In the 17th century, German astronomer Johannes Kepler figured out the laws of motion that made it possible to accurately predict where our solar system's planets would appear in the sky as they orbit the sun. But it wasn't ...

A NIMS research team has discovered that the fatigue limit of steel is improved by prior cyclic deformation (fatigue) training. Based on this finding, the research team developed a novel pre-fatigue training technique, which ...

A study of how three popular artificial intelligence chatbots respond to queries about suicide found that they generally avoid answering questions that pose the highest risk to the user, such as for specific how-to guidance. ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed an inexpensive device that generates enough electricity to power a calculator using only waste walnut shells and drops of water. Their work is published in the journal ...

Recently, defect detection systems using artificial intelligence (AI) sensor data have been installed in smart factory manufacturing sites. However, when the manufacturing process changes due to machine replacement or variations ...

A research team from Skoltech, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, N.M. Emanuel Institute of Biochemical Physics RAS, and other scientific organizations has studied the effect of various types of defects on the mechanical ...

Meta has developed a new flat ultra-thin panel laser display that could lead to lighter, more immersive augmented reality (AR) glasses and improve the picture quality of smartphones, tablets and televisions. The new display ...

Addressing a major roadblock in next-generation photonic computing and signal processing systems, researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a device that can ...

A research team led by Prof. Zhao Shenlong from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed scalable metal-organic framework (MOF) electrodes for alkaline water ...

For decades, computing followed a simple rule: Smaller transistors made chips faster, cheaper, and more capable. As Moore's law slows, a different limit has come into focus. The challenge is no longer only computation; modern ...

A new system developed by Cornell Tech researchers helps users detect when their online accounts have been compromised—without exposing their personal devices to invasive tracking by web services.

An international team of researchers has put forward a framework that it argues can be used to answer one of the biggest questions facing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies: can AI be trusted? The framework offers ...
