AI is our 'Promethean fire': Using it wisely means knowing its true nature and our own minds
2024-01-04 17:49:09
Future historians may well regard 2023 as a landmark in the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). But whether that future will prove utopian, apocalyptic or somewhere in between is anyone's guess.
Researchers 3D print components for a portable mass spectrometer
2024-01-04 14:12:49
Mass spectrometers, devices that identify chemical substances, are widely used in applications like crime scene analysis, toxicology testing, and geological surveying. But these machines are bulky, expensive, and easy to damage, which limits where they can be effectively deployed.
German car sales up in 2023 but electric models lose ground
2024-01-04 13:41:26
Sales of new cars in Germany increased in 2023, official data showed Thursday, but an end to government subsidy programs saw electric vehicles lose ground on fossil-fuel models.
Biden administration announces $162 million to expand computer chip factories in Colorado and Oregon

AI agents help explain other AI systems
2024-01-03 22:12:21
Explaining the behavior of trained neural networks remains a compelling puzzle, especially as these models grow in size and sophistication. Like other scientific challenges throughout history, reverse-engineering how artificial intelligence systems work requires a substantial amount of experimentation: making hypotheses, intervening on behavior, and even dissecting large networks to examine individual neurons.
Boosting solar cell performance with a transparent spectral converter
2024-01-03 21:09:43
Over the past decade, photovoltaic cells (PCs) have garnered much attention worldwide as promising sources of renewable energy. However, PCs still have not achieved light-to-electricity conversion efficiencies high enough to gain widespread adoption, and scientists are on the lookout for new materials and designs with better performance.
New tool will make math-heavy research papers easier to view online
2024-01-03 21:09:43
The complex formulas in physics, math and engineering papers might be intimidatingly difficult reading matter for some, but there are many people who have trouble merely seeing them in the first place. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a tool that makes these papers easier on the eyes for those with visual disabilities, and it's about to be adopted in a major way.
Researchers test novel drone navigation technology in an active Japanese tunnel construction site
2024-01-03 18:50:45
For drones to save lives in search and rescue missions, or even reliably deliver our packages, they need to navigate dynamic environments without accident. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have had success steering through open spaces time and time again, but the unpredictability of moving obstacles has been a challenge, especially in indoor environments with no GPS signals. Kenji Shimada and his students leaned into this problem to develop new technology that enables autonomous flights in indoor dynamic environments.
Researchers develop a new method for path-following performance of autonomous ships
2024-01-03 18:50:45
The rising popularity of autonomous vehicles has spurred significant research interest in the maritime industry, particularly for developing maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS). An essential requirement of MASS is the ability to follow a pre-determined sea path, considering obstacles, water depth, and ship maneuverability.
