Four-legged, dog-like robot ‘sniffs’ hazardous gases in inaccessible environments
Nightmare material or truly man’s best friend? A team of researchers equipped a dog-like quadruped robot with a mechanized arm that takes air samples from potentially treacherous situations, such as an abandoned building or fire. The robot dog walks samples to a person who screens them for potentially hazardous compounds.

Liquid metal-based electronic logic device that mimics intelligent prey-capture mechanism of Venus flytrap
A research team has developed a liquid metal-based electronic logic device that mimics the intelligent prey-capture mechanism of Venus flytraps. Exhibiting memory and counting properties, the device can intelligently respond to various stimulus sequences without the need for additional electronic components. The intelligent strategies and logic mechanisms in the device provide a fresh perspective on …
Meta’s AI can translate dozens of under-resourced languages
The technology behind Meta’s artificial intelligence model, which can translate 200 different languages, is described in a paper published in Nature. The model expands the number of languages that can be translated via machine translation.
