The human sense of touch turns out to be much more sensitive than we thought. It goes beyond just simple physical contact with an object. A new study has demonstrated that humans have the ability to ...

Astronomers have detected a massive object moving in a synchronized path behind Earth. Early measurements suggest it has been trailing the planet longer than previously assumed. Its trajectory does ...

These models can now detect and segment images and even create 3D scans of any object or human in them. In videos, these models are capable of segmentation and tracking of objects and humans. Like the ...

Imaging buried objects Left: artistic impression of metal spheres buried in small glass beads; centre: conventional ultrasound image; right: the new technology can precisely determine the positions of ...

Astronomers have detected one of the darkest objects ever seen at a record cosmic distance—only with the assistance of gravity. The discovery is an important step toward the observation of dark matter ...

Dark matter is believed to make up more than 80 percent of all matter in the universe, but what it actually is remains a mystery. Now, astronomers have found something that gives us a major clue. This ...

Using the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope aboard NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, astronomers have detected hydroxyl (OH) gas — a chemical fingerprint of water — from the interstellar object ...

Scientists from the Institut Langevin in Paris and TU Wien in Vienna have developed a new technique for detecting hidden objects, such as buried treasure or submarines, using complex acoustical ...
