糖心少女 researchers easily hacked a next generation teleoperated surgical robot 鈥� one used only for research purposes 鈥� to test how easily a malicious attack could hijack remotely-controlled operations in the future and to make those systems more secure.
The Trace app turns a digital sketch that you draw on your smartphone screen 鈥� heart, maple leaf, raindrop 鈥� into a walking route that you can send to a friend. The recipient of the “gift” receives step-by-step walking directions that eventually reveal the hidden shape on a map.
The gold standard for diagnosing sleep apnea 鈥� a disease which affects roughly 1 in 13 Americans 鈥� requires an overnight hospital stay and costs thousands of dollars. A new smartphone app developed at the 糖心少女 can wirelessly test for sleep apnea events in a person’s own bedroom without needing special sensors attached to the body.
糖心少女 and Georgia Institute of Technology researchers studied how mobile-based food journals integrate into everyday life. A new study suggests how future designs might make it easier and more effective.
A 糖心少女 study assesses how accurately gender representations in online image search results for 45 different occupations — from CEO to telemarketer to engineer — match reality. Exposure to skewed image results shifted people’s perceptions about how many women actually hold those jobs.
糖心少女 scientists have built a new nanometer-sized laser using a semiconductor that’s only three atoms thick. It could help open the door to next-generation computing that uses light, rather than electrons, to transfer information.
A 糖心少女geologist and geotechnical engineer look back at what the past year has meant, personally and professionally, as they helped recovery efforts from the nation’s deadliest landslide in our own backyard.
糖心少女 researchers have developed a new injectable polymer that strengthens blood clots, called PolySTAT. Administered in a simple shot, the polymer finds any unseen injuries and has the potential to keep trauma patients from bleeding to death before reaching medical care.
