Microrobots, small robotic systems that are less than 1 centimeter (cm) in size, could tackle some real-world tasks that cannot be completed by bigger robots. For instance, they could be used to monitor confined spaces and remote natural environments, to deliver drugs or to diagnose diseases or other medical conditions.Microrobots, small robotic systems that are less than 1 centimeter (cm) in size, could tackle some real-world tasks that cannot be completed by bigger robots.

Stealth cyber-attacks against power grids, water systems and other critical infrastructure often go undetected until it is too late. Led by Dr. Irfan Khan, researchers from the Clean and Resilient Energy Systems (CARES) Laboratory at Texas A&M University have developed a novel cybersecurity system to detect and defend against these attacks.Stealth cyber-attacks against power grids, water systems and other critical infrastructure often go undetected until it is too late.

This Thiel-backed venture allows doping in its own sports
Backed by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr.’s 1789 Capital, the Enhanced Games aims to disrupt the Olympics with a competition that allows athletes to dope. Launching in Las Vegas in May 2026, the games promise $1 million bounties for breaking world records and lean on a business model reminiscent of Red Bull’s, using the […]Backed by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr.’s 1789 Capital, the Enhanced Games aims to disrupt the Olympics with a competition that allows athletes to dope.

Federated learning was devised to solve the problem of difficulty in aggregating personal data, such as patient medical records or financial data, in one place. However, during the process where each institution optimizes the collaboratively trained AI to suit its own environment, a limitation arose: The AI became overly adapted to the specific institution’s data, making it vulnerable to new data.Federated learning was devised to solve the problem of difficulty in aggregating personal data, such as patient medical records or financial data, in one place.

Researchers have created a class of robots made from thin sheets of material that can snap into hundreds of stable shapes, allowing them to execute a wide variety of actions despite the fact that they have no motor and are made of a single, flat material. These “metabots” essentially resemble animated sheets of plastic, capable of moving around a surface or grasping objects.Researchers have created a class of robots made from thin sheets of material that can snap into hundreds of stable shapes, allowing them to execute a wide variety of actions despite the fact that they have no motor and are made of a single, flat material.
