Advances in biological imaging have given scientists unprecedented datasets with extremely high resolutions, yet data interpretation tools are working overtime to keep up. This is particularly evident in the case of cryo-electron tomograms (cryo-ET), where the samples...

Industrial robots, particularly those in the automotive industry, complement human workers rather than replace them. The post Researchers find robots create jobs in long term appeared first on Robotics Business Review.

If you’ve ever been in a supercomputer datacenter, you’ll know that they don’t tend to be quiet places – but now, supercomputing is helping make some machinery hum quieter. ebm-papst, a German fan and electric motor manufacturer, is applying the Hawk supercomputer at...

Predicting the properties of a molecule or material requires calculating the collective behavior of its electrons. Such predictions could one day help researchers develop new pharmaceuticals or design materials with sought-after properties such as superconductivity....

As semiconductor devices become ever smaller, researchers are exploring two-dimensional (2D) materials for potential applications in transistors and optoelectronics. Controlling the flow of electricity and heat through these materials is key to their functionality,...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory report they can precisely rotate a single molecule that small on demand. The key ingredient is a single atom of europium, a rare earth element. It rests at the center of a complex of...

Your manufacturer should feel like an extension of your business. Manufacturing relationships are just that – relationships. Since your contract manufacturer (CM) will be working alongside you, actively learning about your robotic system and the requirements specific...

An international team of scientists have demonstrated a leap in preserving the quantum coherence of quantum dot spin qubits as part of the global push for practical quantum networks and quantum computers. These technologies will be transformative to a broad range of...

A research team led by the University of Bristol is studying fish sensory organs to better understand the cues they give to determine collective behavior. These researchers think these same cues could be used in swarms of underwater robots.  The post How fish sensory...

Human systems engineering aims to combine engineering and psychology to create systems that are designed to work with humans’ capabilities and limitations. Interest in the subject has grown among government agencies, like the FDA, the FAA and NASA, as well as in...
