Engineers at North Carolina State University have unveiled a new generation of shape-shifting robots that could transform the fields of space exploration and disaster relief. Taking inspiration from the ancient Japanese art of…
Artificial intelligence is experiencing a remarkable breakthrough. New research indicates that AI is beginning to “think” in a way that resembles human thought. Traditionally, the focus of AI development has been on precision…
Charles Barbour, Western Sydney University Back in 2005 – before the rise of social media or smart phones, let alone blockchain, metadata and OpenAI – computer scientist and entrepreneur Ray Kurzweil published a…
Researchers at GE Aerospace’s Global Research Center in Niskayuna, New York, have announced the successful testing of a new dual-mode hypersonic ramjet engine. This breakthrough represents a significant milestone, as development from design…
In a significant milestone for sustainable aviation, a hydrogen-powered air cab has completed an 842-kilometer flight, emitting only water vapor. The aircraft, which left only a vapor trail in its wake, represents a…
Austin Chen | MIT News correspondent With recent advances in imaging, genomics and other technologies, the life sciences are awash in data. If a biologist is studying cells taken from the brain tissue of Alzheimer’s…
Scientists at North Carolina State University in the United States have developed an innovative exoskeleton equipped with artificial intelligence, designed to help with various daily tasks, such as walking and running. The equipment…
Anne Trafton | MIT News State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don’t give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic…
Adrian Hopgood, University of Portsmouth With the current buzz around artificial intelligence (AI), it would be easy to assume that it is a recent innovation. In fact, AI has been around in one…
Anne Trafton | MIT News Artificial intelligence models often play a role in medical diagnoses, especially when it comes to analyzing images such as X-rays. However, studies have found that these models don’t always perform…
