| Will COVID-19 eventually become just a seasonal nuisance? Posted: 20 May 2021 02:42 PM PDT Within the next decade, the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 could become little more than a nuisance, causing no more than common cold-like coughs and sniffles. That possible future is predicted by mathematical models that incorporate lessons learned from the current pandemic on how our body's immunity changes over time. |
| Robotic 'Third Thumb' use can alter brain representation of the hand Posted: 20 May 2021 01:03 PM PDT Using a robotic 'Third Thumb' can impact how the hand is represented in the brain, finds a new study. |
| Brain stimulation evoking sense of touch improves control of robotic arm Posted: 20 May 2021 11:53 AM PDT The brain-computer interface user was able to transfer objects with a robotic arm at twice the speed of doing it without the tactile feedback. |
| Envisioning safer cities with AI Posted: 19 May 2021 09:08 AM PDT Researchers developed a suite of AI tools that can automatically identify characteristics of every buildings in a city and compute the risks they would face during a natural hazard event. The team tested the tools with simulated earthquakes in San Francisco; and hurricanes in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the Texas coast, and Atlantic City, New Jersey. The simulations generated realistic spatial distributions of buildings and identified some building characteristics with 100% accuracy. |
| Magnetically propelled cilia power climbing soft robots and microfluidic pumps Posted: 19 May 2021 09:06 AM PDT The rhythmic motions of hair-like cilia move liquids around cells or propel the cells themselves. In nature, cilia flap independently, and mimicking these movements with artificial materials requires complex mechanisms. Now, researchers have made artificial cilia that move in a wave-like fashion when a rotating magnetic field is applied, making them suitable for versatile, climbing soft robots and microfluidic devices. |
| Researchers use 'hole-y' math and machine learning to study cellular self-assembly Posted: 19 May 2021 08:48 AM PDT A new study shows that mathematical topology can reveal how human cells organize into complex spatial patterns, helping to categorize them by the formation of branched and clustered structures. |
| Rising energy demand for cooling Posted: 18 May 2021 05:54 PM PDT Climate-related temperature rises will further increase the cooling demand of buildings. A projection by researchers based on data from the NEST building and future climate scenarios for Switzerland shows that this increase in energy demand for cooling is likely to be substantial and could have a strong impact on our future - electrified - energy system. |
| Posted: 18 May 2021 08:48 AM PDT An artificial intelligence program accurately predicts the risk that lung nodules detected on screening CT will become cancerous, according to a new study. |
| Archaeologists teach computers to sort ancient pottery Posted: 17 May 2021 11:47 AM PDT A machine learns to categorize pottery comparable to expert archaeologists, matches designs among thousands of broken pieces. |
