Watch a Magnetic Material Skitter Around

We’re around magnets so much, it’s easy to forget they’re kind of magic. Not only do magnets make for fun toys, they can attract or repel objects from a distance through an invisible force, they can create electricity (and vice versa)� and they can make cool new tools and materials possible.A team of mechanical engineers from MIT and the New Jersey Institute of Technology has gone down that last path, publishing in Nature today a new method of producing soft, programmable materials. Their

Real Westworld Haptic Vests Better Than Fiction

Most of the HBO show "Westworld" focuses on� artificial intelligence and android robots that seem indistinguishable from humans. But the show has also occasionally� snuck in some� real-world technology that seems futuristic enough to blend in with the science fiction setting. One example of such real technology in "Westworld" comes in the form of haptic vests that made their debut in the shows second season.Freeze all motor functions and turn back now if you want to avoid� spoilers about th

Westworld Science Advisor Talks Brains and AI

One of many hats that neuroscientist David Eagleman wears in real life is science advisor for HBOs science fiction show "Westworld." The show takes place in a futuristic theme park staffed by robotic hosts who seemingly exist only to fulfill the dark and violent fantasies of wealthy human� guests who want to indulge adventure and vice in a Western-style playground for adults. But as the show hints from the very first episode, the robotic hosts� are not necessarily content to remain subservien

Psychopath AI Offers A Cautionary Tale for Technologists

Researchers at MIT have created a psychopath. They call him Norman. Hes a computer.Actually, thats not really right. Though the team calls Norman a psychopath (and the chilling lead graphic on their homepage certainly backs that up), what theyve really created is a monster.Tell Us What You SeeNorman has just one task, and thats looking at pictures and telling us what he thinks about them. For their case study, the researchers use Rorschach inkblots, and Norman has some pretty gru

Google Decides Not to Renew a Military AI Contract

Google recently bowed to employee protests by� deciding to wind down� involvement in a U.S. military� initiative� called Project Maven next year.� The Pentagon project� focuses on harnessing� deep learning algorithms--specialized machine learning technologies often described as "artificial intelligence"--to automatically� detect and identify people or objects in military drone surveillance videos.Company emails and internal documents obtained by the� New York Times� show� Googles attempts to k

Debunking the Biggest Myths About Technology Addiction

How concerned should people be about the psychological effects of screen time? Balancing technology use with other aspects of daily life seems reasonable, but there is a lot of conflicting advice about where that balance should be. Much of the discussion is framed around fighting “addiction” to technology. But to me, that resembles a moral panic, giving voice to scary claims based on weak data.For example, in April 2018, television journalist Katie Couric’s “America Inside Out” program f

Autonomous Flatcars Could Help Drones Deliver Goods

A research company is seeking funding to build a prototype autonomous, battery-powered flatcar that would serve as a platform for package-delivery drones.Cambridge Research & Development in New Hampshire� has applied for a patent for the concept. The vehicle, Cambridge founder and CEO Ken Steinberg says, could carry and deliver freight or serve as a moving platform for autonomous package-delivery drones.The idea is to take advantage of railroad capacity that goes unused on commute

Robotic Insect Finally Flies Wirelessly

Weve seen robot� insects fly, land and even swim. But they werent doing that all by themselves.� Until now, a tether of wires held them back.A group of researchers from the University of Washington made the first wirelessly powered� robotic insect. The bot, called RoboFly,� weighs just 190 mg �" its barely heavier than a toothpick and just slightly� larger than a real fly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DXuxGErs9kHow RoboFly FliesThe idea for these bioinspired robots was first prop

Bitcoin Will Soon Use More Energy Than Austria

By now, we’re all tired of hearing about the virtual currency turned investment craze known as Bitcoin. Created in response to the 2008 financial crisis, anarcho-capitalists hailed it as the decentralized future of commerce.But as prices soared and the biggest names on Wall Street bought in, Bitcoin became mostly known as a speculative, unregulated investment. Think Beanie Babies, but you can also use them to buy drugs and engage in human trafficking.Perhaps the most remarkable Bitco

US Program Aims to Open Airspace to More Drones

Many stories about drones are sensationalized. It’s easy to use broad language that gives the impression that drones will soon be zooming over us delivering goods. That’s not true.Now that I’ve beaten down your dreams, let me build you up just a little bit. A new program in the United States could actually lead to a life� where drones drop medicine at your doorstep and are border patrol agents. Just not in the next year or two, or three, for that matter.The U.S. Department of Transpor

New App Lets You Invent A Language for Science

Phone apps often get a bad rap for being distracting time-wasters (I’m looking at you, Reddit), but some seek to challenge the minds of their users and put the resulting data to good use. And maybe even invent a new language in the process.The Color Game app� uses colors and symbols to study the evolution of language. Created by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Germany, the app is looking to uncover clues to an age-old question �"� how did human co

Updated Secret Code Hides Messages in the Letters Themselves

I remember passing notes in grade school. Oh, the thrill of exchanging “secret” messages with friends. In reality, teachers and classmates saw it happening and were probably super annoyed. Not to mention the repercussions if the message were intercepted.But now, theres a better way to keep your messages secret. A group of computer scientists from Columbia University created FontCode �" a way to unobtrusively hide secret messages in the very shapes of printed letters themselves. That mean

Researchers Reconstruct Videos Just From Neural Signals

Using artificial intelligence techniques, researchers successfully took signals from the retinas of rats and reconstructed movies of what they saw, a new study finds.The retina is the layer of cells at the back of the eyeball that helps the eye sense light. The brain then decodes electrical signals transmitted from the retinas neurons to reconstruct what the eye saw.Eyeing the EyeMuch remains uncertain about what the brain actually does to decode retinal signals. This kind of resear

Why Scientists Taught A Spider to Jump on Command

Spiders may give you the creeps, but they’re pretty cool critters. They create silk that scientists are still learning from, and use them to spin webs that are natural works of symmetric art.And, uh, some spiders can jump. That might not seem as cool �" and certainly doesn’t help on the creepiness front �" but as a team of UK scientists has shown, we could learn a lot from the leaps a spider makes, too.How to Train Your SpiderBut before they could learn a spider’s secrets, the team had

Boycott Threat Terminated Killer Robot Project

Notable tech leaders and scientists have� signed open letter petitions calling for a ban on lethal autonomous weapons powered by artificial intelligence technologies. But� a group of AI researchers� recently� went a step farther by using the threat of boycott to discourage a university from� developing so-called killer robot technologies.It all began in late February when a� Korea Times� article reported on a leading South Korean defense company teaming up with a� public research university� to d

Drones Defy Commands During Light Show, Still Break Record

Drones have flown over blowholes and detected heartbeats from the sky. They’re also good entertainers.Ehang, Chinese drone manufacturer known for� its� autonomous flying taxi, flew 1,374 drones over the Xi’an City Wall. The company reclaimed the Guinness World Record for the “most number of unmanned aerial vehicles airborne simultaneously.”The drones� danced into� 16 formations, including the Xi’an City Wall, the Silk Road and the number 1374. But the performance wasnt perfect. While th

Alan Turing’s Only Chemistry Paper Yields Desalination Technique

Water, it’s safe to say, is pretty important. A key necessity for life to flourish, the substance is also chemically important, the “universal solvent” that enables many familiar reactions. Also, we need to drink it or we die.It’s becoming an increasing concern. South Africa’s Cape Town barely managed to push back its “Day Zero,” when taps would literally run dry, into 2019. The American Southwest faces� a similarly dry future.And yet, Earth is pretty wet �" 71 percent of the surface i

College AI Courses Get an Ethics Makeover

Years after it became a running gag on HBOs show "Silicon Valley," the idea� of companies� automatically� "making the world a better place" through profit-driven technological development has lost much of its shine.� The next generation of computer engineers and tech entrepreneurs may benefit� from a more socially conscious� education that combines training in artificial intelligence with� teachings on societal issues and ethics.A growing number of universities such as Harvard and Stanford hav

Now We Can 3-D Print Circuits Right Onto Our Skin

The concept of body hacking has been gaining popularity in recent years �" the practice of integrating technology into our physical bodies to gain new abilities. Its interesting, but the procedures involved are usually pretty intense �"� think getting a camera put in the back of your head, or magnets in your fingers.A new concept from a researcher at the University of Minnesota offers a much simpler, though temporary, means of augmenting our bodies.
