A new study suggests humans can sense hidden objects without touching them, by detecting faint movements in sand. This ...

Invasive species, pathogens, and parasites can have serious ecological consequences for aquatic ecosystems and also put human health and economies at risk. Early detection of these biological threats ...

Another chilly evening in Western Europe, as Elliot Williams is joined this week by Jenny List to chew the fat over the ...

The NIMA Gluten Sensor is the first handheld device designed to detect gluten in food for people with celiac disease who rely on a gluten-free diet. Anna Gragert (she/her/hers) was previously the ...

A gelatin memristor with 16 stable conductance states mimics biological pain perception, rating intensity, sensitizing after injury, and self-healing while directly controlling mouse muscle response. ...

The nervous system does an astonishing job of tracking sensory information, and does so using signals that would drive many computer scientists insane: a noisy stream of activity spikes that may be ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Showcasing its groundbreaking work in autonomous vehicles, Mississippi State University hosted the 7th International Symposium on Advanced Vehicle Technology earlier this month.

The human eye can only detect wavelengths in the visible light range, but a new imaging system will let us "see" infrared radiation using smartphones. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD — U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC) researchers have developed a portable system to detect trace amounts of various ...

Because of different types of sensory nerve endings in our fingertips, we are amazingly good at sensing hidden objects in granular materials like sand. Fingers moving over sand cause perturbations in ...

Scientists develop a 3D lattice iontronic sensor to decode sophisticated tactile interactions by linearizing both electrical responses and mechanical behaviors The rapid development of humanoid robots ...

Astronomers have detected the first-ever "radio signal" coming from the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, right as it passed the halfway mark on its oneway trip through the solar system. And while this may ...
