Humanoid robots, robotic systems with limbs and body structures that resemble those of humans, could tackle various manual tasks in homes, workspaces and other settings. Yet teaching these robots to reliably perform different ...

A guiding principle for many software engineers—"What you see is what you get" —means creating programs where the content you're editing looks the same as the final product. But when you're using generative AI (genAI) systems ...

A new approach to computing has quietly taken shape at Sandia National Laboratories, where researchers have developed a way to store information that could make future electronics more energy efficient.

Scientists project that by 2050, nearly half the global urban population will not have enough potable water—a 50% increase since 2016. New and sustainable methods for desalination are needed, and Cornell researchers have ...

When a website loads quickly or an operating system runs smoothly, you can thank caching—a widely used computing process for fast data access that works by storing frequently used pieces of data in a computer's memory.

Apple on Wednesday unveiled its latest generation of iPhones, including a widely anticipated foldable version called Duo.

When a phone is lost or stolen, reporting it to a cellular carrier is supposed to prevent unauthorized use. Michigan State University researchers have found that weaknesses in the reporting system itself could potentially ...

Cable television (CATV) remains a cornerstone of how national broadcasts and emergency information reach thousands of households. Unfortunately, many older apartment buildings were not built with fiber-optic wiring in mind, ...

Quantum error correction must detect and correct errors without directly reading the quantum information. Classical low-density parity check (LDPC) codes have a well-established design theory: by choosing how many checks ...

Researchers in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering and the Centre for Advanced Semiconductors and Integrated Circuits (CASIC) at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made ...

A working prototype that can see, remember and interact with the world like the human brain could one day underpin smart bionic eyes while using far less energy than today's technologies. The invention from RMIT University ...

Almost all the energy that flows into computing devices is eventually squandered as waste heat.
