As artificial intelligence drives the fourth industrial revolution, one of the most urgent challenges in modern computing is reducing energy consumption. Among various strategies, bio-inspired or ...

Humanoid robots are starting to gain something that once belonged firmly in the realm of science fiction: a sense of pain.

Robots are starting to gain something that looks a lot like a sense of touch, and in some cases even a crude version of pain.

Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo and Canon ANELVA Corporation built an ultrathin ferroelectric memory ...

Sustainability in electronics is often approached through re-use and recycling, but the idea of repairing hardware to extend its lifetime has received much less attention. Biological systems are ...

Scientists create self-repairing robotic skin with pain detection and modular magnetic patches. The neuromorphic e-skin enables robots to sense harmful contact instantly.

Electronics keep shrinking, but silicon is starting to run into physical limits. To go smaller, researchers are turning to ...

The limitations of conventional semiconductor technology have become increasingly apparent as AI applications require exponentially larger computational resources. Once the engines of rapid ...

Cyber–physical–human systems (CPHSs) integrate layers of physical components, computation and communication, and humans — in smart buildings, for example. This Review addresses the modelling and ...

When it comes to developing faster and smaller chips to power next-generation electronic devices, Silicon is seen as the leading option. This abundant, cheap semiconductor provides acceptable carrier ...

US researchers solve partial differential equations with neuromorphic hardware, taking us closer to world's first ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
