Jetson Founder Tomasz Patan is clearly getting very comfortable with the Jetson One eVTOL’s flight control system … Watch him wrench the controls around to show off how sharply – and safely – this thing can handle tight turns in flight.

Multicopter drones were revolutionary little gadgets when they started to appear on the scene for a number of reasons, but one was their highly automated fly-by-wire control systems. No human could manually control motor speeds on upwards of four rotors simultaneously, but a sensor-equipped flight control system certainly could – hence, drones like the DJI Phantom were able to automatically lift off and land, maintain altitude if required, and self-balance against wind gusts to hover in place, while also responding quickly to a pilot’s commands.

Las empresas tecnológicas líderes colaboran en la interoperabilidad arquitectónica y simplifican el desarrollo de software en todo el ecosistema.

NVIDIA’s CEO has responded to the newly formed ‘x86’ alliance involving Intel and AMD, claiming that such a step is necessary.

While these findings, published in Physical Review Letters, did not lead to the observation of signals associated with these hypothetical dark matter particles, they established a new technique to search for axions using a tunable optical cavity.

Fluorescence microscopy is a powerful tool in biology, allowing researchers to visualize the intricate world of cells and tissues at a molecular level. While this technique has revolutionized our understanding of biological processes, imaging large and complex 3D structures, such as embryos or organoids, remains a challenge. This is especially true when studying intricate details beyond the optical resolution limit using structured illumination microscopy (SIM).

Researchers have discovered how the “edge of chaos” can help electronic chips overcome signal losses, making chips simpler and more efficient.

By using a metallic wire on a semi-stable material, this method allows for long metal lines to act like superconductors and amplify signals, potentially transforming chip design by eliminating the need for transistor amplifiers and reducing power usage.

Researchers have discovered that fungi, despite lacking brains, exhibit forms of intelligence such as memory, learning, and decision-making.

Through experiments, fungi demonstrated strategic growth patterns when exposed to different physical setups, suggesting a form of communication within their mycelial networks. This groundbreaking study reveals the complex and intelligent behaviors of fungi, challenging our understanding of cognition in simple organisms.

Scientists have found that a specific protein complex significantly influences brain connectivity and cognitive behaviors.

Their studies on mice revealed that disruptions in this complex affect synapse formation and lead to behavioral changes, such as increased anxiety and impaired social interactions, pointing toward new treatment possibilities for mental health conditions.
