This breakthrough discovery, involving manipulating quantum vortices, opens up new potential…

Electronic Arts is undergoing a massive internal restructuring, splitting EA Games' studios into two separate organisations. The shakeup has now formed separate divisions EA Sports and EA Games, with the latter further being rebranded to EA Entertainment. As the name suggests, EA Entertainment will build upon owned blockbuster IPs, as well as licensed ones through strong collaborations. However, the name change from ‘Games' to ‘Entertainment' suggests that the company is looking to expand into media beyond video games.…

Researchers have developed a new method of applying liquid metal to surfaces such as paper and plastic, transforming these everyday materials into potential “smart devices.” Future endeavors aim to broaden the application to diverse surfaces and to construct smart devices from materials treated by this method.Chinese scientists have devised a technique to coat everyday materials like paper and plastic with liquid metal, potentially creating “smart devices.” The method, which involves adjusting pressure rather than using a…

Once AI replaces us all, computers will review autogenerated albums for you – a floating head in a jar – to read. When that blessed day comes, there may be one quiet moment when a laptop cries to itself as it realises what we lost. Not reviews written by meatbags, but albums like this. Music as a measure of human growth, ambition. It’s more than 20 years since St Albans-raised Chris Clark’s Clarence Park debut, and only now has the producer made a vocal album. He says it sprang from the age-old question: “What would it…

In order to get tested for sleep apnea, patients typically have to spend a night sleeping at a clinic with numerous hard-wired sensors stuck to their skin. A new high-tech facial patch system however, could soon allow those people to spend the night in their own bed.Obstructive sleep apnea can be a serious disorder, as it causes people to temporarily stop breathing. Additionally, by disrupting their sleep, it may exacerbate existing conditions such as heart disease.Unfortunately, it often takes quite a long time for…

Researchers have developed an electronic skin that can mimic the same process that causes a finger, toe or limb to move when poked or scalded. The technology could lead to the development of a covering for prosthetic limbs that would give their wearers a sense of touch, or help to restore sensation in people whose skin has been damaged. The ‘e-skin’ was developed in the laboratory of chemical engineer Zhenan Bao at Stanford University in California. Her team has long been trying to make a prosthetic skin that is soft and…
