The work could help expand the applications of brain-machine interfaces.

This newly developed sensor robot might sound like something from science fiction: Put on a specialized, electronic headband and control a robot using the mind.

It sounds like something from science fiction: Don a specialized, electronic headband and control a robot using your mind. But now, recent research published in ACS Applied Nano Materials has taken a step toward making this a reality. By designing a special, 3D-patterned structure that doesn’t rely on sticky conductive gels, the team has created “dry” sensors that can measure the brain’s electrical activity, even amidst hair and the bumps and curves of the head.

A sharkskin-inspired coating on planes will save thousands of dollars per flight and slash carbon emissions, says Aussie start-up, MicroTau.

Date Time Beyond qubits: next big step to scale up quantum computing Through the Microsoft partnership with the University, Professor David Reilly and colleagues have invented a device that operates at 40 times colder than deep space to directly control thousands of qubits, the building blocks of quantum technology. The control platform with the cryogenic chip to control thousands of qubits. The invention will help quantum engineers overcome the input-output bottleneck preventing quan...
