Working together, the University of Innsbruck and the spin-off AQT have integrated a quantum computer into a high-performance computing (HPC) environment for the first time in Austria. This hybrid infrastructure of supercomputer and quantum computer can now be used to solve complex problems in various fields such as chemistry, materials science or optimization.

Google-parent Alphabet on Tuesday reported profit and revenue that beat expectations as its cloud and search ads businesses thrived.

NASA's X-66 aircraft, the centerpiece of its Sustainable Flight Demonstrator project, is taking the term "sustainable" to heart by reusing an old MD-90 cockpit as a base for its new X-66 simulator.

A research team led by faculty from Binghamton University, State University of New York has been exploring how mass layoffs and data breaches could be connected. Their theory: since layoffs create conditions where disgruntled employees face added stress or job insecurity, they are more likely to engage in risky behaviors that heighten the company's vulnerability to data breaches.

Wiz has rejected a reported $23 billion acquisition proposal from Google parent Alphabet—as the cybersecurity startup pivots back to a previously-planned initial public offering, according to a company memo seen by CNBC and others.

One thing that makes large language models (LLMs) so powerful is the diversity of tasks to which they can be applied. The same machine-learning model that can help a graduate student draft an email could also aid a clinician in diagnosing cancer.

Recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and computing have enabled the development of new tools for creating highly realistic media, virtual reality (VR) environments and video games. Many of these tools are now widely used by graphics designers, animated film creators and videogame developers worldwide.

On Friday, the world suffered what many have described as the largest IT outage in history, when 8.5 million Windows computers crashed and wouldn't restart.

Amazon might be stepping up requirements for its return-to-office mandate—and workers are feeling uneasy.

IMDEA Software researchers Facundo Molina, Juan Manuel Copia and Alessandra Gorla present FIXCHECK, a novel approach to improve patch fix analysis that combines static analysis, randomized testing and large language models.

In May, a multibillion-dollar UK-based multinational called Informa announced in a trading update that it had signed a deal with Microsoft involving "access to advanced learning content and data, and a partnership to explore AI expert applications." Informa is the parent company of Taylor & Francis, which publishes a wide range of academic and technical books and journals, so the data in question may include the content of these books and journals.

As the name suggests, most electronic devices today work through the movement of electrons. But materials that can efficiently conduct protons—the nucleus of the hydrogen atom—could be key to a number of important technologies for combating global climate change.

Fusion vessels have a Goldilocks problem: The plasma within needs to be hot enough to generate net power, but if it's too hot, it can damage the vessel's interior. Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are exploring ways to draw away excess heat, including several methods that use liquid metal.

Even the best AI large language models (LLMs) fail dramatically when it comes to simple logical questions. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Jülich Supercomputing Center (JSC), the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Bristol and the LAION AI laboratory.

Faced with the world's impending freshwater scarcity, a team of researchers in Singapore turned to solar steam generators (SSGs), which are emerging as a promising device for seawater desalination. Desalination can be a costly, energy-intensive solution to water scarcity.

Today's athletes are always on the lookout for new techniques and equipment to help them train more effectively. Modern coaches and sports trainers use intelligent data monitoring through videos and wearable sensors to help enhance athletic conditioning. However, traditional video analysis and wearable sensor technologies often fall short when tasked with producing a comprehensive picture of an athlete's performance.

After China's Shenzhou-18 crew smoothly delivered their first spacewalk in early July, the three taikonauts recently conducted a series of examination and maintenance works on the Tiangong space station, as well as a full-system emergency drill in case of internal pressure loss in the space station due to potential space debris impact, China Central Television (CCTV) reported Sunday.

To comply with US export control policies, NVIDIA is developing a modified version of its AI chip based on the new Blackwell GPU architecture for the

The move illustrates Taobao’s efforts to tap into a broader global market while also engaging in competition with Pinduoduo at home.

Volkswagen and Xpeng Motors on Monday announced moves that will expand their partnership to develop a highly modern electrical/electronic architecture not
