The computer-based system called "Rasar" for short uses artificial intelligence to analyze a database on chemical safety that contains the results of 800,000 tests on 10,000 different chemicals.
Researchers have developed a prototype of a robot that can express 'emotions' through changes in its outer surface. The robot's skin covers a grid of texture units whose shapes change based on the robot's feelings.
Thousands of miles of buried fiber optic cable in densely populated coastal regions of the USA may soon be inundated by rising seas, according to a new study.
Researchers in Iceland have successfully used an existing fibre-optic communications cable to assess seismic activity.
More than 1,000 square feet of plastic ultimately destined to pollute the ocean is getting a second lease on life in Rotterdam.
Researchers have demonstrated nanomaterial-based white-light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that exhibit a record luminous efficiency of 105 lumens per watt.
Nearly a decade after launching NASA’s Kepler telescope has netted 2,650 new confirmed worlds beyond our solar system. It now has paused its observations after on-board sensors detected it is running low on fuel.
A new image of star cluster RCW 38, an area strewn with young, hot, massive stars, is providing an unprecedented glimpse into a tumultuous region of space located 5,500 light-years from Earth.
A computer built to mimic the brain's neural networks produces similar results to that of the best brain-simulation supercomputer software currently used for neural-signaling research.
Test tube chemistry using synthetic DNA molecules can be utilized in complex computing tasks to exhibit artificial intelligence
Germany has set a new record for renewable power production during the first six months of 2018.
Miranda Wang has found a simple way to break down polyethylene and turn it into an essential ingredient for nylon, which otherwise uses petroleum.
Starbucks gives away over 1 billion straws with their iced drinks every year – but not anymore, thanks to their latest environmental initiative.
The Swedish Wind Power Association says they are on track to generate 18 terawatt-hours of electricity every year by the end of 2018, making it possible for the nation to reach its renewable energy goals 12 years early.
Exposure to "greenspace" reduces the risk of type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, premature death, preterm birth, stress, and high blood pressure, among other benefits.
