Thanks to a technique developed by researchers at NC State University, autonomous vehicles might one day be able to navigate the roadways much better. The technique allows artificial intelligence programs to more accurately map three-dimensional spaces using two-dimensional images.

Researchers at the University of Virginia have made a significant advancement in manufacturing technology by developing an AI-driven system that could transform how factories operate. Using Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), the team has created a more efficient way to optimize manufacturing systems, improving both speed and quality while reducing waste.

In new research published in the journal Fuel, Baylor University researchers with the Cornerstone Atomization and Combustion Lab (CAC) have unveiled a pioneering method for the efficient combustion of biofuels, using a revolutionary Swirl Burst (SB) injector to burn glycerol/methanol blends with near-zero emissions. This new technology enables ultra-clean combustion of fuels that are typically difficult to burn due to their high viscosity.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning models have advanced rapidly, becoming easily accessible. This has enabled people, even those without specialized expertise, to perform various tasks with AI. Among these models, generative adversarial networks (GANs) stand out for their outstanding performance in generating new data instances with the same characteristics as the training data, making them particularly effective for generating images, music, and text.

What if a security camera could not only capture video but understand what's happening—distinguishing between routine activities and potentially dangerous behavior in real time? That's the future being shaped by researchers at the University of Virginia's School of Engineering and Applied Science with their latest breakthrough: an AI-driven intelligent video analyzer capable of detecting human actions in video footage with unprecedented precision and intelligence.

Not only are select prebuilt PCs discounted by $600, but you can enter a promo code to save up to an additional $300.

A research team from the Skoltech Energy Center, led by Distinguished Professor and director of the center Artem Abakumov, secured a patent for high-capacity cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries made from layered nickel-rich transition metal oxides, as well as a new hydrothermal microwave-assisted approach for their production.

The advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked concerns about the diminishing value of traditional art forms and the potential for substitution. Nonetheless, through their fusion, they offer new avenues for conserving art and culture while also igniting interest in passing down the heritage from generation to generation.

From the mind-bending reality warps of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) to the breathtaking alien vistas of Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), visual effects have transported us to worlds beyond imagination. Yet the future of visual effects (VFX) could hang in the balance as artificial intelligence is subsumed into screen production processes.

Estimates suggest that 4 million parcels are delivered every day in Spain, most of which are destined for the metropolitan areas of large cities, which is where 55% of the country's population lives.

A new world record in wireless transmission, promising faster and more reliable wireless communications, has been set by researchers from UCL.

Researchers at Apple Computer Company have found evidence, via testing, showing that the seemingly intelligent responses given by AI-based LLMs are little more than an illusion. In their paper posted on the arXiv preprint server, the researchers argue that after testing several LLMs, they found that they are not capable of performing genuine logical reasoning.

A wave of touching photos showing great moments in time is fascinating amateur historians online. The problem? They are not real—and may be clouding our view of the past.

Artificial intelligence is making its way into your favorite movies and TV shows, bringing with it plenty of fear and anxiety from those who work in and around the entertainment industry.

Imagine tires that charge a vehicle as it drives, streetlights powered by the rumble of traffic, or skyscrapers that generate electricity as the buildings naturally sway and shudder.

The ocean has a hidden talent, honed over millennia: the ability to capture and store vast quantities of carbon dioxide, a key driver of climate change. However, the ocean's natural carbon capture cycles, which take hundreds of thousands of years, cannot keep pace with human-generated carbon emissions. The global shipping industry alone contributes roughly 3% of global CO2 emissions.

Argonne scientists are leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to transform energy grid asset maintenance, helping U.S. power companies identify and address problems before they even occur.

The global shift to electric vehicles is gaining momentum, yet the extraction of battery materials has a significant environmental footprint that comes with high costs.

Researchers at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a sustainable and controllable strategy to manipulate interfacial heat transfer, paving the way for improving the performance of eco-friendly cooling in various applications such as electronics, buildings and solar panels.

Following the close of markets today, Nvidia officially passed Microsoft in market capitalization to grab the number one spot.
