AI is rapidly evolving. Visual and large language models can create images, essays, computer code, and more and even correct their mistakes. So, how do they “think?” According to U.C. Santa Barbara’s Fabian Offert, people have been…

There’s now evidence that pigeons and AI tackle challenging tasks similarly. Research has already shown that pigeons can solve complex categorization tasks differently than a human’s selective attention and explicit rule-use approach.…

Acoustic resonators are ubiquitous. Smartphones, for example, have bulk acoustic resonators to filter out noise that could degrade an RF signal. Wi-Fi and GPS systems use the filters as well. Unfortunately, these resonators degrade over…

Emergn's data shows that 75% of industry leaders in the UK and US view AI as a crucial technology in reshaping their sector and product development cycle over the next three years. Yet despite the enthusiasm, Emergn's survey also makes…

We experience the Doppler effect constantly. Tracking the speed of cars with radar and locating satellites in the sky is all about how waves change frequency when a source, such as a radar signal and a detector, are in motion relative to…

There are challenges in physics. For example, when light interacts with matter, light seems to slow down. When incident light (light that falls on a subject) is on an interface, the standard wave equation is satisfied on both sides. Solving…

Products that have Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) designations are often the most trusted and readily accepted in space program designs. As designated by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the RT PolarFire FPGA from Microchip…

MIT engineers designed a system that can efficiently harness the sun's heat to split water and generate hydrogen. The goal is to produce green, carbon-free hydrogen fuel with a train-like system of reactors driven solely by the sun.…

In its innovation of unique technologies for use in space, NASA has developed and licensed a myriad of treatments and products, especially for those with injuries and disabilities. Examples include an “anti-gravity" treadmill used by…

Defects can make a material stronger or fail catastrophically. However, knowing how fast they travel helps researchers understand ruptures, structural failures, and precision manufacturing. Recently, scientists discovered that tiny linear…
