Wouldn't it be great to know if your millimeter wave (mmWave) signal is about to get blocked? A new study suggests that this might be possible with something called a liquid time constant (LTC) network. This special tool uses ordinary differential equations, inspired by biology, to predict future si
Have you ever thought about flies as potential villains in the fight against superbugs? These tiny insects can spread dangerous bacteria that are resistant to our strongest antibiotics. One such group of bacteria, called carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), is causing a lot of worry around t

Have you ever walked a familiar path with your eyes closed? It turns out, humans have a fascinating ability to travel from one place to another without seeing or actively thinking about their journey. This skill is called human odometry. Researchers recently reviewed 23 key studies on this topic. Th
