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.

Deepfake videos generated by artificial intelligence grow increasingly difficult to identify as false, a challenge that could significantly skew the results of the upcoming presidential election.

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.

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.

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.

The former President was unharmed, and a suspect has been arrested after shots were fired while Trump was golfing in Florida.

New research has answered the mystery of how the Crystal Palace in London, which at the time was the world's largest building, was constructed in only 190 days.

Sharing infrastructure for transporting and storing captured carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across multiple industrial facilities could cut costs by more than 60% and reduce pipeline buildout by more than 75% in Louisiana, according to new research led by engineers at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment.

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.

Australia has debated and studied high-speed rail for four decades. The High Speed Rail Authority has begun work on a project that could finally deliver some high-speed rail in the 2030s.

New Zealand's current electricity supply crisis requires immediate solutions.

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.

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

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.

The new wave of artificial intelligence—so-called AI—is bringing with it promises as well as threats.

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.

TikTok will attempt to convince a federal court on Monday that a law requiring the video-sharing app to divest from its Chinese ownership or face a ban in the United States is unconstitutional.

Talks between Boeing and striking US factory workers will resume Tuesday under a federal mediator, the union said, after workers voted overwhelmingly to reject a proposal from the embattled aviation giant.

The U.S. could be drawn into a conflict between China and the Philippines that's been roiling the South China Sea.

While reporting on the tensions between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, 60 Minutes was on board as a Philippine ship was rammed — then surrounded — by larger Chinese vessels.
