Robots and Rights: Confucianism Offers Alternative May 25, 2023
As robots assume more roles in the world, a new analysis reviewed research on robot rights, concluding that granting rights to robots is a bad idea. Instead, the article looks to Confucianism to offer an alternative.
Making the structure of 'fire ice' with nanoparticles May 25, 2023
Cage structures made with nanoparticles could be a route toward making organized nanostructures with mixed materials, and researchers have shown how to achieve this through computer simulations.
The metaverse can lead to better science May 25, 2023
One researcher says we should look beyond the hype to see how virtual reality can make scientists more effective. But to realize the benefits, researchers must also plan well and avoid potential pitfalls.
Medical 'microrobots' could one day treat bladder disease, other human illnesses May 24, 2023
Engineers have designed a new class of 'microrobots' several times smaller than the width of a human hair that may be able to treat human illnesses like interstitial cystitis -- a painful bladder disease that affects millions of Americans.
A better way to match 3D volumes May 24, 2023
Researchers developed an algorithm that can align two 3D shapes by mapping their volumes, which is more effective than other methods that align shapes by only mapping their surfaces.
Researchers build bee robot that can twist May 23, 2023
A robotic bee that can fly fully in all directions has been developed. With four wings made out of carbon fiber and mylar as well as four light-weight actuators to control each wing, the Bee++ prototype is the first to fly stably in all directions. That includes the tricky twisting motion known as yaw, with […]
Stretching metals at the atomic level allows researchers to create important materials for quantum, electronic, and spintronic applications May 22, 2023
A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team has developed a first-of-its-kind breakthrough method that makes it easier to create high-quality metal oxide films that are important for various next generation applications such as quantum computing and microelectronics.
Smart material prototype challenges Newton's laws of motion May 18, 2023
Engineers have developed a prototype metamaterial that uses electrical signals to control both the direction and intensity of energy waves passing through a solid material. Potential applications of this innovative design include military and commercial uses, such as controlling radar waves by directing them to scan a specific area for objects or managing vibration created […]
Curved spacetime in a quantum simulator May 17, 2023
The connection between quantum physics and the theory of relativity is extremely hard to study. But now, scientists have set up a model system, which can help: Quantum particles can be tuned in such a way that the results can be translated into information about other systems, which are much harder to observe. This kind […]
Milk reaction inspires new way to make highly conductive gel films May 11, 2023
A research team has developed what they call a 'dip-and-peel' strategy for simple and rapid fabrication of two-dimensional ionogel membranes. By dipping sustainable biomass materials in certain solvents, molecules naturally respond by arranging themselves into functional thin films at the edge of the material that can easily be removed using nothing more than a simple […]
