The researchers believe the algorithm may help future AI learn to act simply by watching the vast numbers of videos on the internet. | Continue reading
Engineers trained the Mayflower 400’s “AI Captain” on petabytes of data, and it's able to refine its knowledge through experience. | Continue reading
Changing gene expression in over 2.5 million human cells, the technology comprehensively mapped how genetic perturbations alter the cell. | Continue reading
Amazon has built what it calls an “industry-leading sense-and-avoid system” to keep its drones from crashing into things. | Continue reading
The company claims Project Virginia's 200 homes will make it the biggest 3D printed construction project in the world. | Continue reading
Our understanding of sentience and consciousness in AI systems might be limited by our own particular brand of intelligence. | Continue reading
Participants will get 100% of their pay while working 80% of their typical schedule and aiming to maintain 100% productivity. | Continue reading
The trick was to introduce loops of optical fibers to delay photons so they can interfere at specific spots important for quantum computation. | Continue reading
How information is processed differs between humans and other primates, which may explain why our cognitive abilities are so superior. | Continue reading
The pods would move at speeds up to 75 miles an hour, with each pod running on rechargeable onboard batteries. | Continue reading
Two synchronized lasers are used to create bursts of either the transient or permanent currents, which act as the inputs to the logic gate. | Continue reading
The entire process happens below our consciousness, suppressing unwanted memories so that they never surface to awareness. | Continue reading
Researchers believe algae could help power the billions or trillions of simple sensors and chips making up the Internet of Things. | Continue reading
The team selected genes from pumpkin and green algae that would enable the poplars to have lower photorespiration rates. | Continue reading
Our entire lives are built around time. We plan for the future in light of what we know about the past. | Continue reading
The quantum memristor is built using integrated photonic technology, which shuttles photons around a silicon chip to process information. | Continue reading
French startup NukkAI and its NooK bridge-playing AI outplayed eight bridge world champions in a competition held in Paris last week. | Continue reading
The team used neurofeedback, a method that allows someone to modify their brain signals with real-time feedback on whether they’ve succeeded. | Continue reading
Upon reaching its port the autonomous ship was even able to steer itself into its designated bay, with drones dropping its mooring line. | Continue reading
Robots will seal the spent nuclear rods inside cast-iron canisters, which in turn will go into copper canisters that will be welded shut. | Continue reading
Eleven power plants near the Salton Sea could produce about 20,000 metric tons of lithium per year which is 10 times the current US demand. | Continue reading
Is technology causing us to become disillusioned with the idea of "the one," or hungrier for it than ever? | Continue reading
The algorithm estimates how weights will need to be altered on the forward pass, and the estimates perform comparably to backpropagation. | Continue reading
Part of the promise of NFTs, Beeple believes, is that they’re going to allow people to have more ownership over their virtual selves. | Continue reading
Pushing Moore's Law to its bitter limits, a new graphene transistor gate measures a mere 0.34 nanometers—a mark that'll be hard to beat. | Continue reading
