Tech Xplore / AI digital twins struggle to predict human behavior, creating 'funhouse mirror' distortions
While many fear artificial intelligence will replace humans, using AI to take over some human roles has benefits. Companies can use the technology to conduct surveys and polls, while behavioral scientists can run experiments ...
Dialog / Clean steels help reveal unique mechanisms of hydrogen induced cracking
Steel pipelines used for oil and gas transportation remain the backbone of energy infrastructure. Hence, there is heavy focus on their integrity and resistance to degradation in corrosive conditions. Sour corrosion, a dangerous ...
Tech Xplore / 'Safe query space' lets AI fix SQL errors without starting over
"Find the best-selling product from last year." When an AI system attempts to answer a question like this by querying a company database, even a single reference to a nonexistent item can cause the query to fail. Until now, ...
Tech Xplore / New manufacturing method makes heat-resistant materials in days, not months
A novel approach for making carbon-carbon composites could replace the slow, labor-intensive manufacturing process that has constrained the material's availability and driven up its cost.
Tech Xplore / Brain activity patterns could help sharpen LLM deductive reasoning
Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence systems underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other similar conversational agents, are now widely used worldwide. In addition to processing, interpreting ...
Tech Xplore / Transparent silicon-photonics chips could bring advanced optical systems to curved displays
The field of silicon photonics, which uses light rather than electricity to transmit and process data on semiconductor chips, has enabled optical systems to evolve from bulky setups to compact, advanced systems. Typically, ...
Tech Xplore / OpenAI begins rollout of new powerful AI model GPT-6 Astra
ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Thursday it would begin rolling out its newest and most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) model to select customers, saying it had built in safeguards to mitigate security risks.
Tech Xplore / 15-minute training helps people spot AI-generated faces
Researchers at the University of Southampton have come up with a way to help people spot AI-generated faces. They've developed a short training program that improves people's ability to distinguish between real, human faces ...
Tech Xplore / Supercooled water enables 3D printing of ice
Physicists from the University of Amsterdam have developed a method to print three-dimensional structures in ice. The researchers show how small pillars can be printed at an angle, making it possible to print arbitrary profiles ...
Tech Xplore / Improved method for producing sustainable hydrogen offers a surprising side benefit
Producing hydrogen is essential for some of the world's biggest industrial and agricultural needs, but it also comes with a steep environmental cost: Most hydrogen made today is generated through processes that release large ...
Tech Xplore / Why organic chemistry may help build AI that can explain its answers
While most believe artificial intelligence (AI) is changing science, researchers at the University of Notre Dame are exploring the reverse.
Tech Xplore / Study shows plug-in hybrids polluting far more than expected
Plug-in hybrids have enjoyed a surge in popularity, but a study published Thursday showed they are polluting far more than most buyers think because they rely on batteries less often than regulators expected.
