So you can whip together a weekend bag or fit a fortnight’s worth of outfits into a rolling suitcase, but does your status as “packing guru” extend to your phone or tablet? Think of your…
Most people worry far more about AI’s immediate harms—like bias, misinformation, or job losses—than they do about distant, existential threats, a University of Zurich study of over 10,000 UK and US respondents finds. Even when…
Artificial intelligence software has given editing tools a huge boost in power, far beyond the spell-checkers and grammar aids of yore. A.I. can proofread, rewrite, summarize and compose text, making it simple to craft clean,…
A new study shows that the synthetic molecule CPMAC, developed from buckminsterfullerene (C₆₀), significantly improves the energy efficiency and durability of perovskite solar cells. By forming stronger ionic bonds with the perovskite material, CPMAC enhances…
AI systems still struggle to understand dynamic social interactions, falling far behind human abilities due to limitations in how these models process complex, real-world scenarios. Johns Hopkins study reveals AI models struggle to accurately predict…
MIT scientists created a powerful new coupler that speeds up how quantum computers measure and process information. It could lead to real-world quantum machines that operate with far fewer errors. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A new MIT-designed…
Penn Engineers have created the first programmable photonic chip that can train nonlinear neural networks using light, potentially revolutionizing AI by making it faster and more energy-efficient. Unlike traditional electronic chips, this new chip reshapes…
A collagen-based 3D-bioprinted tissue scaffold perfused within a 3D printed bioreactor to achieve vascular-like nutrient delivery in engineered tissues. Previous designs posed bioengineering challenges as they traditionally used plastic and elastomers that are stiff and…
When I travel to Asia this summer, I plan to leave my iPhone at home. Instead, I’ll pack a different phone lacking my staple apps, like Instagram, Slack and Signal. It won’t even be logged…
