Artificial intelligence predicts the future of artificial intelligence researchIt has become nearly impossible for human researchers to keep track of the overwhelming abundance of scientific publications in the field of artificial intelligence and to stay up-to-date with advances. | |
Adaptive optical neural network connects thousands of artificial neuronsModern computer models—for example for complex, potent AI applications—push traditional digital computer processes to their limits. New types of computing architecture, which emulate the working principles of biological neural networks, hold the promise of faster, more energy-efficient data processing. | |
Researchers design and fly world's largest quadcopter droneEngineers at The University of Manchester have built and flown the world's largest quadcopter drone. The drone, made from a cardboard-like material called foamboard, measures 6.4m (21 ft) corner to corner and weighs 24.5kg—0.5kg less than the weight limit set by the Civil Aviation Authority. | |
Low-temperature synthesis of lithium ceramic for batteriesA lithium ceramic could act as a solid electrolyte in a more powerful and cost-efficient generation of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The challenge is to find a production method that works without sintering at high temperatures. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a research team has now introduced a sinter-free method for the efficient, low-temperature synthesis of these ceramics in a conductive crystalline form. | |
Study: AI can boost Wikipedia reliabilityThere are enough differing opinions about the usefulness of Wikipedia to fill, well, an encyclopedia. | |
Combining metals for cheaper, more stable fuel cellsFuel cells are seen as a promising source of green energy, with the potential to revolutionize various industries including transportation and power generation. They produce electricity through a chemical reaction whose only byproducts are water and heat. | |
Amazon unveils new human-shaped warehouse robot, more powerful droneAmazon employees have long worked alongside robots—but the company is now testing a very lifelike, two-legged machine to help its human co-workers with some tasks. | |
Students lead polymer research into more recyclable plasticsChemistry and material science researchers at Colorado State University have developed a new class of recyclable polymers that could replace common single-use plastics with a large environmental footprint like grocery bags. | |
German solar industry looks to rise againA decade after a wave of bankruptcies all but wiped out the German solar industry, the sector is looking to reestablish itself in the face of stiff competition from abroad. | |
Foxconn under tax and land use investigations in ChinaTaiwanese tech giant Foxconn is under tax and land use investigations at several of its sites in China, state media reported on Sunday. | |
Did a computer write this? Book industry grapples with AIFrom low-quality computer-written books flooding the market to potential copyright violations, publishing is the latest industry to feel the threat from rapid developments in artificial intelligence. | |
AI is causing panic for authors: Now the courts are involvedWhen novelist Douglas Preston first started messing around with ChatGPT, he gave the AI software a challenge: Could it write an original poem based on a character from some of his books? | |
Neutrons offer insights into developing long-range batteries for electric vehiclesCurrently, the biggest hurdle for electric vehicles, or EVs, is the development of advanced battery technology to extend driving range, safety and reliability. | |
Why Google, Bing and other search engines' embrace of generative AI threatens $68 billion SEO industryGoogle, Microsoft and others boast that generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT will make searching the internet better than ever for users. For example, rather than having to wade through a sea of URLs, users will be able to just get an answer combed from the entire internet. | |
A new algorithm for building robust distributed systemsEPFL researchers have developed a new distributed algorithm that, for the first time, solves one of the key performance and reliability problems affecting most of the currently-deployed consensus protocols. The work has been published in Proceedings of the 29th Symposium on Operating Systems Principles. | |
Indonesians facing eviction over a China-backed plan to turn their island into a solar panel 'ecocity'I first visited Rempang island in Summer 2022. Greeting me were lush fields lined with coconut and banana trees, picture-book fishing villages with houses jutting into the water on stilts, and boats carrying people between the dozens of islands that dot the Riau archipelago in western Indonesia. I had made the pleasant, one-hour ferry trip from bustling, glass-and-chrome Singapore. This felt like another world. | |
Online machine learning models accurately predict wastewater influent flow rateThe accurate prediction of influent flow rates at wastewater treatment plants is important for the proper operation of treatment facilities. The influent flow refers to the untreated water coming into the plant. With the ability to accurately predict the influent flow rate, plant operators can plan for the efficient use of their resources. | |
Team develops scan-to-BIM for reverse engineering from 3D vision dataResearchers at the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology have developed building scan to BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based reverse engineering technology required for 3D geospatial information modeling domains such as digital twin information modeling. | |
How video games are being used by foreign actors and extremistsVideo games are easy to exploit, and are being used by actors ranging from IS and Hezbollah for recruitment, to Russia, who use it to spread propaganda during the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. This according to a new report from Psychological Defense Research Institute at Lund University in Sweden. | |
Surveying the realm of human rights in the wake of digitalizationThere are many challenges facing us in the digital age, especially in terms of security and privacy, safeguarding, and human rights. Research published in the International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics has surveyed the realm of human rights in the wake of digitalization. | |
Illinois Facebook users to get 'third and final' check from record $650 million biometric privacy settlementThe $650 million Facebook biometric privacy settlement is proving to be the class-action lawsuit that keeps on giving for Illinois social media users. | |
Insider Q&A: AbleGamers founder Mark Barlet on the importance of making gaming accessibleMark Barlet founded AbleGamers in 2004. It's a nonprofit that works to combat social isolation among people with disabilities using "the power of video games." Most recently, his organization worked with Sony to help create its new Access controller for the PlayStation, designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to play. | |
Taiwan defends Foxconn over China tax probeTaiwan defended tech giant Foxconn on Monday after China launched an investigation into several of the firm's sites, saying that Taiwanese businesses should not be subjected to "political interference". | |
Philips raises outlook despite sleep machine sagaDutch medical device maker Philips raised its 2023 earnings outlook on Monday after posting stronger third quarter sales and profits despite a recent setback for its sleep machines in the United States. | |
