The development of bioinspired electronic skin plays a pivotal role in enhancing robotic environmental perception and ...

Humans can detect buried objects without touching them, sensing faint pressure ripples in sand. Scientists are calling this ...

Under pressures that would crush a car into scrap, a long standing mystery about how some of the most extreme superconductors actually work is finally giving way. By combining new measurement tricks ...

Mango growers know the sound of loss: the soft thud of immature fruit hitting the ground long before it has a chance to ...

In Nepal, thousands of CCTV cameras from China, perched on street corners and rooftops, monitor every movement below.

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

Researchers found that cold is detected differently in the skin than in internal organs. This split system helps explain why ...

The magnetic compass is the last unknown sense in migrating animals. For some scientists, the monarch butterfly is leading ...

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their outgoing signals).

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...
