News
From MIT To IBM, Expediting AI And Quantum Deployment
1+ week, 3+ day ago (1141+ words) Mirage News The experience of transitioning from research based in theory to focusing on real-world application can vary significantly for different researchers. However, for two former MIT graduate students and a former postdoc, all now at IBM, working with the…...
Some Assembly Required, With Machine Learning
2+ week, 3+ day ago (770+ words) Machine learning doesn't replace human intelligence, but it can outlast human endurance, which makes it a very helpful tool for chemistry and material discovery. Scientists know the machine learning models can make predictions based on the vast reams of data…...
Harnessing Power Of Quantum AI
3+ week, 4+ day ago (334+ words) Lancaster University researchers are spearheading a major new European research initiative that aims to redefine how artificial intelligence can harness the power of quantum computing. Quantum AI combines emerging quantum computing technologies with artificial intelligence to explore new ways of…...
Autonomous Experiments Emerge at CHESS
2+ week, 4+ day ago (448+ words) An X-ray experiment at Cornell recently did something unusual: It decided for itself where to take its next measurement. CHESS Staff Scientist Amlan Das at the Structural Materials Beamline of CHESS. Earlier this spring, CHESS researchers demonstrated autonomously driven measurements…...
New Theory: Cognition, Consciousness From Analog Computation
1+ week, 4+ day ago (598+ words) A new theory, published in The Journal of Neuroscience by three scientists in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT, offers an explanation of how the brain produces cognition and consciousness: It uses traveling waves of rhythmic neural…...

4+ week, 19+ hour ago (376+ words) A grid intelligence platform for wildfire prevention, developed by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory with industry partner Southern California Edison, received a special Market Disruptor award in the 2026 R&D100 Awards, often called "the Oscars of innovation." The…...
UC Berkeley Expert Weighs Promise, Perils of Agentic AI
3+ week, 3+ day ago (710+ words) But what if LLMs had the ability to reason, plan and use tools on their own, with limited human supervision? For example, what if an LLM could recognize that multiplying two numbers together is a math problem, and use a…...
AI Agents Revolutionize Scientific Discovery
3+ week, 3+ day ago (224+ words) In a new article published in Artificial Intelligence & Environment, Professor Guang-Guo Ying of South China Normal University examines three landmark AI systems reported in Nature in 2026: the Empirical Research Assistant (ERA), The AI Scientist, and MIRA. Together, they illustrate how…...
New Math Framework Boosts AI Transparency in Clinics
3+ day, 16+ hour ago (259+ words) Researchers at King's College London have developed a new mathematical framework to test whether AI systems that appear to explain their decisions are genuinely transparent. Published in the Journal of Machine Learning Research, the study addresses a growing issue as…...
AI Decodes Semiconductor Processes: Backward Approach
2+ week, 5+ day ago (534+ words) Even dishes that taste alike can be made with different ingredients and seasoning combinations. Just as it is difficult to identify the exact recipe from taste alone, in manufacturing it can be challenging to work backward from a single measurement…...
