Using Turing patterns to enhance soft pneumatic technology
According to a recent study in Scientific Reports, Turing patterns can be used to develop a new method for designing and producing fabric-based soft pneumatic actuators (FSPAs).
Shape-morphing brain sensor adheres to curved surfaces for ultrasound neurostimulation
Transcranial focused ultrasound, a non-invasive technique to stimulate specific areas of the brain using high-frequency sound waves, could be a promising treatment strategy for many neurological disorders. Most notably, it ...
LiDAR-based system allows unmanned aerial vehicle team to rapidly reconstruct environments
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have proved to be highly effective systems for monitoring and exploring environments. These autonomous flying robots could also be used to create detailed maps and ...
As LLMs grow bigger, they're more likely to give wrong answers than admit ignorance
A team of AI researchers at Universitat Politècnica de València, in Spain, has found that as popular LLMs (Large Language Models) grow larger and more sophisticated, they become less likely to admit to a user that they ...
