When the International Space Station is deorbited, what next? Here are 9 future space stations that will replace the ISS when the time comes.
The nerve cord controlling the prehensile arm of the octopus has been poorly described. Here the authors explore the segmental arrangement of the nervous tissue, which guides motor control in the octopus.
Scientists revealed that the flower-shaped geometry causes the field lines of an external magnetic field to concentrate in the centre of the device, resulting in a greatly intensified magnetic field.
With the U.S. significantly downsizing its foreign aid, a key question is whether China will exploit the opportunity and fill the void.
A rare find on the “China Net” provides an exclusive look into the future of Chinese offensive cyber operations. Meet “The Prototype”: a conceptual AI cyber offensive tool from China.
When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny sensors that detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more. Now, Northwestern University engineers have unveiled a new technology that creates precise movements to mimic these complex sensations.
The study, “Full freedom-of-motion actuators as advanced haptic interfaces,” is published in the journal Science.
While sitting on the skin, the compact, lightweight, wireless device applies force in any direction to generate a variety of sensations, including vibrations, stretching, pressure, sliding and twisting. The device can also combine sensations and operate fast or slowly to simulate a more nuanced, realistic sense of touch.
