Tech Xplore / HarmonyGNN boosts graph AI accuracy on four tough benchmarks by up to 9.6%
Researchers have demonstrated a new training technique that significantly improves the accuracy of graph neural networks (GNNs)—AI systems used in applications from drug discovery to weather forecasting. GNNs are AI systems ...
Tech Xplore / Humanoid robots show off their language and boxing skills in Hong Kong
A humanoid robot about the size of a primary school student had something to share in Hong Kong—it sang songs and spoke to people in Mandarin and English, answering whatever questions they posed and delighting the audience ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum computers are coming to break our codes faster than anyone expected
Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world's supercomputers, working together ...
Tech Xplore / Can hyper-real virtual worlds make us feel better?
Virtual reality tools have untapped potential to elicit positive emotions for use in education, health care, architecture and psychological therapy, according to a recent study from Murdoch University that looked at four ...
Tech Xplore / AI models can fake visual understanding of images that don't exist
It wasn't long ago that news headlines claimed that AI might soon assist radiologists in interpreting X-rays of broken bones and analyzing mammograms. We are still far from the destination, as a new study has brought to light ...
Tech Xplore / One tiny diode could shrink image sensors by adding memory and processing
P-n diodes are two-terminal devices that consist of two types of semiconductor materials (i.e., a p-type and an n-type material) joined together. These components allow electric current to only move in one direction, which ...

A breakthrough in interface engineering clears the path for sustainable, high-power hydrogen energy. As the world races toward a hydrogen-based society, the quest for a truly green fuel cell has faced a persistent material ...
Tech Xplore / A hardware-software co-design can efficiently run AI on edge devices
A new hardware-software co-design increases AI energy efficiency and reduces latency, enabling real-time processing of continuous data streams like video or sensor feeds. The neuromorphic approach unlocks the ability to run ...
Tech Xplore / Mythos AI alarm bells: Fair warning or marketing hype?
Anthropic postponing the release of its new AI model Claude Mythos, said to be so skilled at coding it could be a wicked weapon for hackers, has encountered a mix of alarm and skepticism.
Tech Xplore / After Anthropic's Mythos AI uncovers thousands of zero-day bugs, top US officials huddle with bank CEOs
The heads of America's biggest banks met this week with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to weigh the security implications of a new artificial intelligence system developed by Anthropic, ...
Tech Xplore / When AI meets muscle: Context-aware electrical stimulation guides humans through new movements
Imagine traveling in a foreign country, reaching for a window you've never seen before, and instead of struggling to open it, you feel your own muscles gently guide you through the motion, as if an invisible teacher was there, ...
