All ordinary matter is composed of atoms, whose nuclei consist of protons and neutrons. These particles, known as hadrons, are made of more fundamental building blocks called quarks. A strong nuclear ...

Researchers show that when image-generating and image-describing AIs iteratively pass the same scene back and forth, they rapidly drift away from the original prompt and converge on a small set of ...

Tensor operations underpin nearly every modern computational system, especially artificial intelligence. These operations go far beyond basic arithmetic; they resemble rotating or slicing a Rubik’s ...

A new Dartmouth investigation reveals that artificial intelligence, when combined with carefully curated source material, can deliver individualized educational support at scale. The work also offers ...

A next-generation fire suppression system, capable of autonomously detecting oil fires aboard naval vessels and precisely targeting and extinguishing them, even in maritime environments, has been ...

An out-of-this-world idea: placing data centres in space could pave the way for sustainable computing with unlimited solar energy and free cooling, say scientists from NTU Singapore. The researchers ...

As AI edges closer to mimicking awareness, scientists say that decoding consciousness is no longer a purely philosophical endeavor, it’s essential for guiding medicine, law, and the moral limits of ...

The artificial intelligence (AI) boom has created unprecedented demands for data traffic. But the infrastructure needed to support it faces mounting challenges. AI data centers must deliver faster, ...

With the proliferation of online hate speech, which research shows can increase political polarization and damage mental health, leading artificial intelligence companies have released large language ...

A new gold-standard dataset reveals how hard it is to get accurate emissions data from company reports, even for AI, raising questions about the reliability of automated climate accountability tools.

A breakthrough light-based chip could revolutionize AI by cutting energy demands while preserving high performance, paving the way for faster and greener computing systems. A new semiconductor chip ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to understand escalating unrest in Italy's Campi Flegrei, a volcanic area that is home to hundreds of thousands of people. Like adjusting a camera lens to ...
