In a recent article published in the National Science Review, researchers have proposed a new operator learning framework called PIANO. PIANO uses self-supervised learning to extract representations containing physical invariants from partial differential equations (PDEs) systems with different physical mechanisms, thereby extending the generalization ability of neural operators to various physics scenarios.

Researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering have revealed critical shortcomings in recently-proposed methods aimed at making powerful text-to-image generative AI systems safer for public use.

At the 2024 European Robotics Forum taking place in Rimini, Italy, researchers of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT- Italian Institute of Technology) have shown the most recent results from the project SOPHIA: A collaborative robot to guide workers and relieve the burden of overhead tasks such as drilling, wearable robots to support the lifting and carrying of heavy loads physically, and wearable feedback devices to alert users about awkward postures.

A small island off the coast of Newfoundland is redefining itself with the help of a local businesswoman who combined deep pockets with a deep appreciation for the island's past.

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science that focuses on the use of data and algorithms to allow computers to learn without explicitly being programmed. While discussions surrounding AI algorithms, such as ChatGPT and other generative models, are taking place at all levels of society, the machine learning capabilities of quantum computers are still somewhat unexplored.

A research team has successfully enhanced the performance and durability of all-solid-state batteries. This breakthrough was made possible through the implementation of a novel approach known as bottom electrodeposition. Their research has been published in Small.

Gov. Josh Shapiro unveiled his energy strategy on March 12, a two-pronged approach that would create a carbon cap and trade market in Pennsylvania and boost the amount of clean energy delivered to electric utility consumers in the state.

Thunderbolt 5 is set to make a splash in 2024, and Apple is likely to adopt the connection standard at some point in the future. Here's what has changed in Thunderbolt 5 vs. Thunderbolt 4.

To discourage the inefficient manual invention and configuration of new metaheuristic optimization algorithms, a research team at IRIDIA, the artificial intelligence laboratory of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, studied the literature and outlined the strengths of automatic approaches to the design of metaheuristics, especially compared to the many redundant—and at times outlandish—metaphor-based metaheuristics.

Microsoft Corp. plans to release artificial intelligence tools on April 1 that will help cybersecurity workers produce summaries of suspicious incidents and ferret out the devious methods hackers use to obscure their intentions.

If a robot traveling to a destination has just two possible paths, it needs only to compare the routes' travel time and probability of success. But if the robot is traversing a complex environment with many possible paths, choosing the best route amid so much uncertainty can quickly become an intractable problem.

As traditional energy methods increase in cost and take their toll on the environment, Penn State researchers are turning to two underutilized renewable resources, the sun and outer space, for solutions to generate electricity and passively cool down structures.

Inspired by the classic drinking bird toy, scientists in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China have developed an engine that efficiently converts energy from water evaporation into electricity to power small electronics. The device produces energy outputs exceeding 100 volts—much higher than other techniques that generate electricity from water—and can operate for several days using only 100 milliliters of water as fuel, according to a study published March 14 in the journal Device.

Big? Yes. Difficult? Nah. With only basic woodworking skills, a tablesaw, and a few simple tools, you can make custom cabinets for your home or shop.

There are a variety of materials that you can use for your kitchen cabinets, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most popular material is: When trying to work out the right material for your kitchen, it is beneficial to be guided by professionals. They can direct you on what is best industry practice […]

University of Waterloo researchers have created a new technology that can remove harmful nanoplastics from contaminated water with 94% efficiency. The study, "Utilization of epoxy thermoset waste to produce activated carbon for the remediation of nano-plastic contaminated wastewater," was published in the journal Separation and Purification Technology.

New research shows that the next generation of lithium-sulfur (Li||S) batteries may be capable of being charged in less than five minutes, instead of several hours as is currently the case. The paper is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers are trying to convince a Florida federal judge he had "unreviewable discretion" to make any document personal in nature.

The U.S. government may end its legal fight against a planned expedition to the Titanic, which is treated as a gravesite under federal law.

Today's test flight of the SpaceX Super Heavy-Starship rocket follows two launches last year that were only partially successful.
