BMW has been working on a self-riding motorcycle prototype for more than 2 years. It can go from one stop to another, lean into turns and apply breaks all by itself. It will still take years before we see these bikes on open roads. The risk of an...
A new model provides an unprecedented view of how vascular system of the brain controls metabolic functions. It’s made up of organs-on-chips that simulate functions of living human organs. Each organ chip contains a flexible polymer about the...
New double-layer solar cells use photoactive materials to harvest a wider solar spectrum. It sets a new record of converting 22.4% of the sunlight into electrical energy. The double layer solar cell sits on a two-millimeter thick glass substrate...
Researchers show that eating all calories in a 10-hour window could improve health. They performed experiments with mice and found this type of fasting reduces the risk of developing diabetes, fatty liver, and high cholesterol. The expression of...
Researchers develop translational acoustic radio frequency to enable seamless air-water communication. It only needs two components to work: an underwater transmitter and a receiver above the water surface. Did you know that underwater machines...
A new acoustic side-channel attack uses smartphone’s speaker and microphone to steal user’s information. It works by generating sound waves to track movements of user’s fingers on the touchscreen. It can reduce the number of...
The new method uses naturally abundant materials to remove dissolved substances from rainwater. Researchers coated the sand with manganese oxide, making it more biodegradable. Urban storm water contains low concentrations of trace organic...
A new neural network can analyze raw audio and text data to discover patterns indicating depression. It’s a context-free model that doesn’t rely on any specific sets of questions and their responses. The average prediction accuracy of...
New acoustophoretic printing uses sound waves to precisely create droplets from a variety of liquids. The method independent of viscosity and composition of liquid. The lower the amplitude of the sound wave, the bigger the droplet size. It can be...
New deep learning based system can show individuals mirroring the moves of their favorite dance stars. The algorithm doesn’t require any expensive 3D or motion capture data to generate high-quality videos. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is...
KELT-9b is the hottest known exoplanet where temperatures reach more than 4,000°C. Most molecules found on this planet exist in atomic form. Using spectrograph, researchers detected iron and titanium vapors in its atmosphere. Exoplanets (planets...
The atomic-scale transistor made of a silver atom is approximately 1 nanometer in size. It consumes extremely low voltage of the order of 10 mV. This 3-terminal switch can work at room temperature – a big plus point for future applications...
