Researchers use Facebook Activity to Predict Psychiatric Diagnoses

Researchers at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research developed novel machine learning algorithms from a user's Facebook activity capable of accurately predicting those who go on to develop schizophrenia spectrum disorders and mood disorders more than a year prior to the patient's first hospitalization and official diagnosis.

Stretchable Sensor Gives Robots and VR a Human Touch

Researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor that combines low-cost LEDs and dyes, resulting in a stretchable "skin" that detects deformations such as pressure, bending and strain. This sensor could give soft robotic systems - and anyone using augmented reality technology - the ability to feel the same rich, tactile sensations that mammals depend on to navigate the natural world.

3D Printing Biomedical Parts with Supersonic Speed

Forget glue, screws, heat or other traditional bonding methods. A collaboration has developed a 3D printing technique that creates cellular metallic materials by smashing together powder particles at supersonic speed.

Monolith Materials to Build Large Scale Carbon-Free Ammonia Plant

Chemical manufacturing pioneer plans to leverage its proprietary process to cleanly produce one of the world's most important chemicals in the country's first large scale carbon-free ammonia plant.

Laser Jolts Microscopic Electronic Robots into Motion

In 1959, former Cornell physicist Richard Feynman delivered his famous lecture "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom," in which he described the opportunity for shrinking technology, from machines to computer chips, to incredibly small sizes. Well, the bottom just got more crowded

For Solar Boom, Scrap silicon for This Promising Mineral

When it comes to the future of solar energy cells, say farewell to silicon and hello to perovskite.

3D Hand-Sensing Wristband

In a potential breakthrough in wearable sensing technology, researchers have designed a wrist-mounted device that continuously tracks the entire human hand in 3D.

Robots Armed with UV Light to Fight Grape Mildew

Robots fitted with ultraviolet light lamps that roam vineyards at night are proving effective at killing powdery mildew, a devastating pathogen for many crops, including grapes.

House Built Using 3D Printer and Robot

By implementing high precision 3D scanning and robotic based fabrication technology, Emerald-Ash-Borer-infested "waste wood" is transformed into an abundantly available, affordable, and sustainable building material.
