AI Learns To Work Backward and Reveal Hidden Forces in Nature

Scientists have developed a new AI method that can work backward from patterns to uncover the hidden processes driving them.

Rice grain-sized sensor could give robots a delicate touch and keep them from breaking stuff

Researchers have built a force sensor the size of a grain of rice that lets robots feel pressure and twisting forces using light, and it's already finding hidden tumors in tissue during early tests.

This tiny grain-of-rice sensor gives robots a new sense and changes what delicate tools can detect

Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor ...
