To stay up to date and work forward in their fields, scientists must have at their fingertips and in their minds thousands of published studies. Large language models (LLMs) show promise as a tool for exploring the vast scientific ...

For years, the guiding assumption of artificial intelligence has been simple: an AI is only as good as the data it has seen. Feed it more, train it longer, and it performs better. Feed it less, and it stumbles. A new study ...

Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale structures are carved into materials to form the circuits inside everything ...

Researchers at Tohoku University, working with international collaborators in France, have developed an ultrafine "soft yarn" actuator fiber capable of bending, contracting, and producing complex three-dimensional movements ...

Researchers at the University at Albany and Rutgers University have developed an early-warning framework that can predict harmful social media interactions before they erupt, paving the way for interventions that can minimize ...

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing is outpacing the ability of many community water systems to deliver large bursts of water on the hottest days of the year to keep the nation's data processing ...

A new type of robotic hand developed at The University of Texas at Austin demonstrates such sensitive touch that it can grasp objects as fragile as a potato chip or a raspberry without crushing them. The technology, called ...

Tiny electronic devices, called microelectronics, may one day be printed as easily as words on a page, thanks to new research from scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. Building ...

An AI defense system has successfully detected and neutralized sophisticated 5G cyber-attacks in less than a tenth of a second, paving the way for more secure 5G and future 6G mobile networks, say researchers at the University ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are primarily thought of as environmental pollutants, and most research on them focuses on removing them from the environment. Rice researcher James Tour, however, has ...

What started out as a response to labor shortages in poultry processing plants during the COVID-19 pandemic has turned into a robotics system that can learn by imitating human movements to handle chickens. Using an advanced ...

When a group of researchers at Northeastern University's Bau Lab began toying with a new kind of autonomous artificial intelligence "agent," it was supposed to be a fun weekend experiment. Instead, alarm bells started ringing. ...
