Researchers in Australia are developing smart glasses for blind people using "acoustic touch" to turn images into sounds. The research suggests that wearable spatial audio technology could help those who are blind or have significantly…

We know that poor indoor air quality can make us sick, but did you know that it may affect your work creativity? That’s what scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore found. In collaboration with the global air filter…

Half of all marriages will likely fail. The statistics are miserable - and many are seriously searching for ways to avoid that chance of failure. Ronald Rogge, associate professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, has been…

Many materials in conventional semiconductor devices come from environmentally damaging extraction processes, are high-risk pollutants, and/or pose severe human health hazards. At the same time, the ever-growing demand for speed, large…

North Carolina State University researchers have identified a welding technique to join composite metal foam (CMF) components without impairing the properties that make CMF desirable. CMFs are ideal for a wide array of applications because…

Most of the headlines regarding Artificial intelligence (AI) extol its virtues. Here's a different slant. While many claim that AI is poised to overshadow the human mind, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, say it lacks…

As part of the 2023 Holidays at the White House, First Lady Jill Biden debuted the first-ever White House Advent Calendar and is celebrating with this new image from the JWST. In it, supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) gleams against the…

When you look up at a dark sky and see clouds of unique shapes or struggle to peer through the dense, hazy fog, it’s due to ‘Mie scattering’ and happens as light interacts with particles of a specific size. Researchers from Osaka…

Trying to pick up faint microscopic signals is no easy task.  As a result, researchers find it difficult to catch small things happening in cells or other materials. Boston University is creating advanced techniques to make microscopes…

Researchers from Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute created tiny biological robots called Anthrobots from human tracheal cells. In a lab dish, the robots move across a surface and encourage the growth of neurons across…
