The location of the entrance to Egypt’s only ‘floating’ pyramid, named after Egyptian Pharaoh Senusret II, stumped archaeologists for more than half a century, but what was found in the nearby workers ...

A joint research team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Unmanned Exploration Laboratory (UEL) has developed a transformative wheel capable of navigating the ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started ...

Imagine, for a brief moment, that you are a student athlete playing on a Division 1 volleyball team. As part of your regular season, your team is competing against Cal State Long Beach on its home ...

Thinking of the barren, frigid interior of Alaska can send a chill down your spine — not just from the cold temperatures there, but from the tall tales of strange happenings many brush off as good ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Abstract: Point cloud completion recovers the complete point clouds from partial ones, providing numerous point cloud information for downstream tasks such as 3-D reconstruction and target detection.

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe across the United States, imperiling solar generation equipment and therefore the reliability of power. Meanwhile, there’s an industry-wide ...
