Florida International University researchers have developed a new way to detect incoming drones using the unique magnetic signatures generated by their motors—offering a detection method that is stealthier, safer and cheaper ...

Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a body shape that resembles that of humans, could tackle various chores and everyday manual tasks. To successfully complete these tasks, however, the robots should be able to reliably ...

Manufacturing aircraft components, battery materials, cutting tools, biomedical implants and other precision-engineered parts often involves metals in powder form.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a therapeutic technique that delivers electrical pulses to specific areas of the brain via an implant to modulate neural activity. It is already widely used for movement disorders such as Parkinson's ...

Hundreds of the nation's computer scientists gathered for a conference in Denver last fall, and Tuan Tran had a big test for them: Could they tell the difference between the real Brad Pitt and an AI-generated version of him?

A research team at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a dynamic integrated interface engineering strategy that enhances the energy density and stability of anode-free lithium metal batteries ...

Generative artificial intelligence models are rooted in ideas of mid-20th-century engineers who thought some amount of irrationality was essential for a machine that could think like a human, contends Benjamin Lindquist, ...

Researchers at the University of Arkansas and the University of Michigan have reported the creation of a graphene-based energy harvester that uses ambient radiation to run ultralow-power temperature sensors. This is the second ...

Hydrogen's ability to power a cleaner future hinges not only on finding materials capable of efficiently storing and releasing it, but also on understanding the trade-off between storage capacity and practical operating conditions.

One day, you may be able to easily smell what you are looking at when browsing online. Sending smells over the internet has long been a dream, and while it may seem far-fetched, researchers have now taken a major step toward ...

AI agents tend to do things when we give them specific commands, such as analyzing data and answering questions. But what would they do if left to their own devices?

Researchers at the National University of Singapore's College of Design and Engineering (CDE) have developed a fiber that functions as pixels and senses touch at the same time, integrating 54 of them into a sleeve to create ...
