Tech Xplore / Revealing the hidden logic behind AI's judgments of people
In a world where artificial intelligence is quietly shaping who gets hired, who receives loans, and even how medical decisions are made, a new question is emerging: How does AI judge us? A new study by Prof. Yaniv Dover and ...
Tech Xplore / AI model simulates smartphone muscle effort, revealing which swipes are most tiring
Prolonged scrolling is bad for your well-being, but is it also physically tiring? Until now, we haven't really been able to say. This is why researchers from Aalto and Leipzig Universities created a new AI model that makes ...
Tech Xplore / This robot sees danger, decides its route and powers over obstacles while carrying loads
A KAIST research team has developed quadrupedal robot technology that not only enables walking by estimating terrain without visual information, but also allows the robot to perceive its surroundings through cameras and LiDAR ...
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 / 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 / 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 / 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 ...
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 / Neural interfaces that adapt to you: How game theory could improve wearables and implants
There is an exciting future on the horizon—one in which your thoughts could directly control electronic devices you use every day. In many ways, that future is already here, enabled by neural interfaces—engineered devices ...
Tech Xplore / Interface tweak triples graphene oxide fuel cell power density to 0.7 W/cm²
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 ...
