Potential applications for on-body transmissions include securely sending information to door locks, glucose sensors or other wearable medical devices.Credit: Vikram Iyer, University of Washington Sending a password or secret code over airborne radio waves like WiFi or Bluetooth means anyone...
Credit: Michigan Technological University A new patent search tool developed by engineers at Michigan Technological University makes it easier to discover and track inactive patents. Many innovators and inventors feel they have squandered hours fruitlessly rifling through old patents on the...
Researchers have created a large, open source database to support the development of robot activities based on natural language input. The new KIT Motion-Language Dataset will help to unify and standardize research linking human motion and natural language, as...
Smartphones typically capture a limited portion of the full fingerprint using small sensors. Multiple partial fingerprints are captured for the same finger during enrollment. The figure shows a set of partial fingerprints (b) extracted from the full fingerprint (a). Credit:...
Credit:Virginia Tech. Mobile phones have increasingly become the repository for the details that drive our everyday lives. But Virginia Tech researchers have recently discovered that the same apps we regularly use on our phones to organize lunch dates, make convenient...
New device creates entangled photons that span the traditional telecommunications spectrum, making it appealing for multi-channel quantum communication and more powerful quantum computers.
