Cornell engineers have developed a powerful artificial intelligence tool that could help New York state and other governments plan the transition to a carbon-neutral power sector, using a combination of machine learning and optimization modeling to provide hour-by-hour analysis of the empire state’s energy needs.
The project also investigates processes that bring about the aurora borealis and simulates, with the help of artificial intelligence, plasma bursts in near-Earth space, utilising the computing power of a supercomputer.
Engineers are designing an autonomous robot that can open doors, find nearest electric outlet
Uncovering the mechanisms of learning via synaptic plasticity is a critical step towards understanding how our brains function and building truly intelligent, adaptive machines. Researchers from the University of Bern propose a new approach in which algorithms mimic biological evolution and learn efficiently through creative evolution.
Press release: Immersive virtual reality disrupts the child’s default coordination strategy, EPFL scientists show, something that should be taken into account when developing virtual reality rehabilitation protocols for children.
Artificial intelligence (AI) will fundamentally change medicine and healthcare: Diagnostic patient data, e.g.
Researchers at Tohoku University and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, with the support of the Human Frontier Science Program, have decoded the flexible motor control mechanisms underlying salamander walking.
The University of Sydney has issued the following press release:Nanowire network trained to solve simple problemSome neuroscience theories suggest the human brain operates best 'at the edge of chaos'.
Inspired by insects that suck nutrients directly from plant veins, physicists from DTU have studied whether valuable chemical substances can be harvested directly from the cells of plants. Using a harvester measuring only a few microns, they have now achieved a technological breakthrough.
Goodbye, bulky components and connectors: A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany and at the University of Colorado Boulder in the US has now found a new way to exploit the principles of spiders’ joints to create lightweight robots.
A new system devises hardware architectures to hasten robots’ response time.
Anne Silverman, Rowlinson Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Colorado School of Mines, is developing a project that is designed to make musculoskeletal predictions with a high degree of success to properly assess the risk of injury due to heavy backpack loads.
Mathematician Peter Shor — creator of the revolutionary method for making quantum computers possible — now warns that quantum computing threatens to crack the encryption coding used by conventional computers.
A 12-member team of researchers was awarded the 2020 ACM Gordon Bell Special Prize for research involving COVID-19.
In the past year, lockdowns and other COVID-19 safety measures have made online shopping more popular than ever, but the skyrocketing demand is leaving many retailers struggling to fulfill orders while ensuring the safety of their warehouse employees.
Two Princeton researchers, architect Stefana Parascho and engineer Sigrid Adriaenssens, dreamed of using robots to simplify construction, even when building complex forms.
The Finite-Volume Cubed Sphere (FV3) dynamical core is now being used by GEFS after being added to the Global Forecast System model in 2019.
Artificial molecules could one day form the information unit of a new type of computer or be the basis for programmable substances.
The Hoffman-Yee Research Grant Program seeks to harness artificial intelligence to build a better future for humanity.
Agroup of doctors and data scientists is calling on hospitals to create clinical departments devoted to artificial intelligence to harness the power of the technology to transform patient care.
