[ad_1] It’s no exaggeration to say that extendable sensors could change the way soft robots work and feel. In fact, they will be able to try quite a lot. Cornell researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor that combines low-cost LEDs and dyes, resulting in a stretchable “skin” that detects deformations …

[ad_1] The European Space Agency (ESA) has formally adopted Ariel, the first mission dedicated to the study of the nature, formation and evolution of exoplanets. More than 50 institutes from 17 countries, including the University of Oxford, have worked over the past five years to develop the scientific objectives and …

[ad_1] Credit:N. Hanacek / NIST JILA researchers used a state-of-the-art atomic clock to narrow the search for elusive dark matter, an example of how continuous improvements in watches have value beyond timekeeping. Older atomic clocks operating at microwave frequencies have already searched for dark matter, but this is the first …

[ad_1] Long ago and throughout the universe, a huge explosion of gamma rays released more energy in half a second than the sun will produce during its 10 billion years of life. After examining the incredibly bright burst with optical, X-ray, near-infrared and radio wavelengths, an astrophysics team led by …

[ad_1] New epidemic diseases have an evolutionary advantage if they are of “intermediate” severity, the research shows. Scientists tested the theory that pathogens (pathogenic organisms) that inflict intermediate levels of damage on their host have the most evolutionary success. The study, led by the University of Exeter, Arizona State University …

[ad_2][ad_1] Wyoming is now home to a college-level blockchain center, another sign of the state’s deep investment in blockchain technology. The University of Wyoming (UW) announced the opening of its Center for Blockchain and Digital Innovation earlier last week. As noted by a UW press release, only a few other …

[ad_1] According to a University of Michigan study, a high-sugar diet reprograms the taste cells in fruit flies, blunting their sensitivity to sugar and leaving a “molecular memory” on their tongues. By examining fruit flies, researchers Monica Dus, Anoumid Vaziri and collaborators found that high-sugar diets completely remodeled the taste …

[ad_1] COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study by Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Ohio State University College of Medicine researchers finds that exercising the brain with “neurobics” before surgery may help prevent post-operative delirium. . Essentially, your brain can be prepared for surgery, just like the body can, …
