Albeit it exists: Unexpected new material has been quenched to ambient pressure

Scientists from the National University of Science and Technology MISIS together with colleagues from Germany and Sweden achieved a result that seemed impossible. The researchers managed to create at ultra-high pressures a new material that preserves the structure and properties…

NUS researchers discover unusual ‘quasiparticle’ in common 2D material

The new quasiparticle, named ‘polaronic trion’, enables significant tunability in the optoelectronic

Using Wi-Fi like sonar to measure speed and distance of indoor movement

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a technique for measuring speed and distance in indoor environments, which could be used to improve navigation technologies for robots, drones – or pedestrians trying to find their way around an airport.…

Researchers use machine learning to teach robots how to trek through unknown terrains

A team of Australian researchers has designed a reliable strategy for testing physical abilities of humanoid robots – robots that resemble the human body shape in their build and design. Using a blend of machine learning methods and algorithms, the…
