Modern "sustainable"' innovations in architecture are failing to slow climate change, but revisiting ancient knowledge and techniques found in traditional architecture could offer better solutions.... Read more

Training humanoid robots to hike could accelerate development of embodied AI for tasks like autonomous search and rescue, ecological monitoring in unexplored places and more, say University of Michigan researchers who developed an AI model that equips humanoids to hit the trails.... Read more

To train artificial intelligence (AI) models, researchers need good data and lots of it. However, most real-world data has already been used, leading scientists to generate synthetic data. While the generated data helps solve the issue of quantity, it may not always have good quality, and assessing its quality has... Read more

Optical signal transmission can be significantly improved by limiting the wavelength of transmitted signals. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a technique widely used in optical communication, sensing, and laser technologies for selectively blocking certain wavelengths of light. In optical fibers, FBG functions as a band-rejection filter that reflects specific light... Read more

A recent study provides evidence to help solve one of the key hurdles to large-scale manufacture of next-generation perovskite solar cells.... Read more

The rise of e-commerce has brought unprecedented convenience to consumers, but it has also created fertile ground for deceptive practices in online marketplaces. A growing body of research is now focusing on the detection of fake or misleading product reviews, often referred to as spam reviews. These are deliberately written... Read more

OpenAI's latest research paper diagnoses exactly why ChatGPT and other large language models can make things up—known in the world of artificial intelligence as "hallucination." It also reveals why the problem may be unfixable, at least as far as consumers are concerned.... Read more

Imagine a field where solar panels and crops coexist—with no trade-off. It sounds like science fiction, but that's precisely what researchers from Aarhus University have now documented in a full-scale agrivoltaic pilot project in the Danish countryside.... Read more

An artificial intelligence system that was fed Institutional Shareholder Services Inc.'s publicly available proxy voting guidelines, as well as activist and management statements on shareholder proposals, can effectively predict how shareholders will vote on resolutions, the co-authors of new research on leveraging AI as a proxy advisor found....

Until now, when scientists created magnetic robots, their magnetization profiles were generally fixed, enabling only a specific type of shape programming capability using applied external magnetic fields. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) have now proposed a new magnetization reprogramming method that can drastically expand the... Read more

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly versatile—from route planning to text translation, it has long become a standard tool. But it is not enough for AI to simply deliver useful results: it is becoming ever more important that it also complies with legal, ethical, and social norms. But how can such... Read more

Generative AI promises to help solve everything from climate change to poverty. But behind every chatbot response lies a deep environmental cost.... Read more

"This is a game changer." That's how Paul Scully, New South Wales Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, described the state government's launch of a tender for an artificial intelligence (AI) solution to the housing crisis earlier this month.... Read more

Thermoelectricity is capable of direct energy conversion between heat and electricity, promising low-grade heat harvesting and solid-state cooling for the transition to sustainable electronics. Currently, bulk Bi2Te3 polycrystalline undergoes a composite synthesis process that typically encompasses melting, ball milling, hot pressing, and spark plasma sintering, aiming to introduce a myriad...
