Researchers at UNIST have developed an AI technology capable of reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) representations of unfamiliar objects manipulated with both hands, as well as simulated surgical scenes involving intertwined hands and medical instruments. This advancement enables highly accurate augmented reality (AR) visualizations, further enhancing real-time interaction capabilities.... Read more

A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has successfully developed the world's first technology that enables uniform and even stretching across multiple pixels in a stretchable display. This breakthrough overcomes a critical challenge in the field and has been selected as a Back Cover article in... Read more

What if the same RFID "smart barcode" tags used to track packages and retail inventory could also detect changes in the real world—like temperature, pressure or weight—without batteries or added hardware?... Read more

Number 1519 Connecticut Avenue lies just north of Dupont Circle, just over a 20-minute walk from the White House in Washington DC. In 1921, the inventor Charles Francis Jenkins set up his laboratory and offices there, upstairs from a car dealership.... Read more

In the world of machine learning and artificial intelligence, clean data is everything. Even a small number of mislabeled examples known as label noise can derail the performance of a model, especially those like support vector machines (SVMs) that rely on a few key data points to make decisions....

Art restoration takes steady hands and a discerning eye. For centuries, conservators have restored paintings by identifying areas needing repair, then mixing an exact shade to fill in one area at a time. Often, a painting can have thousands of tiny regions requiring individual attention. Restoring a single painting can... Read more

Silicon is king in the semiconductor technology that underpins smartphones, computers, electric vehicles and more, but its crown may be slipping, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State.... Read more

Today, 2.2 billion people in the world lack access to safe drinking water. In the United States, more than 46 million people experience water insecurity, living with either no running water or water that is unsafe to drink. The increasing need for drinking water is stretching traditional resources such as... Read more

Ride-hailing firm Uber will launch self-driving taxis in London next year when England trials new driverless services, the firm and the UK government said on Tuesday.... Read more

Researchers at Rice University have developed a soft robotic arm capable of performing complex tasks such as navigating around an obstacle or hitting a ball, guided and powered remotely by laser beams without any onboard electronics or wiring. The research could inform new ways to control implantable surgical devices or... Read more

A research team has developed a self-powered wireless carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring system. This innovative system harvests minute vibrational energy from its surroundings to periodically measure CO2 concentrations.... Read more

Artificial intelligence 's use in movie making is exploding. And a young film festival, now in its junior year, is showcasing what this technology can do on screen today.... Read more

Intensity interferometry is a promising technique that enables the precise measurement of spatial properties (i.e., distances, shapes and light properties) by probing fluctuations in the intensity (i.e., brightness) of light, as opposed to the exact timing and phase of light waves probed by amplitude (phase) interferometry. Intensity interferometry could overcome... Read more

Researchers from the São Paulo State University (UNESP) and the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES) in Brazil have developed a wearable device to help visually impaired people move around. The technology has tactile beacons that can warn of the presence of obstacles, guaranteeing users greater autonomy and safety when... Read more

A team of physicists from the University at Albany has proposed scientifically rigorous methods for documenting and analyzing Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) building upon the work of numerous past and present researchers in the field.... Read more
