The US government is lobbying Council of Europe members to weaken an international treaty on human rights and AI software by exempting private vendors from compliance. Diplomats are meeting in Strasbourg, France, this week to…
To advance automobile decarbonization, a research team at Osaka Metropolitan University analyzed how alloy elements like titanium improve steel’s performance by optimizing bonding processes, contributing to lighter, more durable electric motors. Calculations explore how twelve…
Microsoft and Google, who saw cloud revenue slow in recent quarters, are reporting a resurgence of growth due to the proliferation of generative AI (genAI). Both companies on Tuesday reported revenue numbers for the final…
PlatoNeRF, created by MIT and Meta, employs multibounce lidar and machine learning to enable autonomous vehicles to detect hidden obstacles. This innovative technique, which also assists in AR/VR and robotics, uses shadows to generate precise…
Apple Vision Pro just shipped. Reviewers say the technology inside is magnificent and unprecedented, but the experience of using it still flawed. But by the end of the year, some 400,000 units could well be…
In the name of security, the UK government may well have put a cybersecurity target on the nation’s back, with Apple once again warning that proposed changes to the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 are a “serious…
A research team has developed a novel “pulse-shaped” light method to enhance the electrical conductivity of PbS quantum dot solar cells. This new technique, which replaces the lengthy traditional heat treatment process, generates substantial energy…
Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for…
