Sat Nav systems help keep older drivers on the roads for longer, according to new research from the University of East Anglia. A new study published today reveals that over 65s with a poorer sense of direction rely more on help from GPS navigation systems such as Sat Nav orContinue Reading
Specialized robots that can both fly and drive typically touch down on land before attempting to transform and drive away. But when the landing terrain is rough, these robots sometimes get stuck and are unable to continue operating. Now a team of Caltech engineers has developed a real-life Transformer thatContinue Reading

New research from The University of Texas at Arlington and the U.S. Department of Agriculture demonstrates how mathematical modeling can predict outbreaks of toxic fungi in Texas corn crops — offering a potential lifeline to farmers facing billions in harvest losses. “Our research focuses on predicting aflatoxin outbreaks in TexasContinue Reading
Biologists and chemists have a new programming language to uncover previously unknown environmental pollutants at breakneck speed — without requiring them to code. By making it easier to search massive chemical datasets, the tool has already identified toxic compounds hidden in plain sight. Mass spectrometry data is like a chemicalContinue Reading
