6+ hour, 21+ min ago  (219+ words) The prototype was developed at the Sydney Nano Hub and represents an effort to rethink how computing hardware could support the growing demands of AI systems. Instead of relying on electronic signals, the chip carries out calculations as light travels…...

4+ day, 8+ hour ago  (618+ words) New simulation creates ideal glass, helping explain how disordered materials become stable solids. Scientists have created the first computer model of an "ideal glass," a theoretical material physicists have been searching for since the mid-20th century. The breakthrough could help researchers…...

6+ day, 17+ hour ago  (550+ words) Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs claims have successfully programmed living human neurons to play the cult-classic 1993 video game Doom. The team created a microelectrode array by growing 200,000 brain cells onto it." The CL-1 neural computing system chip translates digital game data…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago  (577+ words) The solutions can help solve problems in the field of information theory, quantum coding, data storage and advanced telecommunication. Scientists at Fudan University, Peking University, and the Shanghai Academy of AI for Science (SAIS) used an artificial intelligence system called…...

3+ week, 1+ day ago  (179+ words) The most surprising aspect was that the computer's eyes developed in the same way as those of real organisms. Researchers revealed that step by step, simple light-sensitive structures grew into functioning eyes, linked to primitive "brains" that could interpret the…...
