As the world observes World Youth Skills Day, the occasion serves as a timely reminder of the critical role that skills play ...

Researchers around the world are racing to develop new quantum-based systems for sensing, communication, computing and control that have the promise of outperforming traditional systems. Creating ...

Some computers are easy to spot. Artificial, human-built computers like those found in smartphones and laptops are abstract dynamic systems with observable computational elements like input, output, ...

Why factoring mechanical and thermal boundaries into your actuator specification can make or break system performance. Boost your understanding of integrated actuators and online software for sizing ...

Abstract: Accurately detecting the transient signal of interest from the background signal is one of the fundamental tasks in signal processing. The most recent approaches assume the existence of a ...

The muscles of a python allow them to move quickly and ambush prey. ©Lauren Suryanata/Shutterstock.com Ever heard of a heat-seeking missile? Well, meet nature's version: the heat-sensing python. In ...

In many complex systems, predictability can be substantially state-dependent. We propose here a purely data-driven approach for estimating the local predictability at different time scales. The ...

Choosing between linear and rotary indexers for an automated assembly application depends primarily on the size of the product and the space available on the plant floor. Most products assembled on ...

How do communities self-organize to manage a changing environment? Answering this requires addressing the emergence of shared, context-dependent criteria for “cooperativeness.” Existing game-theoretic ...
