Sensitive touch…
To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft robots. Now, scientists have designed a 3D printable soft robotic finger containing a built-in sensor with adjustable stiffness. Their work represents a big step toward safer and more dexterous…

Sandcastles…
New research provides a solution for the century-and-half-old puzzle of why capillary condensation, a fundamentally microscopic phenomenon involving a few molecular layers of water, can be described reasonably well using macroscopic equations and macroscopic characteristics of bulk water. Is it a coincidence or a hidden law of nature? (1) Look at those children play. Building…

Life is finite. There is only a small number of summers that you will enjoy. Sitting alone at night, thinking of being alive. There is only a small number of winters that you will experience. Sitting with friends laughing. Even tomorrow you may not be here. Just sleeping is a great adventure that we don't…

Two major theories have fueled a now 1,500 year-long debate started by Saint Augustine: Is consciousness continuous, where we are conscious at each single point in time, or is it discrete, where we are conscious only at certain moments of time? Psychophysicists answer this centuries-old question with a new model, one that combines both continuous…

He is important to people who are not Christians due to his teachings and the effect He had on our civilization from His birth up to now. He is even important for atheists and agnostics alike, who always like…
