Published Straightening teeth? AI can help



A new tool will help orthodontists correctly fit braces onto teeth. Using artificial intelligence and virtual patients, the tool predicts how teeth will move, so as to ensure that braces are neither too loose nor too tight.
Published Staying in the loop: How superconductors are helping computers 'remember'



To advance neuromorphic computing, some researchers are looking at analog improvements -- advancing not just software, but hardware too. Research shows a promising new way to store and transmit information using disordered superconducting loops.
Published Spiral wrappers switch nanotubes from conductors to semiconductors and back



By wrapping a carbon nanotube with a ribbon-like polymer, researchers were able to create nanotubes that conduct electricity when struck with low-energy light that our eyes cannot see. In the future, the approach could make it possible to optimize semiconductors for applications ranging from night vision to new forms of computing.
Published Have metalenses expanded their reach into the ultraviolet region?



A team achieves successful mass production of metalenses designed for application in the ultraviolet region.
Published How do neural networks learn? A mathematical formula explains how they detect relevant patterns



Neural networks have been powering breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, including the large language models that are now being used in a wide range of applications, from finance, to human resources to healthcare. But these networks remain a black box whose inner workings engineers and scientists struggle to understand. Now, a team has given neural networks the equivalent of an X-ray to uncover how they actually learn.
Published Mathematicians use AI to identify emerging COVID-19 variants



Scientists have developed an AI framework that can identify and track new and concerning COVID-19 variants and could help with other infections in the future.
Published Giving particle detectors a boost



Researchers have tested the performance of a new device that boosts particle signals.
Published GPS nanoparticle platform precisely delivers therapeutic payload to cancer cells



A newly developed 'GPS nanoparticle' injected intravenously can home in on cancer cells to deliver a genetic punch to the protein implicated in tumor growth and spread, according to researchers. They tested their approach in human cell lines and in mice to effectively knock down a cancer-causing gene, reporting that the technique may potentially offer a more precise and effective treatment for notoriously hard-to-treat basal-like breast cancers.
Published Accessibility toolkit for game engine Unity



New work makes it easier for game developers to implement game aids for people with disabilities. The toolkit focuses on players with visual impairments.
Published Design rules and synthesis of quantum memory candidates



In the quest to develop quantum computers and networks, there are many components that are fundamentally different than those used today. Like a modern computer, each of these components has different constraints. However, it is currently unclear what materials can be used to construct those components for the transmission and storage of quantum information.
Published Breakthrough in nanostructure technology for real-time color display



New groundbreaking technology enables the real-time display of colors and shapes through changes in nanostructures.
Published Combined microscopy technique catches light-driven polymers in the act



Researchers have used tip-scan high-speed atomic force microscopy combined with an optical microscope to observe light-induced deformation of azo-polymer films. The process could be followed in real time, and the film patterns were found to change with the polarization of the light source. The observations will contribute to the use of azo-polymers in applications such as optical data storage, and the approach is expected to be useful across materials science and physical chemistry.
Published The role of machine learning and computer vision in Imageomics



A new field promises to usher in a new era of using machine learning and computer vision to tackle small and large-scale questions about the biology of organisms around the globe.
Published Method rapidly verifies that a robot will avoid collisions



A new safety-check technique can prove with 100 percent accuracy that a planned robot motion will not result in a collision. The method can generate a proof in seconds and does so in a way that can be easily verified by a human.
Published Making quantum bits fly



Physicists are developing a method that could enable the stable exchange of information in quantum computers. In the leading role: photons that make quantum bits 'fly'.
Published 3D reflector microchips could speed development of 6G wireless



Researchers have developed a semiconductor chip that will enable ever-smaller devices to operate at the higher frequencies needed for future 6G communication technology.
Published New type of nanoparticle makes vaccines more powerful



A type of nanoparticle called a metal organic framework (MOF) could be used to deliver vaccines and act as an adjuvant. Researchers find these particles provoke a strong immune response by activating the innate immune system through cell proteins called toll-like receptors.
Published AI can speed design of health software



Artificial intelligence helped clinicians to accelerate the design of diabetes prevention software, a new study finds.
Published Can you tell AI-generated people from real ones?



If you recently had trouble figuring out if an image of a person is real or generated through artificial intelligence (AI), you're not alone. A new study found that people had more difficulty than was expected distinguishing who is a real person and who is artificially generated.
Published Aluminum nanoparticles make tunable green catalysts



A nanotechnology pioneer has uncovered a transformative approach to harnessing the catalytic power of aluminum nanoparticles by annealing them in various gas atmospheres at high temperatures.
