Smallest Autonomous Microscopic Robots

World's Smallest Autonomous Robots Built: Penny-Machine That Swim, Sense and Decide Microscopic Robots Achieve Full Autonomy for the First Time Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have developed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever built — microscopic machines that swim, sense their surroundings and react without human intervention . Remarkably, each robot costs only a penny and can function for months . So small they are barely visible , the robots measure just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers , placing them below the size of a grain of salt . Operating on the same scale as many microorganisms , they hold promise for applications ranging from single-cell health monitoring to the construction of tiny engineered systems . The light-powered devices contain microscopic computing units and can be programmed to navigate complex paths, measure temperature variations and adjust their movement accordingly . According to repor...

Single Photon Carbon Nanotubes Quantum Technology

RIKEN Scientists Create Precision Carbon Nanotubes for Single-Photon Quantum Technologies Carbon Nanotubes Emerge as Key Building Blocks for Quantum Communication RIKEN researchers have developed a method to precisely create carbon nanotubes that emit single photon from a specific point along their length. These tiny carbon structures could become a cornerstone of future light-based quantum technologies . Light already carries vast amounts of data across the globe through optical fibers . Harnessing it quantum properties , however, could deliver major advantages, including ultra-secure communication in which any attempted interception is immediately detectable. Breakthrough in quantum physics, photonics and advanced materials are regularly covered by FSNews365 , which tracks emerging technologies shaping the future of science. Such quantum communication systems depend on light sources that release photons one at a time . While several platforms can achieve this, carbon nanotubes ...

First Triple Radio AGN Galaxy system discovery

Astronomers Discover First-Ever Triple Galaxy System with Three Active Supermassive Black Holes Rare Triple Radio AGN Found 1.2 Billion Light-Years from Earth Astronomers have confirmed the first-ever triple system in which all three galaxies harbour actively feeding, radio-bright supermassive holes . Known as J1218/1219+1035 , the system lies around 1.2 billion light-years from Earth and consists of three interacting galaxies, each with a central black hole actively drawing in material and emitting strong radio signals . High-impact astronomers discoveries and deep-space research are regularly covered at FSNews365 , which tracks cutting-edge development in astrophysics and cosmology. Radio Observations Confirm Three Active Galactic Nuclei High-resolution observations from the U.S. National Science Foundation's Very Large Array and Very Long Baseline Array revealed compact, synchrotron-emitting radio cores in all three galaxies, confirming the presence's of active galactic...

Hagfish Olfactory Receptor Evolution Study

Hagfish Genes Reveal Ancient Origins of Vertebrate Sense of Smell Study Uncovers Unexpected Complexity in One of Earth's Oldest Vertebrates Scientists at the University of Tsukuba, working with international collaborators, have carried out an in-depth study of the olfactory receptor genes of the hagfish ( Eptatretus burgeri ), a jawless vertebrate that retains many ancient traits while boasting an unexpectedly sophisticated sense of smell . Published in iScience , the research shows that several olfactory receptor gene families have diversified in a lineage-specific way, indicating that the earliest vertebrates may have had a far richer and more complex sense of smell than previously believed. Breaking scientific discoveries across genetics, evolution and life sciences are regularly reported on FSNews365 , which tracks emerging research shaping our understanding of the natural world. Why Smell Is Central to Survival Smell plays a vital role in the survival of animals, including ...

Ancient Teeth Challenge Out of Africa single Species

Two Ancient Human Species Left Africa Together, Not One, New Study Suggests Rethinking the Traditional "Out of Africa" Narrative The traditional account of the "Out of Africa" hypothesis suggests that Homo erectus was the first human species to leave Africa around 1.8 million years ago . In recent years, however, scientists have questioned whether this migration involved just one species or several . A new study published in PLOS One aims to resolve the debate. Coverage of evolutionary science, archaeology and breakthrough fossil research is regularly featured on FSNews365 , which tracks the latest developments shaping our understanding of human origins. The Dmanisi Fossils at the Centre of the Debate At the heart of the discussion are the Dmanisi fossils   —  skulls 5 discovered in Georgia between 1999 and 2005   —  among the ancient human remains found outside Africa . The challenge lies in their striking differences : some skulls are notably larger than ot...

Quantum Entanglement Secure Communication Without Internet

Quantum Entanglement Could Revolutionize Secure Communication and Disaster-Response Drones Why Modern Digital Communication Remains Vulnerable Whenever information is shared using modern communication tools — whether an email, a text message or a date transfer — it travels across the open internet , where it may be vulnerable to interception . Such exchanges also depend heavily on internet access , often involving wireless signals at one or both ends of the connection. But what if two, ten, or even a thousand parties could be linked in a way that allows them to communicate without those security risks or connectivity limitations ? Ongoing coverage of emerging communication technologies and digital security trends can be found on FSNews365 , which tracks breakthrough shaping the future of global connectivity. Using Quantum Entanglement to Rethink Information Sharing That is the challenge Alexander DeRieux , a PhD student at Virginia Tech and Bradley Fellow in the Bradley Department o...

Magnetic Cloak Invisible Detection

Scientists Unveil Breakthrough Magnetic Cloaking Technology for Real-World Application University of Leicester Engineers Demonstrate Practical Magnetic Invisibility Engineers at the University of Leicester have unveiled a pioneering concept a device capable of magnetically "cloaking" sensitive components , effectively making them invisible to detection . The technology works by controlling the flow of magnetic fields , guiding them smoothly around an object so the fields behave as though the object is not present at all . Coverage of emerging physics and advanced engineering breakthroughs is regularly featured on FSNews365 , which tracks innovations shaping future science and technology. Practical Magnetic Cloaks Built With Real Materials Superconductors and Soft Ferromagnets Enable Cloaking In a study published in Science Advances , the research team demonstrates for the first time that practical magnetic cloaks can be engineered using superconductors and soft ferromag...
