Researchers are increasingly exploring how computers can directly control our bodies through technologies like on-body mechanical actuators and electrical muscle stimulation. Florian Mueller from Monash University, Nadia Bianchi-Berthouze of University College London, and Misha Sra from University of California Santa Barbara, alongside Gonzalez-Franco, Pohl, and Boll, have collaboratively identified critical ‘grand challenges’ in this rapidly evolving field. Their work, stemming from an expert seminar, moves beyond purely technical considerations to address the fundamental questions of agency, bodily experience, and ethical implications when computers exert control over human movement. By outlining these challenges, this research establishes a vital agenda for future human-computer interaction, ensuring bodily control is approached as a holistic, experiential, and ethically-grounded concern. Computers taking control of human bodies seems like Scientists have demonstrated a pivotal shif...

The pioneering research team, led by Professor Ruibang Luo from the School of Computing and Data Science, Faculty of Engineering, has unveiled two groundbreaking deep-learning algorithms—ClairS-TO and Clair3-RNA—set to revolutionize genetic analysis in both clinical and research settings. Leveraging long-read sequencing technologies, these tools significantly improve the accuracy of detecting genetic mutations in complex samples, opening new horizons for precision medicine and genomic discovery. Both research articles have been published in Nature Communications. Long-read sequencing technologies capture continuous stretches of DNA and RNA, providing detailed insights into genetic information. However, interpreting this data, especially identifying mutations in challenging conditions, has remained a hurdle. The two new algorithms aim to overcome these obstacles, making genomic analysis faster, more accurate, and more accessible. ClairS-TO addresses a critical challenge in cancer diagn...

  Unlocking F1-ATPase through optical vortex magic reveals how twisted light can control and study molecular motors at the nanoscale. This innovative approach combines photonics and biophysics to visualize rotary enzyme motion, decode ATP-driven energy conversion, and advance our understanding of cellular machinery using precision, contact-free laser torque manipulation techniques.
