Researchers have found a way to speed up components that control light polarization in optical communication and computing. Polarization is a property of light that can carry additional information along with the primary signal, enabling […]

A Seoul National University College of Engineering research team, led by Professor Joo Hwan Oh of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, in collaboration with Dr. Myung Hwan Bae of the Korea Research Institute of Standards […]

Researchers at the Universities of Konstanz and Stuttgart have demonstrated a new approach to computation: a computer made from a few hundred microscopic particles oscillating in a liquid. Instead of processing information through carefully fabricated […]

Shiso, a ring-necked parakeet, can’t speak English, but she knows how to make her preferences known. She has screaming fights with the dogs and cats in her household, snorts for attention and food, and perches […]

A new study from the University of Toronto finds that people perceive their bodies as larger in virtual reality than in the physical world—and that effect doesn’t end when the headset comes off.This post was […]

Inspired by the cracked, water-trapping skin of elephants, Penn researchers have developed a low-cost cement tile that cools buildings by capturing and slowly evaporating water—turning a structural flaw into a climate solution.This post was originally […]

Researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) presented two papers at SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles. One paper introduces new methods for texturing highly deformable surfaces, and the other proposes a faster, more […]

The same class of chemical additive that makes plastic wrap pliable and vinyl flooring soft could be the key to unlocking the next generation of wearable displays. Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School […]

Along the vast ocean floor lives a species of glass sponge known as Venus’ flower basket. Though delicate-looking, its exterior belies an exceptionally strong, lightweight skeleton that has intrigued scientists for the past 185 years.This […]

In the current issue of the journal Nature Methods, siibra is introduced as a software suite that integrates data from different multimodal sources into a comprehensive atlas of the human brain and makes the data […]
