Using Magnetic Fields, Soft Robots Can now Operate More Intelligently On Their Own

Engineering, Robotics /

Soft robots excel at flexing and handling delicate objects, allowing them to navigate tight or fragile environments to grow coral larvae in labs or inspect chemical plant piping. Yet it is still difficult to achieve true embodied intelligence in these robots, where sensing, actuation, and power all function together without external tethering. Magnetic Fields Boost

Automation and Smart, Data-Driven Tech are Transforming Construction’s Future

Automation, Robotics, Tech /

Atlas, CU Denver’s robotic dog, navigated the crawlspace of the Anythink Nature Library construction site in Thornton last month, its lights flashing as it worked its way through narrow, dim corridors. At the entrance, Associate Professor Moatassem Abdallah and seven students analyzed Atlas’s 360° footage and sensor data to guide the project’s next phases. The

Ultrasound Device Makes Clean Water from air in Minutes

Engineering, Mechanical /

MIT researchers discovered how to use sound wave vibrations to release water molecules from a storage medium, greatly accelerating the extraction of drinking water from air. Scientists worldwide are exploring a variety of materials—from specialized paints to spongy aerogels and substances with extremely high surface areas—to extract water from the air. Even in arid regions,

New Research Suggests Mars Stayed Habitable Longer than Once Thought

Satellites Tech, Space & Environment /

Scientists widely agree that Mars once had flowing water and a thicker atmosphere, conditions that would have made the planet habitable. But between about 4.2 and 3.7 billion years ago, its rivers, lakes, and global ocean vanished as the solar wind gradually eroded the atmosphere. Exactly how long Mars stayed habitable remains an open question.

AI Supports Employees’ Emotional Well-Being, But Is it Helpful or a Privacy Risk?

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

As AI tools like ChatGPT grow in popularity for personal therapy and emotional support, the risks—particularly for young users—have been widely reported. Less discussed is the use of generative AI by employers to monitor employees’ mental health and offer emotional support at work. Since the pandemic-driven shift to remote work, sectors from healthcare to HR

A new Study Says Popular Fitness Apps may Reduce User Motivation

Health & Fitness, Mental /

Seeing others’ lives on social media can hurt our self-esteem and satisfaction. It turns out that tracking our own calories or workouts through apps can have a similar downside. New research from UCL and Loughborough University suggests fitness apps may discourage rather than motivate users. The team examined close to 60,000 posts on X, noting

New AR Technology Can Transform Any Surface into a Keyboard

Tech, Virtual Reality /

Virtual keyboards are a frequent source of frustration for augmented reality (AR) users. The virtual surfaces are slow and error prone, and raising an arm to type on them can cause muscle strain known as “gorilla arm.” Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas have developed a novel AR interface that enhances virtual typing

The Challenges and Triumphs of Space Research

Astronomy, Space & Environment /

The microgravity encountered during spaceflight can threaten astronauts’ cardiovascular health. Finding effective ways to reduce these risks is difficult because countermeasures are typically evaluated under Earth’s gravity. But what if research could be conducted in microgravity conditions without having to leave the atmosphere? Texas A&M Researchers Test Microgravity in France Researchers from Texas A&M University
