Tech Xplore / Small changes make some AI systems more brain-like than others
Artificial intelligence systems that are designed with a biologically inspired architecture can simulate human brain activity before ever being trained on any data, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University.
Tech Xplore / Advances in spacecraft control: New algorithm guarantees precision under extreme disturbances
An international team of researchers has unveiled a spacecraft attitude control system that can guarantee precise stabilization and maneuvering within a predefined time, even under extreme and unpredictable space disturbances.
Tech Xplore / Serendipitous observation reveals how airplanes discharge static electricity
An international team of scientists, led by Olaf Scholten, professor of astrophysics at the University of Groningen, has observed radio wave emissions originating from a commercial airliner, most likely caused by the discharge ...
Tech Xplore / Green electronics: Smart sensor tag protects sensitive goods
Researchers from Empa, EPFL and CSEM have developed a green smart sensing tag that measures temperature and humidity in real time—and can also detect whether a temperature threshold has been exceeded. In the future, this ...
Tech Xplore / Single molecular membrane can make lithium batteries safer and longer-lasting
A team of Korean scientists has developed a separator technology that dramatically reduces the explosion risk of lithium batteries while doubling their lifespan. Like an ultra-thin bulletproof vest protecting both sides, ...
Tech Xplore / BrainBody-LLM algorithm helps robots mimic human-like planning and movement
Large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of OpenAI's platform ChatGPT, are now widely used to tackle a wide range of tasks, ranging from sourcing information to the generation of texts ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers extend tensor programming to the continuous world
When the FORTRAN programming language debuted in 1957, it transformed how scientists and engineers programmed computers. Complex calculations could suddenly be expressed in concise, math-like notation using arrays—collections ...
Tech Xplore / All-solid-state batteries: New findings on space charge effects could improve efficiency
Batteries are found in many devices. The development of solid-state batteries that provide higher working voltage, have a higher capacity, and can no longer burn is the subject of current research. Researchers at the Max ...
Tech Xplore / Humans and AI models show similar confusion when reading tricky program code
Researchers from Saarland University and the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems have, for the first time, shown that the reactions of humans and large language models (LLMs) to complex or misleading program code significantly ...
Tech Xplore / Intelligent photodetectors 'sniff and seek' like retriever dogs to recognize materials directly from light spectra
