Many animal species, ranging from insects to amphibians and fish, use jumping as a means of moving within their surrounding environment. Jumping can be very advantageous for these animals, for instance, allowing them to reach higher branches of trees, swiftly escape from predators or move faster across long distances.

Research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology may soon help solve a long-standing challenge in semiconductor manufacture: the accurate detection of surface defects on silicon wafers. Crystalline silicon is the critical material used in the production of integrated circuits and in order to provide the computing power for everyday electronics and advanced automotive systems needs to be as pristine as possible prior to printing of the microscopic features of the circuit on the silicon surface.

TikTok faced pushback in a federal court on Monday in its efforts to stop a law that requires the app to divest from its Chinese ownership or face a ban in the United States.

SUNY Poly Assistant Professor Dr. Mahmoud Badr and peers recently published research titled "Reinforcement Learning for Fair and Efficient Charging Coordination for Smart Grid," in the journal Energies. The research investigates the use of reinforcement learning (RL) to improve the coordination of home battery system charging in a smart grid.

Statistics Canada recently released a detailed report estimating which professions are likely to be affected by artificial intelligence in the next few years.

A QUT study of blockchain hesitancy in accounting found participants agreed on its efficiency and transparency but were deterred by blockchain's complexity and cost of integration into existing accounting systems.

Researchers have found that AI large language models, like GPT-4, are better at predicting what comes next than what came before in a sentence. This "Arrow of Time" effect could reshape our understanding of the structure of natural language, and the way these models understand it.

Researchers from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a novel autofocus method that harnesses the power of deep learning to dynamically select regions of interest in grayscale images. The study was published in the journal Sensors.

Outside an Audi factory in Brussels described by the German carmaker as the "cradle" of its electric drive, around 200 picketing workers huddled around a bonfire in the morning drizzle.

If you care about the environment, think twice about using AI. Generative artificial intelligence uses 30 times more energy than a traditional search engine, warns researcher Sasha Luccioni, on a mission to raise awareness about the environmental impact of the hot new technology.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has notoriously struggled to create consistent images, often getting details like fingers and facial symmetry wrong. Moreover, these models can completely fail when prompted to generate images at different image sizes and resolutions.

Chinese automaker Chery Auto is considering the likelihood of making vehicles in the UK, which could become the company’s second major production hub in

China’s Tsinghua University-backed Shengshu Technology has showcased a subject consistency feature for its AI video generation model Vidu, just over a month after the product became available for global users.

Temu has overtaken eBay as the world’s second most-visited e-commerce website, just two years after its initial launch, data from SimilarWeb shows, as the

China’s giant retailer JD announced it will take two years to realize a 20-month salary per year for retail employees, with the company’s other sectors to

Jiyue, a Chinese electric vehicle brand co-developed by automaker Geely and search engine Baidu, on Tuesday launched its second model enabled by an

The center will also include more than 50 research labs for emerging technologies such as nanoscale photonic physics.

Beijing’s Haidian District issued the city's first food operating license for embodied AI robots this week, with state media outlet People’s Daily saying

The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to process large amounts of data has increased the need for better performing memory devices. The data storage solutions that could help to meet the computational demands of AI include so-called high-bandwidth memories, technologies that can increase the memory bandwidth of computer processors, speeding up the transfer of data and reducing power consumption.

US firefighters used some 190,000 liters of water to extinguish a blaze involving an electric Tesla Semi truck this month following a crash, a government agency said.
