The University of Birmingham, UK, and Brazilian-based CBMM, have partnered on a project to ensure the future supply of Niobium, an essential component for a carbon recycling technology that could radically reduce emissions from energy- and carbon-intensive foundation industries.
For the first time, a new study has revealed how and when we make eye contact—not just the act itself—plays a crucial role in how we understand and respond to others, including robots.
They discovered that the most effective way to signal a request was through a specific gaze sequence: looking at an object, making eye contact, then looking back at the same object. This timing made people most likely to interpret the gaze as a call for help.
The first of its kind, a new adhesive for wearable medical devices could offer relief for allergy-prone skin.
A team that includes Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists has unlocked some of the secrets of corn DNA, revealing how specific sections of genetic material control vital traits such as plant architecture and pest resistance.
The discovery could enable scientists to use new technologies to improve corn, making it more resilient and productive, the scientists said.
In a report in the science journal Nature Plants, researchers described finding where certain proteins called transcription factors attach to the DNA in corn plants and how this sticking changes how genes are turned on or off in a particular tissue.An interdisciplinary research team at The University of Texas at Arlington is working to combat technology-facilitated abuse, a form of digital harassment that is common among survivors of domestic violence.
