Improving Word Intelligibility of Bone-Conducted Speech Using Bone-Conduction Headphones

“Researchers compensated the attenuation of higher-frequency components of bone-conducted speech signals during their transmission Bone-conduction (BC) headphones degrade the word intelligibility of BC speech, especially under noisy conditions. Researchers recently explored two methods - first and higher-order high-frequency emphasis - for improving …

LHCb tightens precision on key measurements of matter–antimatter asymmetry

“The LHCb collaboration’s new measurements of matter–antimatter asymmetry in decays of beauty particles are the most precise yet of their kind. The Big Bang is thought to have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter, yet the Universe …

Low-cost USB Sniffer (LS/FS/HS) with Wireshark interface

“This sniffer can be used standalone from a command line or as a plugin for Wireshark with direct control from the UI. The sniffer is based around Cypress CY7C68013A MCU, Lattice LCMXO2 FPGA, and Microchip USB3343 USB PHY. Prices and …

Metamaterials with built-in frustration have mechanical memory

“Researchers from the UvA-Institute of Physics and ENS de Lyon have discovered how to design materials that necessarily have a point or line where the material doesn’t deform under stress, and that even remember how they have been poked …

MIT engineers develop a soft, printable, metal-free electrode

“A new Jell-O-like material could replace metals as electrical interfaces for pacemakers, cochlear implants, and other electronic implants. Do an image search for “electronic implants,” and you’ll draw up a wide assortment of devices, from traditional pacemakers and cochlear …

Mori3: A Polygon Shapeshifting Robot for Space Travel

“Jamie Paik and her team of researchers at EPFL’s School of Engineering have created an origami-like robot that can change shape, move around and interact with objects and people. By combining inspiration from the digital world of polygon meshing …

NASA Cassini Data Reveals Building Block for Life in Enceladus’ Ocean

“Phosphorus, a key chemical element for many biological processes, has been found in icy grains emitted by the small moon and is likely abundant in its subsurface ocean. Using data collected by NASA’s Cassini mission, an international team of …

NASA’s Curiosity Captures Martian Morning, Afternoon in New ‘Postcard’

“Lighting from two times of day was combined for a stunning view of terrain that the rover is leaving behind. After completing a major software update in April, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover took a last look at “Marker Band …
