Magnets turn random snapping in soft metamaterials into repeatable sequences

March 20, 2026 Tech Xplore

Cutting patterns into elastic materials allows you to unfold those materials into new shapes, and researchers have now demonstrated the ability to control the sequence in which that unfolding happens by magnetizing the materials. The […]

Swimming robot propelled by lab-grown muscle hits record speed

March 19, 2026 Tech Xplore

NUS researchers have developed a platform that lets lab-grown muscle tissues train themselves to record-breaking strength, with no external stimulation required. By mechanically coupling two muscle tissues so they continuously pull against each other, their […]

55% of U.S. teens have used AI to create sexualized images, survey finds

March 18, 2026 Tech Xplore

In a survey study of U.S. teens, more than half (55.3%) reported that they had created at least one image using nudification tools, which use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to show what an individual may […]

Light becomes matter: Shadowless projection mapping makes images indistinguishable from print

March 18, 2026 Tech Xplore

Projection mapping is widely known as a lighting technique that overlays images onto buildings or objects to create visual effects. In fields such as extended reality (XR) and vision science, however, researchers have suggested that […]

Sheepdogs reveal a better way to guide robot swarms

March 18, 2026 Tech Xplore

Sheepdogs, bred to control large groups of sheep in open fields, have demonstrated their skills in competitions dating back to the 1870s. In these contests, a handler directs a trained dog with whistle signals to […]

Acoustic metamaterial can send complex signals directly between water and air

March 18, 2026 Tech Xplore

Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute, in collaboration with China’s Nanjing and Huazhong Universities, have developed a new acoustic metamaterial capable of transmitting complex sound signals directly between water and air. The advance, reported in the […]

Nanoscale hotspots in OLEDs may shorten their lifespans in phones and TVs

March 17, 2026 Tech Xplore

The pixels in phone screens and other OLED displays appear to provide a uniform glow, but a team of University of Michigan Engineering researchers has discovered the light actually originates from nanoscale hotspots, some of […]
