- 8Scientists use three-dimensional light fields to steer electrons▼Using three-dimensional light fields to control electrons
Researchers report a technique for controlling electron motion using three-dimensional sculpted light fields, a physics advance described on EurekAlert. By shaping light in three dimensions, scientists aim to direct electrons with greater precision, with potential implications for ultrafast science and future electronic or photonic technologies. Details of the team, institutions and applications were not provided in the available coverage.
- 9Robots Approaching From Behind Seem Faster, Study Finds▼Robots approaching from behind are perceived as moving faster
A new study reports that people perceive robots approaching from behind as moving faster than they actually are. The finding, published via EurekAlert!, adds to research on how humans judge the speed and position of moving objects, with implications for designing robots that share space with people safely and predictably.
- 10Caltech roboticist urges safety first for humanoid robots▼Caltech roboticist says safety should be top concern with humanoid robots
A Caltech roboticist is warning that safety must be the leading priority in the development of humanoid robots, arguing that as these machines move into homes and workplaces, protecting humans should come before performance or commercial goals. The remarks were published by Caltech and picked up by outlets including EurekAlert! and Pasadena Now.
- 11SUTD robot glides like a maple seed and sails on water▼SUTD researchers develop robot that falls like a maple seed and sails like a boat
Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design have developed a small robot that descends by spinning like a falling maple seed and can then move across water like a boat. The dual-mode design suggests potential uses for distributing sensors or payloads from the air and continuing operations on water. The work was announced via science news services EurekAlert and Asia Research News.
- 12Researchers publish evidence map of skull bone channel biology▼Figure 1. Evidence map of skull bone channel biology. (IMAGE)
A scientific evidence map summarising research on skull bone channel biology has been released via EurekAlert, the science news release service. The figure compiles what is currently known about tiny channels within skull bone, a topic of growing interest in neuroscience and anatomy. Little further detail accompanies the release, and reaction so far appears limited.
