Solar cell, telescope and other optical component manufacturers may be able to design better devices more quickly with AI. OptoGPT, developed by University of Michigan engineers, harnesses the computer architecture underpinning ChatGPT to work backward from desired optical properties to the material structure that can provide them. The paper is published in the journal Opto-Electronic Advances.

Meta on Thursday said it would delay the release of its most powerful generative AI models in Europe because of what it called unpredictable EU regulation.

The oil painting depicts a woman standing on a podium, her arm aloft as she grasps a laurel crown in her hand. A scarlet cloak drapes across her chest as she stares at the viewer. To the naked eye, the painting looks like a normal piece in an online portfolio. But the version of the painting uploaded online belies a hidden defense system—a tool called Glaze that masks the artist's style and cloaks the art from use by generative AI.

The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has publicly released a new set of additive manufacturing data that industry and researchers can use to evaluate and improve the quality of 3D-printed components. The breadth of the datasets can significantly boost efforts to verify the quality of additively manufactured parts using only information gathered during printing, without requiring expensive and time-consuming post-production analysis.

Most people interact with maps regularly, for example, when they're trying to get from point A to point B, track the weather or plan a trip. But beyond those daily activities, maps are also increasingly being combined with artificial intelligence to create powerful tools for urban modeling, navigation systems, natural hazard forecasting and response, climate change monitoring, virtual habitat modeling and other kinds of surveillance.

Scientists have achieved a series of milestones in growing a high-quality thin film conductor, suggesting in a new study that the material is a promising candidate platform for future wearable electronics and other miniature applications.

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), have developed an innovative wearable fabric that is flexible but can stiffen on demand.

Metal batteries have the potential to deliver more energy, at a lower weight, than the popular lithium-ion battery. The problem, however, is that the technology currently has too short a lifespan due to the highly reactive nature of the lithium metal within these batteries.

Despite geopolitical uncertainties and restrictions on chip-related exports from the Netherlands to China, demand for ASML equipment in the Chinese mainland market remained strong, accounting for 49% of the Dutch company's net system sales in the second quarter.

Volkswagen on Wednesday launched its first coupe-styled sports utility vehicle, the ID.UNYX, boasting high-tech features such as more diversified choices

More than 500 million active users play games in China’s super app WeChat on a monthly basis, the company has said, an eye-catching figure that

A team of engineers at Beihang University, working with a colleague from Center of Advanced Aero-Engine, both in China, has developed a micro-aerial vehicle that flies using direct sunlight. They reported their results in the journal Nature.

Challengers is on sale. We repeat: Challengers is on sale.

These soundbar deals are too good to pass up.

In recent years, engineers and material scientists have introduced increasingly flexible electronics that could be used to create new wearable devices, such as smart watches, biosensors and health-monitoring technologies. To be safely worn by humans for prolonged periods of time, these electronics should also be permeable (i.e., letting air and humidity pass through) and bio-compatible (i.e., not harmful to the human body).

Public safety and health care organizations are using drones to speed up lifesaving treatment during medical emergencies in which every second counts.

Three events Wednesday highlighted the uneven progress of the offshore wind industry in the Northeast, including the start of a major project in New York, research aimed at preventing environmental damage in New Jersey, and a temporary shutdown of a wind farm in Massachusetts after a broken turbine blade washed ashore on a famous beach.

Samsung Electronics has bought a British startup that develops advanced AI technology, the South Korean tech giant said Thursday, as demand for its high-end chips used in artificial intelligence hardware surges.

Wolt was established in 2014 in Helsinki, Finland, as a convenient, fast and serviceable food delivery platform. It began operating in Israel in 2018.
