By combining patterns found in mountains of data with information gleaned from mistakes, these computer programs expand their artificial intelligence.
As artificial intelligence models grow larger and consume more energy, experts have begun to worry about their impact on Earth’s climate.
Researchers have come up with a way to increase the energy efficiency of a drying technique, possibly making it ready for prime time.
Scientists have “borrowed” the hair-trigger leaves of Venus flytraps to make a gentle grabber that can be controlled by a cellphone app.
New technologies aim to listen to — and maybe even change — your brain activity. But just because scientists can do this, should they?
Counter-speech, artificial intelligence and other tools can help spot online hate — and maybe thwart it. New studies show how.
The catalyst is an improvement over its predecessors. Made of cheap materials like iron, it produces jet fuel in a single step.
New piezoelectric systems produce electricity in unusual ways, such as when a certain nylon bends or underwater ceramics vibrate.
Algebra is a type of mathematics that studies symbols and how they can be shifted around.
