By the mid-2010s, 3D-printing was in the “Peak of Inflated Expectations” phase, and prosthetics was no exception. Those LEGO-style hands getting media attention didn’t have the strength needed for a ...

Abstract: We implement transfer learning (TL) to attain efficiency in training and feature extraction by freezing the connection weights of shallow layers of deep learning (DL) models, already trained ...

The human visual system provides us with a rich and meaningful percept of the world, transforming retinal signals into visuo-semantic representations. For a model of these representations, here we ...

Over the past year, US President Donald Trump has veered sharply in his handling of Russia’s war on Ukraine—alternating between calling Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “dictator” and sanctioning ...

A team of Brazil-based astronomers found that the bands of material orbiting around (2060) Chiron, a 125-mile-wide (200 kilometers wide) object that circles the sun between Saturn and Uranus, are new ...

In the heart of the Amazon Basin, where the borders and cultures of Peru, Colombia and Brazil converge, a tiny, shape-shifting island has become the unlikely setting for a diplomatic tug of war. Santa ...

Abstract: 3D object alignment is essential in multiple fields. For instance, to allow precise measurements in metrology, to perform surface/volumetric checks or quality control in industrial ...

Last month, Google quietly killed off Google Sky Maps. But there’s still another way to virtually explore most of the solar system a la Google Maps: it’s called Google Maps in Space. Google Maps in ...

At launch, Strinova will feature five game modes, 14 maps, and 15 playable Superstrings. More characters, maps, and game modes will be gradually introduced through new seasons and tournaments in the ...

This conceptual illustration of a computer based on 2D molecules displays an actual scanning electron microscope image of the computer fabricated by a team by researchers at Penn State. The keyboard ...
