Collaborate Disseminate
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have presented some remarkable audio from a new optical microphone system that uses cameras to see and reconstruct sonic vibrations. Remarkably, it can cleanly separate a single instrument playing in a group.Co… Continue reading Amazing optical microphone can separate multiple instruments from afar
Along with providing users with sights and sounds, some VR systems also deliver tactile sensation to the hands. A new ultrasound-based setup, however, lets users feel the virtual world on and in their mouths – without making physical contact.Continue R… Continue reading Ultrasound-based system lets users feel VR worlds in their mouths
Facebook recently rebranded itself as Meta, with an eye toward the development of VR/AR tech. In one of its first projects since the announcement, it’s collaborating with Carnegie Mellon University on the development of a touch-sensitive electronic ski… Continue reading Facebook/Meta and Carnegie Mellon team up to develop electronic skin
For several decades surgeons have been using deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat severe Parkinson’s disease, delivering mild electric currents to parts of the brain to alleviate motor symptoms. A new study has marked a significant step forward for the technology, with researchers having upped the precision to target specific types of cells, which sees the effects of the therapy last several times as long in animal models.

J.P. Morgan envisions a chief role for artificial intelligence in putting an end to financial crimes, the company’s head of AI research said Monday. Financial crimes that institutions like J.P. Morgan might have to reckon with include money laundering, sanctions violations, fraud and outright cyber theft. Across all industries and organizations, financial crime cost companies and organizations $1.45 trillion in 2019, according to one estimate, with cybercrime and fraud reportedly the most common varieties. “There is this concept of values” for AI, said Manuela Veloso, who besides her work for J.P. Morgan has worked as a professor in Carnegie Mellon University’s school of computer science. “First, we want AI to be able to eradicate financial crime.” Veloso’s comments came Monday during AI Week, an event produced by Scoop News Group. Along with direct money heists, cybercriminals run afoul of the law in other ways that can be categorized as financial […]

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have taken inspiration from flat-packed furniture to reimagine the way pasta is created, developing a flat form of the food that morphs into conventional shapes as it boils. By taking this approach to past… Continue reading Sustainable flat-packed pasta morphs into shape as it cooks
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have spent a number of years developing modular snake-like robots for all kinds of purposes, and the latest adaptation sees its serpent-inspired tech headed underwater. The team has developed a submersible… Continue reading Submersible snake-inspired robot can inspect ships and infrastructure
A new study led by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University is challenging the common assumption that video conferencing is better than audio-only communication for collaborative group activities. The findings suggest video cues may in fact lower a … Continue reading Drop the Zoom video? Audio-only communication boosts group IQ
Ordinarily, if you want to build a device that’s highly electrically conductive, you have to use rigid metals. Now, however, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have created a soft and flexible material that fits the bill.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Conductive hydrogel could find use in soft robotics and more
If you were planning to perform open-heart surgery on someone, it would definitely help if you could first do a “dry run” on an exact replica of their heart. Doing so may soon be possible, thanks to a recent advance in 3D printing technology.Continue R… Continue reading Life-size model heart 3D-printed out of cardiac tissue-like material
