When you unlock a phone, step into view of a security camera or drive past a license plate reader at night, beams of infrared light - invisible to the naked eye — shine onto the unique contours of ...

By directly communicating with the brain, a new wireless device could someday help restore lost senses or manage pain without medications, its developers say.

From disaster zones to underground tunnels, robots are increasingly being sent where humans cannot safely go. But many of ...

In a new leap for neurobiology and bioelectronics, Northwestern University scientists have developed a wireless device that uses light to send information directly to the brain - bypassing the body's ...

Researchers in the ScopeX Lab and the Yao Group are harnessing the power of the photon for accelerated AI modeling and novel infrared detection, respectively. The ScopeX Lab works at the intersection ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important signaling molecules can become diluted as these cells grow and divide, causing ...

In the fight against cancer, an important field of research is the search for safe alternatives to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These treatments attack both cancer cells and healthy cells, exposing ...

The Court of Appeals unanimously refused to stay a trial court ruling against Trump, signaling the judges believe his use of the Guard is illegal. Members of the Texas National Guard assemble in ...

Convolutional neural networks, or CNNs, are the workhorses behind many of AI's greatest hits, like spotting faces in photos, reading handwriting, or translating languages. They're masters at pattern ...

Redefining the repeating pattern in photonic crystals creates tightly confined pathways for light while preserving symmetry, offering a simple route to ultracompact and low loss light circuits.

Dying Light: The Beast will test your parkour skills as you leap from roof to roof and cliff to cliff avoiding huge swarms of the undead. By the time you get the Grappling Hook, you'll already be a ...
