Figuring out how to structure your days so they're as productive as possible is a challenge, which is why there are so many different techniques for doing it, though they're all best suited to ...

Researchers from MIT, Northeastern University, and Meta recently released a paper suggesting that large language models (LLMs) similar to those that power ChatGPT may sometimes prioritize sentence ...

Abstract: The concentric cable-driven manipulator has characteristics of flexibility and slenderness when working in confined space. However, how to optimize a structure with appropriate stiffness ...

In his decades-long career in tech journalism, Dennis has written about nearly every type of hardware and software. He was a founding editor of Ziff Davis’ Computer Select in the 1990s, senior ...

Researchers engineer a new class of microlattice materials with enhanced stiffness-to-density ratios and giant negative Poisson's ratios, ideal for lightweight applications. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Abstract: We propose a systematic and efficient extension of the multimodal transfer-matrix method to obtain the dispersion diagram of structures with 2-D periodicity specifically targeted to ...

Schematic diagram depicting the mechanism of the rigid matrix regulating cell glycolysis in degenerated NPCs. In degenerated NP tissue, MRTF-A was activated by increased matrix stiffness and ...

To find the weak link of the structural stiffness is important to improve machine tool stiffness. However, how to overcome the static deformation with difficulty acquisition is a difficult problem in ...

For over a century, wood pole structures have been used to support overhead powerlines. Over time, as the utility industry expanded, the basic wood pole structure has evolved, but regardless of ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

In 2020, news headlines repeated John Moult’s words at the end of a stunning competition: Artificial intelligence had “solved” a long-standing grand challenge in biology, protein structure prediction.
