QUT robotics researchers have developed a new robot navigation system that mimics neural processes of the human brain and uses less than 10 per cent of the energy required by traditional systems.

Low social support and a tendency to compare yourself to others may be associated with problematic social media use, per study of 403 Italian adolescents

Aston University researchers have developed a new class of optical microresonators, the miniature optical devices that strongly confine and enhance light in microscopic dimensions. They are essential components in a wide range of systems, including ultra-precise optical sensors and information processors.  The University researchers discovered that unique optical microresonators can be introduced at the intersection of two optical fibres. These devices have potential applications within communication, computing, sensing and more.

Researchers generated a strong immune response to HIV with just one vaccine dose, by adding two powerful adjuvants to the vaccine. This strategy could lead to vaccines that only need to be given once, for infectious diseases including HIV or SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have pushed forward the development of computer vision with new, silicon-based hardware that can both capture and process visual data in the analog domain. Their work, described in the journal Nature Communications, could ultimately add to large-scale, data-intensive and latency-sensitive computer vision tasks.
