In many countries, nodding is a communicative signal that means approval, and head shaking is a gesture of denial. Hokkaido University Associate...
UW engineers have developed the first 3-D printed plastic objects that can connect to other devices via WiFi without using any electronics. The 3-D printed attachment above can sense how much laundry soap is being used -- and automatically...
Physicists at MIT and Harvard University have demonstrated a new way to manipulate quantum bits of matter. The researchers report using a system of finely tuned lasers to first trap and then tweak the interactions of 51 individual atoms,...
Upon execution of Grover's quantum algorithm, the terbium single-molecule transistor reads out unsorted databases.

Scrapbooks or social networks are collections of mostly unsorted data. The search for single elements in very large data volumes, i.e. for the needle...
Visualization of vortices in a drop of silicone oil sitting on a warm bath. The temperature difference generates a recirculating flow that is visualized by shining a green laser light on fluorescent particles that are added as passive tracers...

A blue LED shines on a vial containing heavy water, a pharmaceutical compound, and a light-activated catalyst. The new photocatalytic approach from Princeton's David MacMillan turns a multi-month process into a one-day step, speeding the arrival of new drugs...
Two lines captured with eye-tracking technology show that twins will follow a similar pattern with their eyes when shown the same image.

Griffith's Professor Geoff Pryde, who led the project, says that such processes could be simulated using a "quantum hard drive," much smaller than the memory required for...
