Watch: Skillful Robotic Gripper Uses Measuring Tape As Fingers

Robotics, Science /

Steel measuring tape is a fascinating material: it can maintain its shape when extended, yet it’s flexible enough to bend under pressure. Researchers have harnessed this unique combination of stiffness and flexibility to create an innovative new robotic gripper, ideal for handling delicate objects. The Birth of GRIP-tape Associate Professor Nick Gravish and his team […]

Breakthrough Imaging Technique Sheds Light on Nanoscale Photocatalysis

Chemistry /

Photocatalysis—the process by which light drives chemical reactions—has long been hailed as a promising route toward clean energy and environmental remediation. Yet, the fine details of how these reactions unfold at the microscopic level, particularly at the interface between a solid catalyst and a liquid electrolyte, have remained elusive—until now. In a groundbreaking study published

A Quantum Twist: Scientists Create “Hot” Schrödinger’s Cat States

Physics, Quantum Physics /

Quantum physics has long required extreme precision and ultra-cold temperatures to observe its most mind-bending phenomena. But a breakthrough from researchers in Innsbruck, Austria, challenges that assumption—revealing that quantum states can persist even in warmer, less controlled environments. In a new study published in Science Advances, a team from the University of Innsbruck and the

Watch: Crafty Robot Uses Wings to Hop Where Others Fear to Tread

Robotics, Science /

Flying robots have several advantages over ground-based ones, but they typically consume a lot of energy. A new experimental robot offers a clever solution: instead of walking or flying traditionally, it uses a wing-assisted hopping mechanism. Lightweight and Compact, Yet Innovative Developed by researchers at MIT, the University of Hong Kong, and City University of

Colossal Biosciences Claims First De-Extinction with “Return” of the Dire Wolf

Biology /

In a scientific breakthrough that feels ripped from the pages of Jurassic Park or Game of Thrones, Colossal Biosciences, the world’s only de-extinction company, has announced the birth of three wolf pups that it claims mark the world’s first successful de-extinction event. The company says these pups, modeled after the long-extinct dire wolf, bring a

We Were Wrong About Uranus: New Study Solves Long-Standing Mysteries

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

Recent observations have corrected a long-held misconception regarding the length of a day on Uranus. New, more accurate measurements of the planet’s rotation have revealed that a full day on Uranus lasts 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds. This is 28 seconds longer than previously estimated, based on data gathered by Voyager 2 during
