: A new working paper attempts to quantify the importance of more powerful computers for improving outcomes across society. In it, researchers analyzed five areas where computation is critical, including weather forecasting, oil exploration, and…
With a 73 percent positive predictive value, the AI technique accurately identified 80 percent of the instances of plaque erosion. Utilizing intravascular optical coherence tomography images, a new technique made it easier to identify plaque…
They discovered that the AI system they looked at expresses word meanings in a manner that closely resembles human judgment. Models for natural language processing use statistics to collect a wealth of information about word…

Perovskites are widely seen as the likely platform for next-generation solar cells, replacing silicon because of its easier manufacturing process, lower cost, and greater flexibility. Just what is this unusual, complex crystal and why does…
In order to increase the quality of the electricity in urban areas, a new energy storage idea suggests that we transform tall buildings into batteries. Scientists propose converting tall buildings into batteries In order to…
Researchers at the University of Central Florida have created AI technology that mimics the human eye. The technology might result in highly developed artificial intelligence that can instantaneously understand what it sees and has uses…
A picture of the origami millirobot that can move by spinning. This robot waits to deliver a high-concentration medicament until it reaches the target, as opposed to pills that must be ingested or liquids that must…
The liquid metal batteries invented by Donald Sadoway consist of three liquid layers of different densities, which naturally separate in the same way as oil and vinegar do in a salad dressing. The middle layer…
