Engineers developed a telerobotic system to help surgeons remotely treat patients experiencing stroke or aneurysm. With a modified joystick, surgeons may control a robotic arm at another hospital to operate… Read More »Joystick-operated robot could help surgeons treat stroke remotely
Using a new computational model that simulates the life cycle of pathogen-laden particles, researchers found that a combination of distancing of six feet, universal mask-wearing, and increased room ventilation could… Read More »Layered controls can significantly curb exposure to COVID-19
Achieving the perfect al dente texture for a pasta noodle can be tough. Noodles can take different times to fully cook, and different recipes call for different amounts of salt… Read More »Physics models better define what makes pasta ‘al dente’
Researchers have developed new polymer materials that are ideal for making the optical links necessary to connect chip-based photonic components with board-level circuits or optical fibers. These materials can be… Read More »New polymer materials make fabricating optical interconnects easier
The Hercules beetle native to South America has a fascinating trait of changing its shell colors depending on the external humidity conditions. This is because the inside of the beetle’s… Read More »Real-time ultrafast humidity sensing optical sensor
