Tech Xplore / AI may cut junior coding tasks and weaken the pipeline to senior developers
New research suggests that generative artificial intelligence (AI) could weaken not only employment opportunities for junior software developers but also the pathway through which they develop into senior professionals.
Tech Xplore / AI could soon infer human intent by sensing "that's not what I meant" through neural feedback
A future in which AI can recognize a person's unspoken "that's not what I meant" response from brain signals and adjust its behavior on its own is coming closer. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that detects ...
Tech Xplore / Training fix could let AI-generated scenes respond properly to a user's controls
AI systems that generate video frame by frame could follow a user's camera commands far more accurately, thanks to a new training method developed by researchers from the University of Surrey and NVIDIA. This improvement ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired computing: Using noise to regulate information flow in neural networks
Researchers have developed a learning mechanism that uses the natural variability of neural activity—often dismissed as random "noise"—to understand how synapses buried deep inside brain networks—or brain-inspired devices—can ...
Tech Xplore / Machine learning uncovers how battery interphases can boost lithium-ion transport
Sandwiched between the electrolyte and electrodes in a lithium-ion battery is a remarkably thin layer of material that strongly dictates battery performance and durability: the interphase. Although typically only a few to ...
Tech Xplore / AI framework generates more realistic 4D LiDAR worlds for autonomous systems
Autonomous vehicles and robots need to understand a world that is constantly moving. Vehicles change lanes, pedestrians cross streets, and the roadscape can shift from one moment to the next.
Tech Xplore / Unexpectedly rigid polymers boost ion transport in hydrogen fuel cell membranes
Hydrogen fuel cells are a promising clean-energy technology with the potential to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions if widely adopted. As they generate electricity, the only byproduct of their reactions is water. ...
Tech Xplore / AI controller translates VR, video and language commands into humanoid robot actions
Humanoid robots, robotic systems with limbs and body structures that resemble those of humans, could tackle various manual tasks in homes, workspaces and other settings. Yet teaching these robots to reliably perform different ...
Tech Xplore / New software tool lets users repair AI-generated 3D models, then fabricate them just the way they want
A guiding principle for many software engineers—"What you see is what you get" —means creating programs where the content you're editing looks the same as the final product. But when you're using generative AI (genAI) systems ...
Tech Xplore / New analog memory may make smart devices even smarter
A new approach to computing has quietly taken shape at Sandia National Laboratories, where researchers have developed a way to store information that could make future electronics more energy efficient.
Tech Xplore / Ultrablack wool offers a sustainable route to low-cost water purification
Scientists project that by 2050, nearly half the global urban population will not have enough potable water—a 50% increase since 2016. New and sustainable methods for desalination are needed, and Cornell researchers have ...
Tech Xplore / A 60-year-old computing strategy gets an update for AI-era data centers
When a website loads quickly or an operating system runs smoothly, you can thank caching—a widely used computing process for fast data access that works by storing frequently used pieces of data in a computer's memory.
