di Catania, working with a colleague from the University of London, have found four security vulnerabilities in one of TP-Link's most popular smart-bulbs. Davide Bonaventura, ...
Tech Xplore / New study finds ways to suppress lithium plating in automotive batteries for faster charging electric vehicles
A new study led by Dr. Xuekun Lu from Queen Mary University of London in collaboration with an international team of researchers from the UK and U.S. has found a way to prevent lithium plating in electric vehicle batteries, ...
Tech Xplore / New framework enables human-robot interaction for broader access to deep sea scientific exploration
Scientific exploration of the deep ocean has largely remained inaccessible to most people because of barriers to access due to infrastructure, training, and physical ability requirements for at-sea oceanographic research.
Tech Xplore / AI helps robots manipulate objects with their whole bodies
Imagine you want to carry a large, heavy box up a flight of stairs. You might spread your fingers out and lift that box with both hands, then hold it on top of your forearms and balance it against your chest, using your whole ...
Tech Xplore / Computation model paves the way for more efficient energy systems
About 70% of the energy we use in everyday life is wasted in the form of heat, produced by engines, factories, and electrical devices. However, researchers from EPFL's School of Engineering have made a significant theoretical ...
