This month scientists published rare footage of one of the Arctic's most elusive sharks. The findings demonstrate that, even with many technological advances in recent years, it remains a challenging task to document marine life up close.
But MIT computer...
The schematic at left shows the design for an experimental transistor made of a semiconductor called beta gallium oxide, which could bring new ultra-efficient switches for applications such as the power grid, military ships and aircraft. At right is...

Drastic advances in research of artificial intelligence have led to a wide range of fascinating developments in this area over the last decade. Autonomously...
A hair-sized probe that can measure key indicators of tissue damage deep in the lung has been developed by scientists.
The new technology could pave the way for accurate monitoring of tissue in areas where existing technologies cannot reach.
Experts say the probe...
The exosuit’s soft textiles strategically position the actuating cables that assist with the ankle motion at the back of the lower legs, and, through additional straps, transfers energy produced at the ankle to the front of the hip to...
Etched pillars define the positions of quantum dots (red puddles) arranged in an hexagonal lattice. When the spacing between the quantum dots is sufficiently small, electrons can move between them.

In a scientific first, Columbia neuroengineers have created a system that translates thought into intelligible, recognizable speech. By monitoring someone's brain activity, the technology can reconstruct the words a person hears with unprecedented clarity. This breakthrough, which harnesses the...
Iowa State University plant scientist Patrick Schnable quickly described how he measured the time it takes for two kinds of corn plants to move water from their roots, to their lower leaves and then to their upper leaves.
This was...
