“To get drones to fly around complicated obstacles in the dark by themselves, University of Cincinnati researchers are turning to the pros. Bats have evolved to use sound and echolocation to navigate and find food. Their sonar is so keen …
“By introducing impurities to a material, researchers can control the speed and frequency of phonons, potentially leading to more energy-efficient devices. The vibrational motion of an atom in a crystal propagates to neighboring atoms, which leads to wavelike propagation of …
“A computer algorithm equipped with a form of artificial curiosity can learn to solve tricky problems even when it isn’t immediately clear what actions might help it reach this goal. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, developed an …
“Progress in artificial intelligence causes some people to worry that software will take jobs such as driving trucks away from humans. Now leading researchers are finding that they can make software that can learn to do one of the trickiest …
“A team of researchers with members from the University of California and Rice University has found a way to get a flat transistor to defy theoretical limitations on Field Effect Transistors (FETs). In their paper published in the journal Nature …
