You pick up a fragile glass from the table. Without thinking about it, you feel its surface against your fingertips and continuously adjust your grip. You hold it firmly enough to keep it from slipping out of your hand, but ...

Researchers at the Institute of Information Security at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) have uncovered security risks in the file notification systems of the widely used operating systems Windows, Linux, Android and ...

Getting up from a chair is something most of us don't think about. The movement is almost second nature: Our legs and hips work together in a precise sequence. But performing this task can be difficult for older people, often ...

Researchers in the Bio-Inspired Robotics Laboratory at Cambridge are exploring how soil behaves as an intelligent system. By studying its structure, chemistry and biological network of microbes and fungi, they aim to inspire ...

The world needs more wind energy. But anyone designing new wind turbines or trying to squeeze more power out of existing ones faces a stiff challenge when testing new approaches. That's because the atmosphere is a tough place ...

When engineers design a new aircraft, they need to know exactly how air flows over every surface. The pressure distribution must be controlled, or fuel efficiency, handling and even structural safety can be affected.

For a wearable device to distinguish walking from a brief swing of the arm, it must recognize how movement changes over time. Korean researchers have developed a technology that stacks semiconductor devices with different ...

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, making up about 30% of total protein and providing structure, strength and elasticity to skin, bones and soft tissues.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a next-generation electronic skin that can sense and directly visualize pressure in real time, addressing key limitations of current wearable sensing ...

It was a bizarre situation: The U.S. company xAI operated gas turbines mounted on large trucks in Southaven, Mississippi, to supply electricity to a data center just across the state line in Memphis, Tennessee.

Researchers at AIST, in collaboration with the Institute of Science Tokyo and the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, have developed a "current comparator" that uses diamond quantum sensors to accurately ...

As tech titans warned an AI-weary world that their own advanced systems could endanger humanity, the question emerged: What do they have to gain?
