A long-standing limitation in photonics may be giving way to a new regime of light control. Photonic technologies have struggled to shrink at the same pace as electronics. The limitation comes from basic physics. The uncertainty principle links how tightly light can be confined to its wavelength, which in the visible and near-infrared range can […]

Researchers have developed a brain-inspired nanoelectronic device that could significantly reduce the energy demands of artificial intelligence systems. Researchers have created a new type of nanoelectronic device that could significantly reduce the energy demands of artificial intelligence by taking inspiration from how the human brain works. A team led by the University of Cambridge developed […]

Honey bees literally dance better when they have an audience. Honey bees don’t deliver perfect directions unless someone’s watching closely. When their audience shrinks, their famous waggle dance gets less accurate as they try to draw attention. “Dance like nobody’s watching” may be good advice for humans, but honey bees operate very differently. Over the […]

When it comes to balance, more effort from the brain and muscles may actually mean less control—and a higher risk of falling. Lena Ting of Emory University and her team investigated how aging and Parkinson’s disease affect the way the brain and muscles respond when a person tries to regain balance. In earlier work, Ting’s […]
