Absolutely astonishing!

(Phys.org)—Similar to the way that a conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine uses large magnets to generate 3D images, physicists have developed a proposal for a quantum nano-MRI machine that would use the magnetic properties of a single atomic qubit to generate 3D images with angstrom...

(Phys.org)—Paint these days is becoming much more than it used to be. Already researchers have developed photovoltaic paint, which can be used to make "paint-on solar cells" that capture the sun's energy and turn it into electricity. Now in a new study, researchers have created thermoelectric paint,...

A DARPA-funded research team has demonstrated for the first time in a human a technology that allows an individual to experience the sensation of touch directly in the brain through a neural interface system connected to a robotic arm. The work was supported by DARPA's Revolutionizing Prosthetics program, and performed by the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In this image from the University of Pittsburgh, taken October 13, 2016, at the White House Frontiers Conference, Dr. Robert Gaunt and Dr. Jennifer Collinger look on as President Barack Obama shares a fist bump with the research volunteer, Nathan Copeland.
