Three years ago, the National Science Foundation provided a pair of University of Illinois professors with a grant to develop technology called…
Researchers have developed new software that makes it possible to use low-cost, thermal cameras attached to mobile phones to track how fast a person is…
For the first time, an international team led by engineers at Caltech has developed a computer chip with nanoscale optical quantum memory.
“It's a bit like Legos,” said Ian Wong, an assistant professor in Brown's School of Engineering and co-author of the research. “We can attach polymers together…
Everyone will be familiar with playing a video on their computer that keeps pausing every few seconds and just won’t buffer properly. These stops and starts…
Reproducing experiments and results is a cornerstone of science, but researchers acknowledge that actually achieving this feat can be tricky. Specific…
Current smartwatches can recognise a limited number of particular activities, including yoga and running, but these are programmed in advance.
Industry 4.0 promises improved methods of production and business models through new technologies, including automation, augmented reality and the Internet of…
Filtering information for search engines, acting as an opponent during a board game or recognizing images: Artificial intelligence has far outpaced human…
Elijah Thimsen, assistant professor of energy, environmental & chemical engineering in the School of Engineering & Applied Science, and his collaborators have…
Researchers at BYU are the first to 3D-print a viable microfluidic device small enough to be effective at a scale much less than 100 micrometers. Microfluidic…
