TELESAR V, a telexistence robot system being researched at Keio University, aims to free people from time and space constraints by using remotely
The Japanese supercomputer K broke its own record this week by hitting 10 quadrillion calculations per second (10.51 petaflops), exceeding its previous
The company has released footage of its most advanced biped robot walking and doing push-ups
(PhysOrg.com) -- Yet another flexible e-paper display? No. Something special. This concept e-reader has no ho-hum signs of boring repetition. The concept e-reader was shown at last month’s FPD International in Japan, the big event focused on flat panel displays, which took place from October 26 to October 28. In fact, it was a top attraction. The new device from Taiwan-based AU Optronics (AUO) does not need an external power supply.
The Advanced Virtuality Lab (AVL) at the Interdisciplinary Center Israel, is developing a system for controlling a virtual or physical body using only the
An extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) microscope for creating the next generation of chips has been created by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s
A laser powerful enough to tear apart the fabric of space is planned as part of a new scientific project that aims to answer some of the most fundamental
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) researchers have developed fully functional flexible non-volatile resistive random access memory
(PhysOrg.com) -- A research project at Microsoft Research Cambridge has brought forth a prototype called Holodesk, which lets you manipulate virtual objects with your hand. You literally "get your hands on" the virtual display. According to the official description from its creators, there is at work a "novel real-time algorithm for representing hands and other physical objects" allowing physically realistic interaction between real and virtual 3-D objects.
The ability to see through walls is no longer the stuff of science fiction, thanks to new radar technology. Researchers have built a system that can see through walls from some distance away, giving an instantaneous picture of the activity on the other side.
Robots that learn from experience and can solve novel problems -- just like humans -- sound like science fiction.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Engineers and physicists at Harvard have managed to capture light in tiny diamond pillars embedded in silver, releasing a stream of single photons at a controllable rate.
First it was chess. Then it was Jeopardy. Now computers are at it again, but this time they are trying to automate the scientific process itself.
Cray Inc. has signed a $97 million contract to upgrade the Cray XT5 Jaguar supercomputer located at the Department of Energy
