Generative AI can explain a difficult concept, solve a problem, correct a sentence or produce an answer in seconds. That creates enormous opportunities for learning.Generative AI can explain a difficult concept, solve a problem, correct a sentence or produce an answer in seconds.

Researchers from the Shenyang Institute of Automation (SIA) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an electrohydraulically actuated soft robotic fish that can swim at high speeds and perform agile three-dimensional (3D) maneuvers. The soft robotic fish addresses a longstanding design challenge by combining a rigid–flexible coupled propulsion system with dynamic buoyancy regulation. This allows for fast propulsion without sacrificing maneuverability.Researchers from the Shenyang Institute of Automation (SIA) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an electrohydraulically actuated soft robotic fish that can swim at high speeds and perform agile three-dimensional (3D) maneuvers.

It’s no secret that an ever-increasing number of scientists use AI to help with their papers. While tasks such as polishing text are generally permissible if declared, using the technology to write papers, or parts of papers, from scratch and passing them off as original work is not. But it’s happening.It’s no secret that an ever-increasing number of scientists use AI to help with their papers.

Researchers have developed a technology that lets a user move a small robot by bending and straightening a finger. The user can also pick up and move objects while checking the images and contact information that the robot sends back.Researchers have developed a technology that lets a user move a small robot by bending and straightening a finger.

Inside the human brain, billions of individual neurons connect to form a vast network capable of rapidly processing information and electrical signals. A team of researchers and engineers at Penn State is taking inspiration from these natural computers to build soft networks of water-based droplets, connected by membranes like those found in the walls of living cells.Inside the human brain, billions of individual neurons connect to form a vast network capable of rapidly processing information and electrical signals.
