Tech Xplore / New 3D benchmark leaves AI in knots
Today's artificial intelligence models can't even tie their own shoes.
Tech Xplore / How AI helps solve problems it doesn't even understand
Researchers at TU Wien have discovered an unexpected connection between two very different areas of artificial intelligence: Large Language Models (LLMs) can help solve logical problems—without actually "understanding" ...
Tech Xplore / Harry Potter-style 'moving invisibility cloak' technology developed
What do Harry Potter's invisibility cloak and stealth fighter jets that evade radar have in common? They both make objects invisible despite their physical presence. Building upon this concept, a research team has taken it ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers reveal bias in a widely used measure of algorithm performance
When scientists test algorithms that sort or classify data, they often turn to a trusted tool called Normalized Mutual Information (or NMI) to measure how well an algorithm's output matches reality. But according to new research, ...
Tech Xplore / Assumptions about battery failure challenged: Single-crystal materials require different approach than expected
New research from Argonne National Laboratory and the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) has solved a major battery mystery that has led to capacity degradation, shortened lifespan and, in some ...
Tech Xplore / MXene-based e-tattoos harvest energy and monitor health in real time
Researchers at Boise State University have developed a breakthrough in wearable electronics: a multifunctional electronic tattoo (e‑tattoo) that integrates energy harvesting, energy storage, and real‑time biometric sensing ...
Tech Xplore / Transparency in AI companies falls to new low
A new analysis finds that AI companies now average just 40 out of 100 on transparency, marking a significant decline from last year.
Tech Xplore / 'Robot, make me a chair': AI-driven system designs, builds multicomponent objects from user prompts
Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But CAD software requires extensive expertise to master, and many tools incorporate such a high level ...
Tech Xplore / Detecting distant vehicles for safer roads: A new camera-based technique sees farther
Road accidents often stem from failing to notice vehicles. A study published in the journal IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems introduces a method for detecting distant vehicles with over twice the accuracy ...
Tech Xplore / Sound-based sensor pinpoints helium leaks using traditional bamboo weaving design
Helium leaks are hard to detect. Helium is odorless, colorless, tasteless, and does not react with other chemical substances. Not only can we not see or smell it, but traditional gas sensors have trouble detecting the element ...
Tech Xplore / Professors and students create face-reading software that helps people communicate and move
Observing a young man in a wheelchair with motor impairment struggle to communicate with his parents profoundly affected Chetan Jaiswal.
Tech Xplore / Resolving to spend less time on your smartphone? Understanding your travel habits can help, say researchers
If you open a banking app, play a mobile game or scroll through a news feed every day while riding the bus, your commuting routine is probably bolstering your smartphone habit, according to new research that shows phone tendencies ...
