Robotic Bird Addresses the Biggest Aerodynamic Weakness of Drones

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Robotics /

A robotic bird tested in a wind tunnel could pave the way for drones capable of flying reliably in strong winds. Scientists from RMIT University in Australia and the University of Bristol in the UK recreated the Australian kestrel (Falco cenchroides) to uncover the secrets behind its remarkable ability to hover steadily in turbulent conditions—insights […]

Study Finds 70% Genetic Overlap Between Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

Leave a Comment / Biology, Genetics /

Researchers are increasingly discovering that psychiatric disorders that appear very different from one another may actually have overlapping genetic foundations. In February of the previous year, scientists reported that eight separate psychiatric conditions shared common genetic factors. A December follow-up study in Nature became the largest of its kind. Genetic Patterns Across Psychiatric Disorders Researchers

A new surgical robot has been trained to perform operations by analyzing surgical videos

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Tech /

A machine that learned by observing real surgical procedures for the first time successfully performed surgical steps with human-like precision. The study was led by researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, USA, with contributions from Stanford University experts, and was featured at the Conference on Robot Learning in Munich. The successful results of the

Mushrooms causing tiny human hallucinations contain no psychedelics

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Neuroscience /

If you ate a wild mushroom and suddenly began seeing tiny people, you might naturally assume it contained a known psychedelic compound. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case with Lanmaoa asiatica—locally called “jian shou qing”—a species sold in markets in Yunnan in southwestern China. Undercooked Consumption and Lilliputian Hallucinations When eaten insufficiently cooked,

A tennis robot rallies with you—then analyzes and critiques your performance

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Robotics /

Technology is reshaping a wide range of professions, and tennis coaching appears to be among its latest targets. The Acemate S10 goes beyond traditional ball machines by both launching and returning shots for a more realistic rally experience. The S10 uses dual 4K cameras for human-like depth perception and AI tracking for precise 3D ball

Quantum Entanglement Detected in Visible Crystal

Leave a Comment / Physics, Quantum Physics /

Quantum entanglement ranks among the most fascinating and mysterious phenomena in physics. Traditionally, scientists believed this quantum behavior appeared only in tiny, isolated systems such as atoms, electrons, or photons. Now, new research shows that entanglement can also exist in objects large enough to see and hold by hand. Researchers at TU Wien (Vienna University

Robotic bird sheds light on the mysteries of turbulent flight

Leave a Comment / Robotics, Tech /

A bio-inspired robotic bird that replicates the key movements of kestrels is helping researchers uncover the secrets behind the birds’ remarkable ability to hover. With climate change expected to intensify atmospheric turbulence, studying how birds naturally navigate and stabilize themselves in rough air could inform the design of small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs), making them

AI May Learn Languages More Effectively by Forgetting

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science /

Giving AI a human-like limitation on memory may actually improve its ability to learn language. In a new proof-of-concept study, Abishek Thamma of the University of Amsterdam and Micha Heilbron of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics found that small language models with a short-lived memory learned grammar more effectively when trained on language input
