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...
Rutgers engineers have invented a "4D printing" method for a smart gel that could lead to the development of "living" structures in human organs and tissues, soft robots and targeted drug delivery. The 4D printing approach here involves printing a...
This graphic depicts the operation of a new portable crime-scene forensics technology designed to take precise, high-resolution 3-D images of shoeprints and tire-tread marks. The technology works by encoding data in LED light that is projected onto the snow...

Researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia have demonstrated for the first time a working rechargeable "proton battery" that could re-wire how we power our homes, vehicles and devices. The rechargeable battery is environmentally friendly, and has the potential, with further development,...
"Learning from this model, we can understand what's really going on in these superconductors, and what one should do to make higher-temperature superconductors, approaching hopefully room temperature," says Martin Zwierlein, professor of physics and principal investigator in MIT's Research...
Stanford scientists have designed a copper catalyst that produces ethanol from carbon dioxide and water. Credit: Mark Shwartz/Stanford University Most cars and trucks in the United States run on a blend of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol, a renewable...
