A Widespread Lack of a Key Nutrient Could be Quietly Affecting Young Brains

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Scientists have long understood that physical health conditions can influence the brain. Obesity, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance strain the body’s systems, accelerating cognitive decline and raising Alzheimer’s risk. A new study from Arizona State University and collaborating institutions suggests these effects may begin far earlier than previously thought. Researchers found that young adults […]

CMU Researchers Caution that Common AI Models Are Not Yet Reliable for Robot Use

Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Tech /

Research from King’s College London and Carnegie Mellon University indicates that robots driven by popular AI models are not yet safe for general-purpose, real-world applications. For the first time, the study examined how robots using large language models (LLMs) respond when given access to personal data, such as a person’s gender, nationality, or religion. The

A Smart Sensor Tag Safeguards Delicate Products

Materials Science, Science /

Researchers at Empa, EPFL, and CSEM have created an eco-friendly smart sensing tag that tracks temperature and humidity in real time and can indicate when a temperature limit has been crossed. It could eventually be used to monitor sensitive goods like pharmaceuticals or food. The tag is fully biodegradable. Every day, vast quantities of sensitive

Chinese Robot Breaks 106 km World Record in Tech race

Applied Science, Robotics /

Once the stuff of science fiction, long-distance walking robots are now making headlines. The humanoid robot A2, created by Chinese company AgiBot, walked 106.286 km over three days, earning a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous walk by a bipedal robot. The feat showcases impressive technological progress but also raises questions about autonomy, transparency,

In Japan, a New Appliance that Washes People has Hit the Market

Applied Science, Robotics /

People stretch out inside the pod, shut the lid, and the machine washes them like laundry—minus the spinning—while music plays in the background. A prototype of the machine, dubbed the “human washer of the future,” drew long queues at the six-month World Expo in Osaka, which concluded in October after attracting more than 27 million

China Warns Humanoid Robot Buzz could Spark a Bubble

Applied Science, Robotics /

Over 150 Chinese companies are developing humanoid robots, but a Beijing official has warned that the rapidly growing industry risks forming a market bubble. Strong government support and robust supply chains are helping firms advance AI-powered robots for everyday tasks, yet overcapacity is a concern as production expands faster than actual demand, according to Goldman

Meteorite Samples Are Time Capsules of The Early Solar System

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Space & Environment /

When a meteor flashes through the sky, it’s more than a striking sight—it’s nature delivering a time capsule to Earth. Inside are clues to the solar system’s earliest days and the processes that shaped planets, including our own. In a recent Space Science Reviews paper—soon to be included as a chapter in an upcoming textbook—Lawrence
