New Study Results Could Help Designers Create Amphibious Robots with Better Mobility across Mud

When early terrestrial animals began moving about on mud and sand 360 million years ago, the powerful tails they used as fish may have been more important than scientists previously realized. That’s one conclusion from a new study of African mudskipper fish and a robot modeled on the animal.

Researchers Incorporate Machine Learning Methods in ASL MRI to Detect Early Dementia

Machine learning refers to one specific kind of artificial intelligence that enables computer programs to learn when exposed to fresh data without being programmed. Researchers in The Netherlands have recently incorporated machine learning methods in a unique MRI technique that is capable of measuring the tissue absorption rate, or perfusion, of blood all over the brain to identify early forms of dementia like mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Radiology.
