A team of engineers at the University of Arizona has an ambitious concept for a motorless sailplane that may soar above the Martian surface. They want to go higher.
For the first time, the immersive AR experience surpasses the physical by offering the contextuality that consumers need. They can see the end outcome of the purchase decision before even making the decision — the experience of seeing the couch in the context of their space is transformed — giving them more confidence in their decision.
AR and its effects on consumer psychology
AR is not taking a share of the digital pie as we know it today, but instead increasing the overall size of the pie. There are 100 million consumers shopping with AR online and in stores today. This powerful technology fundamentally changes consumer psychology in three distinct ways: changing the ecommerce model from a push to a pull experience, giving consumers new confidence in their purchases; driving conversion by giving consumers visual context before buying; and giving consumers a new way of experiencing in-person shopping.

Living Human Skin for Robots.
From action heroes to villainous assassins, biohybrid robots made of both living and artificial materials have been at the center of many sci-fi fantasies, inspiring today’s robotic innovations. It’s still a long way until human-like robots walk among us in our daily lives, but scientists from Japan are bringing us one step closer by crafting living human skin on robots. The method developed not only gave a robotic finger skin-like texture, but also water-repellent and self-healing functions. “The finger looks slightly ‘sweaty’ straight out of the culture medium,” says first author Shoji Takeuchi, a professor at the University of Tokyo, Japan. “Since the finger is driven by an electric motor, it is also interesting to hear the clicking sounds of the motor in harmony with a finger that looks just like a real one.“
Looking “real” like a human is one of the top priorities for humanoid robots that are often tasked to interact with humans in healthcare and service industries. A human-like appearance can improve communication efficiency and evoke likability. While current silicone skin made for robots can mimic human appearance, it falls short when it comes to delicate textures like wrinkles and lacks skin-specific functions.
Artificial Intelligence that Acts More Human.
10. Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK)
Closing out our list of 10 best machine learning software is Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK), which is Microsoft’s AI solution that trains the machine with its deep learning algorithms. It can handle data from Python, C++, and much more.
CNTK is an open-source toolkit for commercial-grade distributed deep learning, and it allows users to easily combine popular model types like feed-forward DNNs, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs/LSTms).
NORTHRUP GRUMMAN’S CYGNUS cargo spacecraft conducted a successful reboost of the International Space Station on Saturday, June 25, 2022.
“This Cygnus mission is the first to feature this enhanced capability as a standard service for NASA.”
Cygnus had been docked to the ISS since February and now has departed, leaving on June 28.
Back in 2018, the ninth Cygnus resupply mission conducted a test of the reboost capability by conducting a short 50-second burn of its main engine, raising the Station’s altitude by 90 meters (295 feet).
The world’s first quantum computer integrated circuit has been demonstrated by researchers in Australia. This could enable accurate simulations of molecules, leading to the creation of new materials.
A mere day after the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson celebrations at CERN, the LHC will make the promise of a bright future for particle physics a reality, breaking a new energy world record of 13.6 trillion electron volts (13.6 TeV) in its first stable-beam collisions. These collisions will mark the start of data taking for the new physics season, called Run 3.
The launch of the LHC Run 3 will be streamed live on CERN’s social media channels and by high-quality Eurovision satellite link on 5 July starting at 4 p.m. Live commentary in five languages (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) from the CERN Control Centre will walk you through the operation stages that take proton beams from their injection into the LHC to collision points. A live Q&A session with experts from the accelerators and experiments will conclude the live stream.
For those on site at CERN, the live will be broadcast on the screens in the three CERN restaurants with English subtitles. If you need to take an afternoon coffee break, think 4 p.m!
Laser cutting techniques are usually powered by high energy beams, so hot that they melt most materials. Now scientists from McGill University have developed a gentler, more precise technique using low-power visible light.
