A study at UCR's Bourns College of Engineering relied on 60 queries sent to both entities. They focused on dementia, given that six million Americans are impacted by Alzheimer's disease or a related condition. Half of the queries submitted…

NASA lost contact with Voyager 2 on July 21st after flight commanders sent an order that tilted the probe's antenna away from Earth, making it impossible to send and receive commands and data. Mission control tilted the antenna a mere 2%.…

Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices can cause inefficient performance. Using embedded sensors to monitor heat flow can help alter device behavior or designs to improve efficiency. For the first time, researchers exploited a…

There's a barrier preventing truly elastic electronic systems needed for advanced human-machine interfaces, artificial skin, smart health care, and more. A Penn State-led research team found a way to stretch around it. Fully elastic…

Although scuba and snorkeling enthusiasts dive with smartwatches that can go to depths of over 100 feet, accurately locating mobile devices underwater is a real challenge. Researchers at the University of Washington have developed the first…

Sony Electronics just announced that its DSC-HX99 RNV kit, a Retinal Projection Camera Kit, is now available. The kit features Sony's DSC-HX99 compact camera and QD Laser's RETISSA NEOVIEWER, which uses laser retinal projection technology.…

Two new papers published by the Cockrell School of Engineering’s Chandra Family of Electrical and Computer Engineering provide blueprints for improvements in semiconductor technology and building blocks for the next generation of computers…

By the end of the year, 500 Whole Foods stores will implement palm recognition technology, eliminating the need for your credit cards and phones to pay for your groceries. The palm recognition service, dubbed Amazon One, will be used for…

Researchers led by Nagoya University in Japan successfully applied nanosheet technology to create a dielectric capacitor. This capacitor features the highest energy storage density ever recorded, as well as quick charging time, high output,…

The Federal Trade Commission (F.T.C.) opened an investigation into OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT. The agency sent a 20-page letter asking questions, including how the start-up trains its A.I. models and treats personal data.…

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have synthesized a thin film of a unique topological semimetal material with the potential to generate more computing power and memory storage using less energy. Their work is published…

According to fundamental physics, the properties of mass—weight, inertia, and gravitation—always remain the same relative to each other. If this is not true, Einstein's theory of relativity would be debunked. Now, however, quantum theory…

Microchips must become smaller, faster, and energy efficient to keep pace with the ever-larger and more complex data sets to store, search, and analyze. Ferroelectric field effect transistors (FE-FETs) are a potential solution. FE-FETs…

There may be many more Earth-like exoplanets with liquid water than we thought, potentially increasing the chance of finding life. Dr. Lujendra Ojha of Rutgers University claims that their work shows water can be found in places previously…

We all watched in horror when the residential apartment building collapsed in Florida two years ago. This case involved problems with how the concrete was cast, rendering it permeable to water and the corrosion of much of its steel…
