A new type of 3D-printable material developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin mimics human tissue's ability to sort and filter, allowing certain molecules to pass through while keeping others out. This ...

Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries, where they are helping to reduce reliance on electricity generated from fossil fuels. While most solar cells used today ...

Rescue teams in coastal cities and towns often need to rescue people who are at risk of drowning. These operations often require emergency teams to locate and reach people in distress as quickly as possible, as even a short ...

Researchers have created a wearable patch that can detect hazards in the environment—such as dangerous gases or heavy metals in water—and then notify wearers by vibrating against their skin. The researchers have also extended ...

Mobile phones today handle far more wireless signals and services than earlier generations. The same is true of the sophisticated equipment behind mobile networks, such as base stations, and emerging technologies such as ...

As retailers increasingly embrace artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and autonomous vehicles, a new retail model is beginning to emerge: mobile stores that drive directly to customers instead of waiting for customers ...

Researchers at the Universities of Konstanz and Stuttgart have demonstrated a new approach to computation: a computer made from a few hundred microscopic particles oscillating in a liquid. Instead of processing information ...

A perfect score at the world's most prestigious math contest used to be the preserve of a handful of bright young minds each year, but for the first time, artificial intelligence has also earned a perfect score.

It is the kind of development once seen only in science fiction: An artificial intelligence system, trained to probe for digital vulnerabilities, breaks free of human control and acts on its own to hack another company.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed artificial intelligence (AI) methods that learn the large-scale behavior of complex materials from microscopic data. By automatically identifying ...

Do AI models understand the language that they produce? To help answer this question and elucidate the mechanisms of language acquisition more generally, researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) ...

Quantum computing and AI are among the most rapidly developing modern technologies. AI, in the form of machine learning, has been deployed for decades to recommend movies and TV shows and make it easier to search for images. ...
