Bistable structures in nature are unparalleled for their fast response and force amplification even with the minutest physical stimulation. Harnessing bistability and instability to rapidly release the stored energy in bistable ...

Say "hello" to the robots of the future: They're soft and flexible enough to bounce off walls or squeeze into tight spaces. And when you're done with them, you can toss these machines into a compost bin to decompose.

In recent years, computer scientists have been trying to develop effective models for sentiment analysis. These models are designed to analyze sentences or longer texts and autonomously determine their underlying emotional ...

Researchers have developed next-generation smart textiles—incorporating LEDs, sensors, energy harvesting, and storage—that can be produced inexpensively, in any shape or size, using the same machines used to make the ...

The earliest artificial neural network, the Perceptron, was introduced approximately 65 years ago and consisted of just one layer. However, to address solutions for more complex classification tasks, more advanced neural ...

5G communications' superfast download speeds rely on the high frequencies that drive the transmissions. But the highest frequencies come with a tradeoff.

Search and rescue efforts following disasters like the massive earthquakes in Turkey and Syria are a race against time. Emergency response teams need to quickly identify voids or spaces in building rubble where survivors ...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are considered a promising candidate for next-generation photovoltaic technology with high efficiency and low production cost, potentially revolutionizing the renewable energy industry. However, ...

ChatGPT is basking in virtually unprecedented popularity and acceptance by the tech community and general public, drawing more than 13 million users a day less than five months after its debut.

In the vast, expansive skies where birds once ruled supreme, a new crop of aviators is taking flight. These pioneers of the air are not living creatures, but rather a product of deliberate innovation: drones. But these aren't ...

A robot with the shape of a seed and the ability to explore the soil based on humidity changes has been developed. It is made of biodegradable materials and able to move within the surrounding environment without requiring ...

Today, foldable phones are ubiquitous. Now, using models that predict how well a flexible electronic device will conform to spherical surfaces, University of Wisconsin–Madison and University of Texas at Austin engineers ...
