Growing up in Spain, Cecilia Huertas Cerdeira was captivated by the elegant movements of aquatic life during frequent vacations to the Atlantic coast. Later, as a doctoral student at the California Institute of Technology, ...

Artificial intelligence powerhouse OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, on Monday announced it is building a more open generative AI model as it faces growing competition in the open-source space from Chinese rival DeepSeek and ...

Researchers have developed "infomorphic neurons" that learn independently, mimicking their biological counterparts more accurately than previous artificial neurons. A team of researchers from the Göttingen Campus Institute ...

Like a bumblebee flitting from flower to flower, a new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small targets. Less than 1 centimeter ...

Without the ability to control infrared light waves, autonomous vehicles wouldn't be able to quickly map their environment and keep "eyes" on the cars and pedestrians around them; augmented reality couldn't display realistic ...

A research team has identified a previously unknown degradation mechanism that occurs during the use of lithium-ion batteries. Their findings are published in Advanced Energy Materials.

Over the past year, AI researchers have found that when AI chatbots such as ChatGPT find themselves unable to answer questions that satisfy users' requests, they tend to offer false answers. In a new study, as part of a program ...

Researchers from the Chair of Optics and Photonics of Condensed Matter led by Prof. Dr. Carsten Deibel at the Chemnitz University of Technology and other partner institutions are currently working on solar cells made from ...

Many of the robotic systems developed in the past decades are inspired by four-legged (i.e., quadruped) animals, such as dogs, cheetahs and horses. By replicating the agile movements of these animals, quadruped robots could ...

In a potential step toward sending small spacecraft to the stars, researchers have developed an ultra-thin, ultra-reflective membrane designed to ride a column of laser light to incredible speeds.

Has Apple, the biggest company in the world, bungled its generative artificial intelligence strategy?

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have for the first time used DNA to help create 3D electronically operational devices with nanometer-size features.
