A team of roboticists at the Chinese University of Hong Kong has created a robot snail with a helmet-like shell that moves by rolling around on bulldozer-like tracks. They have published a paper on their research in Nature Communications.

We are living in a very noisy world. From the hum of traffic outside your window to the next-door neighbor's blaring TV to sounds from a co-worker's cubicle, unwanted noise remains a resounding problem.

Large language models (LLMs) are advanced AI-based dialogue systems that can answer user queries and generate convincing texts following human instructions. After the advent of ChatGPT, the highly performing model developed by OpenAI, these models have become increasingly popular, and more companies are now investing in their development.

Based on information from the Xiaomi HypeOS source code, Xiaomi is preparing to launch the CIVI 4 Pro Disney Princess Edition in the coming weeks

We now have a launch window, but details will take some time.

Amazon said Tuesday it would invest US$9 billion in Singapore over the next four years to expand its cloud computing capabilities in the city.

Biden has signed a bill to ban TikTok. But it’s not over yet.

Cybersecurity programs vary dramatically across the country, a review has found. The authors argue that program leaders should work with professional societies to make sure graduates are well-trained to meet industry needs in a fast-changing field.

The Wells Notice is a harbinger of potential legal action about to be taken against the trading app.

Is it a “false solution” for climate change?

A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has proposed a novel design methodology for Gaussian random number (GRN) generators tailored for SerDes simulation systems.

Collaborating on a physical object when two people aren't in the same room can be extremely challenging, but a new remote conferencing system allows the remote user to manipulate a view of the scene in 3D, to assist in complex tasks like debugging complicated hardware.

The news about the Israel-Hamas war is filled with reports of Israeli families huddling in fear from relentless rocket attacks, Israeli tanks and artillery flattening buildings in the Gaza Strip, hundreds of kidnapped hostages imprisoned in subterranean tunnels, and millions of people driven from their homes by fighting.

A new study has found that when people are presented with two answers to an ethical question, most will think the answer from artificial intelligence (AI) is better than the response from another person.

AI expert Professor Kevin Wong from Murdoch University's School of Information Technology says in order to deal with the problem of cultural biases in AI, it's important to understand the fundamentals of different AI techniques.

Motorcycles are designed to accommodate the average-sized rider, leaving taller and shorter riders vulnerable to discomfort.

Seeking to improve the practicality of optical neural networks that use wavelength division multiplexing, a research team developed a structure called multiplexed neuron sets and a corresponding backpropagation training algorithm.

You might have seen viral videos of Wendy's drive-thru customers in the United States ordering their fast food from the firm's generative AI bot Wendy's FreshAI. Most show a very human-like transaction punctuated with cries of amazement at how fast, accurate and polite the system is.

Milk and cookies. Peanut butter and jelly. Macaroni and cheese. All delightfully perfect pairs. Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) discovered another promising pair: marine energy and additive manufacturing.

In the ongoing quest to make electronic devices ever smaller and more energy efficient, researchers want to bring energy storage directly onto microchips, reducing the losses incurred when power is transported between various device components. To be effective, on-chip energy storage must be able to store a large amount of energy in a very small space and deliver it quickly when needed—requirements that can't be met with existing technologies.
