Researchers predicted a new type of dibaryon – particle with 6 quarks instead of usual 3.  To do this, they created quantum chromodynamics simulations on K computer.   It is made up of 2 Omega baryons, called di-Omega, containing 3 quarks each. Baryons are heavy subatomic particles that contain 3 quarks. The most common baryons are neutron ...

Astronomers observe two intense regions of radiation around a neutron star 6,500 light-years away.  The observation is equivalent to seeing an insect on the Pluto’s surface through a telescope on Earth. The study provides crucial data to understand mysterious Fast Radio Bursts coming from neutron stars.   Humans have been looking into space for centuries in ...

Are you looking for the best helicopter games out there? Well, if you do, then you’re at the right place. Unlike fixed wing aircraft (planes), helicopters are powered by the rotors, which allows them to take off and land vertically. Other unique attributes such as hovering and lateral flying makes helicopters much more useful in urban ...

Tech giants like IBM, Google, Intel, and numerous startups are racing to develop the new machine that utilizes quantum mechanical phenomena, like superposition and entanglement. Quantum computing will be extremely useful to the next-generation of computing and communication technology. However, the quantum computing is not going to come easily, and we don’t know anything for ...

Engineers develop self-localization algorithm that uses device-to-device communication.  It performs all calculations locally and eliminates the need of GPS or cell towers.  This linear model could be scaled to meet demands of billions of smart devices.  With 5G technologies, there is potential for networking billions of smart devices, the Internet-of-Things (IoT). At present, wireless devices use ...

Using a scanning electron microscope, scientists construct the world’s smallest microhouse.  It’s nearly 20 micrometers long, built on a cleaved optical fiber.  The experiment was a fun way to demonstrate the accuracy and flexibility of µRobotex.  Working at nanoscale is an extremely difficult task. It involves a lot of complex materials, assembly techniques, and robotic ...

Scientists build a consistent, accurate numeral model of the yearly water cycle on Mars.  They’ve included all minor parameters that affect Mars hydrological circulation.  They’ve also measured the atmospheric distribution and density of clouds formed by tiny ice crystals. Water on Mars was detected more than 50 years ago. Later, it was scrutinized by several space missions, ...

For more than a century, NASA has been exploring the universe while developing critical advances in aerospace and technology. The world’s leading space agency has landed humans on the moon, rovers on Mars, sampled the atmosphere of Jupiter, explored Mercury and Saturn and even recorded the data from Pluto – to name a few. Some ...

Football (not the American one) without a doubt is the world’s most popular form of sports. It is played in over 200 nations and by 265 million professional players. Often mentioned as “the beautiful game”, football almost always offers a great level of excitement and thrill. The only thing that is as exciting as a ...

The Facebook AI research team builds a universal music translation network.  It replicates the audio it hears and plays it back in various styles, genres and instruments.  It can process unheard musical sources, like claps or whistles, and produce high-quality audio. When it comes to music, humans have always been creative in replicating songs and ...

The new deep learning system teaches a robot how to perform specific tasks by observing humans.  It observes human actions and uses an image-centric domain randomization method to generate human-readable programs.  Then robot executes these human-readable programs in n number of steps.  Machine learning methods are already being used in several areas, from space exploration [to ...

RoSE is a dynamic spine brace that characterizes the 3 dimensional stiffness of the human torso.  It identifies and treats spinal deformities. The system consists of 12-degree-of-freedom supervised via 12 motors. Spinal deformities, like kyphosis and idiopathic scoliosis, are abnormalities of formation and alignment of the curvature in the spine. There are more than 4 million cases ...
