A Robotic Hand Employs Touch, Rather Than Vision, to Manipulate and Rotate Objects

Applied Science, Robotics, Science /

Scientists at the California’s University San Diego have developed a novel approach, inspired by human dexterity, to enable a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, eliminating the need for visual input. The team equipped a four-fingered robotic hand with 16 touch sensors on its palm and fingers. These low-cost, low-resolution touch sensors, each […]

Scientists Find the Key to Virgin Birth and Enable it in Female Flies

Biology, Genetics /

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by identifying the genetic cause of virgin birth in an unexpected species, the fruit fly ”Drosophila melanogaster”. Once this ability is activated in a female fruit fly, it can be inherited by successive generations. In this process, females can reproduce either sexually with the presence of males or through

Researcher Upends Basic Construction Rule

Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, Science /

Researcher upends basic construction rule. An Aston University researcher challenged a long-standing construction rule. For centuries, engineers have referred to a hanging chain as an analogy to explain the stability of masonry arches. According to Robert Hooke’s seventeenth-century theory, the shape of a hanging chain should mimic that of an upright rigid arch. Nevertheless, Aston
