Small Adjustment in Airflow Lowers Indoor Infection Risk by Up to 90%

Health, Science /

A newly designed airflow system could significantly limit the indoor transmission of airborne diseases. During the winter months, as people spend more time indoors, the quality of indoor air becomes increasingly important. This concern is heightened during cold and flu season, when respiratory infections are more likely to spread in confined spaces. At the University […]

Quantum Teleportation was Achieved over the Internet for the First Time

Physics, Quantum Physics /

In 2024, researchers in the US successfully teleported a quantum state of light over more than 30 kilometers (about 18 miles) of fiber optic cable, even amid heavy internet traffic—a feat once thought impossible. While it won’t help you skip your commute or speed up streaming, transmitting quantum states through existing infrastructure marks a major

Study Shows 93% Effectiveness for Experimental Sleep Apnea Treatment

Healthcare, Medicine /

Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing condition in which the airway collapses or becomes blocked, posing serious health risks. A promising new treatment, however, could significantly improve outcomes for the millions of people affected globally. According to a study conducted by researchers at Flinders University in Australia, the new technique builds on hypoglossal nerve

Argentinian Mechanic’s Idea could Save Thousands in Childbirth

Healthcare, Medicine /

An idea developed outside labs and academia has become a standout innovation in modern obstetrics. The Odón Device originated from Argentinian mechanic Jorge Odón, who noticed a similarity between a household trick—removing a cork from a bottle with a plastic bag—and a complex childbirth challenge. From Home Experiments to Medical Recognition Without medical training, Odón

Brain-Inspired AI Supports Stable Task Switching for Soft Robotic Arms

Robotics, Tech /

Researchers have created an AI-based control system that allows soft robotic arms to learn a broad range of movements and tasks a single time, then adapt in real time to new conditions without retraining or loss of performance. This advance pushes soft robotics toward human-like flexibility in real-world uses—such as assistive and rehabilitation robotics, wearable

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Finishes its First Autonomous, AI-Directed Drive

Artificial Intelligence, Astronomy, Tech /

NASA’s Perseverance rover has been exploring Mars for almost five years, yet the agency continues to push its capabilities. Recently, NASA announced that Perseverance completed its first drive planned entirely by artificial intelligence. For the demo, NASA used vision-language models (VLMs) to set rover waypoints, a task normally done by humans. The demo ran from

She Moves Naturally, Expresses Emotion, Maintains Eye Contact, and Feels Warm—Yet She’s a Robot

Applied Science, Robotics /

At this point in the robotics race, it’s fair to say some of us are feeling a bit of humanoid fatigue. We’ve all seen the clips of robots fumbling plates from dishwashers, taking ages to open a fridge, and struggling—sometimes hilariously—to cook or play soccer. That said, Shanghai-based robotics startup DroidUp (also called Zhuoyide) appears
