Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have discovered a new cellular mechanism behind how humans develop sharp, high-acuity vision. 

Using lab-grown retinal organoids, the team identified how the eye populates the foveola with the specific…

The U.S. Air Force has awarded Boeing a contract worth more than $100 million to rebuild its stockpile of 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs used in strikes on Iran in June.

Redacted government documents posted online Thursday show the deal…

UK-based robotics company Humanoid has released a 19-minute documentary that offers a behind-the-scenes look at the process of building humanoid robots. Released on February 13, the company named the process the “fastest development cycle in…

San Francisco-based startup Weave Robotics has launched its first-ever stationary robotics platform that can fold laundry in 30 to 90 minutes. Named Issac 0, the company launched the autonomous robot as a prequel to their upcoming robot Issac,…

A new study has overturned a fundamental tenet of metallurgy: the “Metallurgy 101” rule that heat always softens metal.

The rule was simple: if you want to bend metal, heat it. It allows the material to be bent or molded without…

Researchers in Sweden created artificial animals that over time develop functioning vision from scratch – from simple light sensitivity to the ability to discern objects. Artificial animals developed functioning vision without any instruction….

A new methodology is helping robots to move its arms autonomously. Researchers combined a type of observational learning with intercommunication between its limbs to boost robots’ flexibility.

This breakthrough, achieved by researchers at…
