Not long ago, planning a trip meant juggling guidebooks and hours of searching the web for the best restaurants and must-see sights. Now, travelers are turning to artificial intelligence tools to do the heavy lifting.Not long ago, planning a trip meant juggling guidebooks and hours of searching the web for the best restaurants and must-see sights.

A POSTECH research team has developed a thin, flexible robotic actuator inspired by human muscle proteins. As thin as paper, yet capable of generating strong forces, this robot can maneuver through tight spaces and manipulate objects, making it suitable for a wide range of applications—from surgical robots to industrial equipment. The study has been published in Nature Communications.A POSTECH research team has developed a thin, flexible robotic actuator inspired by human muscle proteins.

Lighting plays a crucial role when it comes to visual storytelling. Whether it’s film or photography, creators spend countless hours, and often significant budgets, crafting the perfect illumination for their shot. But once a photograph or video is captured, the illumination is essentially fixed. Adjusting it afterward, a task called “relighting,” typically demands time-consuming manual work by skilled artists.Lighting plays a crucial role when it comes to visual storytelling.
