Photonic memory development for AI processing has been problematic. It gains speed by sacrificing energy usage. For the first time, however, an international team of electrical engineers developed a new method for photonic in-memory…

A research team at the University of Virginia developed protective coatings that enable turbine engines to run at higher temperatures. According to lead researcher, professor, and chair of the Department of Materials Science and…

Meet STAR1, a bipedal robot from Robot Era in China. The robot measures 5 feet 7 inches and weighs in at 143 lbs. Oh, and it can run over 8 mph, so it’s the fastest in its class to date. It’s secret? A pair of sneakers and a little bit of…

A team of Korean researchers has developed a new thermoelectric material designed for wearable devices like smart clothing or medical sensors. It can generate stable thermal energy even in extreme conditions, balancing thermoelectric…

There’s now an easier way to ID unique molecules. UCF NanoScience Technology Center researchers developed a special “barcode” to identify molecules. Led by UCF NanoScience Technology Center Professor Debashis Chanda, the team developed a…

Penn Engineers created a new algorithm allowing robots to react to complex physical contact in real-time, enabling autonomous robots to succeed at previously impossible tasks. Known as "consensus complementarity control" (C3), the algorithm…

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) just awarded nearly $975,000 to Charles Paillard, a University of Arkansas research professor of physics and director of the Smart Ferroic Materials Center, to study aluminum scandium nitride at the…

Adam Zewe | MIT News Despite their impressive capabilities, large language models are far from perfect. These artificial intelligence models sometimes “hallucinate” by generating incorrect or unsupported information in response to a…

Alex Shipps | MIT News In the current AI zeitgeist, sequence models have skyrocketed in popularity for their ability to analyze data and predict what to do next. For instance, you’ve likely used next-token prediction models like ChatGPT,…

Osaka Metropolitan University and University of Tokyo scientists successfully used light to visualize tiny magnetic regions, or magnetic domains, in a specialized quantum material. They also manipulated these regions using an electric…
