A numerical model helps scientists understand how particularities of different terrains affect the trajectory and behavior of dung beetles.
Technology
Quantum bits that exist in two time dimensions
Extra time dimensions provide scientists with a new way to think about phases of matter for more stable qubits and robust quantum computers.
Microrobots that conquer all terrains
Microrobots dubbed “microwalkers” can both swim and walk, allowing them to transverse challenging biological environments.
Machine learning helps create polymer electrolyte for batteries
Automated molecule design through machine learning helps scientists identify and synthesize a new polymer electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries.
A smart pillowcase that tracks sleep
A new smart pillowcase not only tracks sleep but is powered by head movement, providing a more accurate means of monitoring sleep cycles.
Composite materials illuminated with machine learning
Researchers take a different approach to machine learning to uncover the physics of optics in composite materials.
Machine learning by intuition
