An enthusiastic group of non-experts, working through an online interface and receiving feedback from lab experiments, has produced designs for RNA molecules that are consistently more successful than ...

Quantum mechanics isn’t easy. Sometimes, even scientists find it frustrating. Quantum physicist Mario Krenn and his colleagues in the group of Anton Zeilinger, from the Faculty of Physics at the ...

The proteins that control our lives are like rolling tumbleweeds. Each has a tangled, unique shape, with spiky side-branches dotting its surface. Hidden in the nooks and crannies are the locks to ...

(Nanowerk News) There are some tasks that traditional robots — the rigid and metallic kind — simply aren’t cut out for. Soft-bodied robots, on the other hand, may be able to interact with people more ...

The algorithm was developed by Amazon Lab 126, the company’s research and development hub and uses a tool called generative adversarial network (GAN). The GAN is a new technique in AI research that ...

Researchers developed a deep learning neural network to aid the design of soft-bodied robots. The algorithm optimizes the arrangement of sensors on the robot, enabling it to complete tasks as ...
