Hierarchical origami-based metastructures are inspired by paper folding. They can transform into many different shapes, like a flexible sculpture. This technology could be used in robotics and space to create adaptable, shape-changing structures.​

COVID-19 has spread to various wildlife species, especially in areas with high human activity. The study highlights the need for careful monitoring of both humans and animals to understand and control the virus's spread.​

A new experiment uses powerful lasers and x-rays to search for axions, possible particles that could explain dark matter. This method may detect axions by observing changes in light, helping to solve major physics mysteries.

Training AI models on data from other AIs causes "model collapse," making them less accurate over time. It's important to use human-made data for training to keep AI models reliable and prevent repeating mistakes.

Researchers created a tiny drone that navigates using insect-inspired methods. It takes and stores few images, then uses them and movement tracking to return accurately. This efficient memory use allows autonomous navigation without GPS, suitable for greenhouses and warehouses.

Scientists created powerful HIV-1 antibodies by combining llama nanobodies with human antibodies. These new antibodies, called bispecific antibodies, can neutralize almost all HIV-1 strains, offering hope for better treatments and vaccines against the virus.​

Researchers created RTNet, a new neural network that makes decisions like humans. RTNet's responses matched human accuracy, speed, and confidence. It uses probabilities and evidence, making it more human-like and better for understanding human behavior.​

Scientists created an AI model to help doctors diagnose different types of dementia using brain scans and medical data. This helps doctors identify the exact type of dementia quickly, leading to better and faster treatment for patients.​

Scientists are developing GeSn alloys, which efficiently convert waste heat into electricity at low temperatures. These materials can improve energy efficiency in electronics, making them greener and reducing the need for cooling in devices like computers and wearables.​

A new system for astronauts turns pee into clean drinking water, keeping them healthy and comfortable during spacewalks. This helps them stay hydrated and perform better on future missions to the Moon and beyond.​

Microsoft has created a new language model called phi-3-mini. It’s powerful, fits on a phone, uses special training data, and is safe to use. It handles text and images quickly, making it useful for many tasks, even offline.​

Scientists at the University of Maryland made a new camera for robots that works like human eyes. It helps robots see clearly, even when things are moving fast. This camera can also improve virtual reality and self-driving cars.​

Scientists found that adding a chemical called THB to lithium metal batteries makes them last longer and work better. THB creates a strong protective layer and helps lithium ions move, making the batteries safer and more efficient.​
