It’s important that self-driving cars quickly detect other cars or pedestrians sharing the road. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have shown that they can significantly improve detection accuracy by helping the vehicle also recognize what it doesn’t see that is the empty space. Peiyun Hu, a Ph.D. student’s work enables a self-driving car’s perception systems […]
Jay Leno — a former host of US talk show The Tonight Show — joked that scientists “cured baldness … at least in mice”. Now, we may be able to cure baldness… in humans! Using stem cells that develop into skin-like structures in vitro (which means, “performed or taking place in a test tube, culture […]
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University at Buffalo have developed a technology called “Artificial Chemist,” which incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) and Robotics to perform chemical reactions to accelerate Research & Development (R&D) and manufacturing of commercially desirable materials. Artificial Chemist is a truly autonomous system that can intelligently navigate through the chemical […]
Just last year, John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino were awarded the Nobel peace prize in chemistry for the invention of the lithium-ion battery. Now, researchers are already exploring a cheaper, more easily produced alternative, the Sodium-ion battery. The sodium-ion battery has the potential to be especially useful in large-scale energy storage […]
In the midst of COVID-19, researchers have discovered interesting things about a certain bacteria. Researchers found that compared to people with chronic nasal and sinus inflammation, healthy people have more than 10x the amount of Lactobacillus in their noses. Lactobacillus is an anti-inflammatory bacteria that researchers believe may have adapted to the human nose. It […]
