Watching 3D movies and TV shows is a fun and exciting experience, where images leap out of the screen. To get this effect, you usually have to wear a special pair of glasses. But that could soon be a thing of the past as ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) have extracted the building blocks of precise hand gestures used in the classical Indian dance form Bharatanatyam—and found a richer "alphabet" of movement ...

Cornell researchers have developed a new transistor architecture that could reshape how high-power wireless electronics are engineered, while also addressing supply chain vulnerabilities for a critical semiconductor material.

While burning electric vehicles, exploding e-bikes and melting smartphones no longer make the headlines, the issue of battery safety has yet to be fully resolved. To address this, UBC researchers recently made a crucial breakthrough ...

To make large language models (LLMs) more accurate when answering harder questions, researchers can let the model spend more time thinking about potential solutions.

Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey. They transform their bodies to match the colors of nearby ...

A paper co-authored by Prof. Alex Lew has been selected as one of four "Outstanding Papers" at this year's Conference on Language Modeling (COLM 2025), held in Montreal in October.

Growing energy demand means the U.S. will almost certainly have to expand its electricity grid in coming years. What's the best way to do this? A new study by MIT researchers examines legislation introduced in Congress and ...

EPFL scientists have integrated discarded crustacean shells into robotic devices, leveraging the strength and flexibility of natural materials for robotic applications.

Embodied artificial intelligence (AI) systems are robotic agents that rely on machine learning algorithms to sense their surroundings, plan their actions and execute them. A key aspect of these systems are visual perception ...

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through tight spaces larger robots ...

Developers can now integrate large language models directly into their existing software using a single line of code, with no manual prompt engineering required. The open-source framework, known as byLLM, automatically generates ...
