Microscopic bacteria can bind grains of sand together into solid structures. An ETH researcher is combining this process with 3D printing and robotics, thereby opening up new ways of manufacturing architectural elements.
The devices continue to show noticeable benefits for users in various real-world tasks.
People describe their return to physical media – whether to protect data, support artists, or retain control of one’s choices
Desperate for a cheap and easy alternative to school photos, parents are feeding images of their children to ChatGPT.
Voters are already voting in the midterms. This year, some voters are trying something new to get ready for the election: asking AI to help research their ballot and even decide who to vote for.

Si les dépenses des universités ont des effets économiques directs sur les territoires, des travaux montrent combien la formation et la recherche jouent aussi sur leur compétitivité.
MIT engineers developed a flexible, shape-sensing sheet that digitally reconstructs its own form as it bends and twists. The sheet could be fashioned into a soft and pliable garment that a user could comfortably wear to physically control a video game character or a tele-operated robot, or to collect data during physical therapy.
A walking robotic hand uses reinforcement learning to balance, self-right, and push objects, unlocking daring new options for disaster rescue.
Le robot maçon Hadrian X, conçu par la société australienne FBR (Fastbrick Robotics), impressionne par sa capacité à poser des briques à une cadence très élevée. Malgré des démonstrations techniques p
Une équipe de l'EPFL a développé un moteur flexible d'une épaisseur de quelques millimètres seulement. Constitué de deux fibres creuses emboitées et enveloppées d'électrodes, le dispositif produit suffisamment de force pour actionner des systèmes robotiques souples.
The InstructMesh generative AI tool helps users 3D print working, real-world items with ease by understanding how designs should look and which edits users truly want. You can prompt the system to produce a 3D model, then ask it to edit specific parts.
Submergée par les propositions d’articles générés par IA, la plus ancienne et populaire des plateformes de prépublication scientifique resserre encore…
Seules 27,6% des PME françaises disposent désormais d’une police cyber dédiée, alors que le coût moyen d’une attaque atteint 45 900 euros. Derrière ce décalage, l’assureur Hiscox pointe un faux sentiment de sécurité nourri par les investissements techniques et une sous-estimation du risque qui subsiste malgré les protections.
New modelling by global non-profit The Ocean Cleanup has revealed that overseas plastic pollution on Australian beaches is set to double from 440 tonnes in 2020 to over 850 tonnes per year by 2050, unless action is taken now.
A new technique uses powdered eggshells to produce high-quality alloys with applications in everything from the automotive industry to biomedical applications.
