New AI Technology Astonishingly Excels at ‘Understanding’ Human Thoughts

Artificial Intelligence, Tech / Eduardo Paulo

A novel AI model is showing an exceptional capacity to predict human behavior by analyzing visual and contextual information in real time. Instead of merely responding to motion, it infers what individuals are likely to do next. Researchers at Texas A&M University’s College of Engineering, in collaboration with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and […]

AI-Enabled Robotic Hands Become More Dexterous by Imitating Human Hands

Applied Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics / Jorge Paka

Entering ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab feels like stepping into a blend of a children’s playroom, a cutting-edge workshop, and a curiosity cabinet. Researchers scatter workbenches with foam blocks, plush toys—including a soft squid—and other colorful objects to teach robots dexterous skills. Sensors, cables, and measuring instruments cover nearly every surface. Meanwhile, skeletal fingers displayed

Gold Nanoclusters May Boost the Power of Quantum Computers

Nanotechnology, Quantum Technology, Tech / Valeriano Ndeyi

Researchers discovered that gold “super atoms” can act much like the atoms used in advanced quantum systems—except they’re significantly easier to scale up. These miniature clusters can be tailored at the molecular scale, providing a flexible and robust platform for future quantum technologies. Gold Clusters as Scalable Quantum Building Blocks Quantum technologies—from computing to sensing—rely

The Sensor Uses Sound Waves to Detect Objects at Extremely Small Scales

Material & Energy, Nanotechnology / Valeriano Ndeyi

Every camera relies on a sensor, whether it’s an array of light-sensitive pixels or a strip of 35mm film. But what happens when you need to photograph something so tiny that the sensor itself must shrink, causing its performance to plummet? Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a sensing technology that can detect objects as

New Window Insulation Blocks heat, not your View

Material & Energy, Renewable Energy / Jorge Paka

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new window-insulating material that could boost building energy efficiency worldwide—and it works much like a high-tech version of Bubble Wrap. The material, known as the Mesoporous Optically Clear Heat Insulator (MOCHI), is produced as large panels or thin films that can be placed on the

NASA has Lost Contact with the MAVEN Spacecraft after 11 years Orbiting Mars

Aerospace, Space & Environment / Ana Manuel

NASA said the outage occurred as MAVEN passed behind Mars, and unexpectedly, it failed to reconnect once back in view of Earth. The most recent telemetry showed all systems operating normally, leaving the cause of the issue unclear for now. MAVEN—short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution—was launched in 2013 and began orbiting Mars in
