A recent study provides evidence to help solve one of the key hurdles to large-scale manufacture of next-generation perovskite solar cells.

To train artificial intelligence (AI) models, researchers need good data and lots of it. However, most real-world data has already been used, leading scientists to generate synthetic data. While the generated data helps solve ...

Until now, when scientists created magnetic robots, their magnetization profiles were generally fixed, enabling only a specific type of shape programming capability using applied external magnetic fields. Researchers at the ...

Growing up, we learn to push just hard enough to move a box and to avoid touching a hot pan with our bare hands. Now, a robot hand has been developed that also has these instincts.

A joint team from the University of Stuttgart in Germany and the University of Melbourne in Australia has developed a new method for the straightforward analysis of tiny nanoplastic particles in environmental samples. One ...

Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have developed increasingly sophisticated sensors that can reliably measure a wide range of physiological signals, including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate and ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a portable, silent subwoofer that combines electrical muscle stimulation with low-frequency vibrations. This device enables users to physically feel deep bass in virtual ...

Our increasingly digitized world has a data storage problem. Hard drives and other storage media are reaching their limits, and we are creating data faster than we can store it. Fortunately, we don't have to look too far ...

Researchers from the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa (Italy) and Brown University in Providence (U.S.) have discovered that people sense the hand of a humanoid robot as part of their body schema, particularly ...

Cryopreservation, or preserving biological tissue by cooling it to subzero temperatures, may bring to mind works of science fiction. Yet, researchers have been working on this technology for nearly 100 years. For most of ...

Exoskeletons typically work by implementing motions programmed in advance and having the user call for them, making it difficult to use them for a wide range of motions in real-life environments.

Researchers at National Taiwan University developed a new device that captures energy from vibrations more efficiently. Its self-adjusting mechanism enables resonance with environmental frequencies, resulting in higher power ...
