Tech Xplore / Google announces slew of AI advances, including a personal AI assistant coming soon
Google will soon unleash a wealth of new artificial intelligence-powered tools and systems, including an AI assistant that will help users by proactively performing tasks on their behalf.
Tech Xplore / Turning surroundings into a 'virtual screen' could help machines see better in 3D
Imagine navigating a city street during rush hour—cars and bikes zipping by, pedestrians hustling down a crowded sidewalk, your eyes adjusting to the shop windows' glare in one moment and a dark underpass the next. Our brain, ...
Tech Xplore / Crashes with consequences: Serial code-reuse attack SFOP breaks Intel CET in Linux
A code-reuse attack named "Segmentation Fault Oriented Programming (SFOP)" exploits weaknesses in signal handling and Intel CET in Linux systems. SFOP is capable of bypassing Intel CET in any program by producing segmentation ...
Tech Xplore / Alibaba unveils new AI chip as Nvidia access remains stalled
Tech giant Alibaba released on Wednesday a new artificial intelligence chip it said performed three times as well as its predecessor, showcasing growing domestic chipmaker prowess as US titan Nvidia struggles for access to ...
Tech Xplore / Recyclable resin enables high-precision 3D printing and reuse across 10 cycles
Once only achievable in the far-fetched imaginations of science fiction writers, 3D printing has gone mainstream. Relatively inexpensive machines allow individuals to design and print everything from board games and desk ...
Tech Xplore / AI can seem more human than real humans in a classic Turing test
A new University of California San Diego study unveils the first empirical evidence that a modern artificial intelligence system can pass the Turing test—a major scientific benchmark that asks whether a machine can imitate ...
Tech Xplore / Solar power leaves land behind as floating systems gain ground
The effects of global warming are becoming increasingly evident and catastrophic. To prevent irreversible consequences, international scientific consensus emphasizes the importance of mitigating climate change in ways that ...
Tech Xplore / Open-source framework lets drones dodge obstacles in milliseconds while minimizing travel time
In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs) could fly through a collapsed building to map the scene, giving rescuers information they need to quickly reach survivors. But this remains an ...
Tech Xplore / Scalable manufacturing of perovskite photovoltaics achieved through fast, solvent-free vacuum deposition
Solar energy is a cornerstone of the energy transition. Tandem solar cells made of perovskite and silicon can achieve higher efficiencies than conventional silicon cells, but their industrial manufacturing remains a challenge. ...
Tech Xplore / Full fossil fuel phase-out by 2050 would require up to 80% more electricity generation
New research by an international team of scientists finds that fully phasing out fossil fuels worldwide by 2050 would require global electricity generation to expand by roughly 60 to 80% beyond the levels projected in conventional ...
Tech Xplore / Toward power-generating displays: A single device that harvests and emits light
A newly developed organic semiconductor device can both generate electricity from light and emit bright visible light, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. By carefully designing a material where energy losses are ...
Tech Xplore / Custom device maps carbon capture reactions in real time
Removing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air, a process called direct air capture (or DAC), is one of several approaches being developed to help reduce the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Among ...
