1+ day, 2+ hour ago   (470+ words) But, if a researcher needs to do a specialized task that a machine could do more efficiently and they don't have access to a large institution like Washington University in St. Louis that offers access to generative AI tools, what…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (680+ words) A new book claims AI has been built on a flawed assumption dating back to Alan Turing's famous 1950 paper. Peter J. Denning argues that the most important parts of human intelligence, including common sense, intuition, culture, and practical know-how,…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (76+ words) Water’s odd behavior becomes even more dramatic when it is supercooled, but scientists have struggled to compare the many different ways of describing its microscopic structure. Researchers at the University of Osaka used an AI model trained on computer simulations…...

3+ week, 4+ day ago   (408+ words) AI Improves Simulations of Heavy Element Formation Many of the chemical elements found throughout the universe are forged during extreme cosmic events, including supernova explosions and neutron star mergers. These enormous explosions generate the energy needed to produce heavy atomic…...

3+ week, 4+ day ago   (421+ words) In most materials, the way heat is absorbed and the way it is emitted are inseparable. If a surface absorbs heat efficiently from a particular direction or wavelength, it also emits heat the same way. This long established principle, known…...

3+ week, 5+ day ago   (605+ words) Superconductors allow electric current to flow without losing energy, but only when cooled to extremely low temperatures where quantum effects emerge. These remarkable materials are already used in technologies ranging from quantum computers and medical neuroimaging systems to fusion reactors…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago   (665+ words) Astronomers say a recent challenge to one of the most important discoveries in modern cosmology has been resolved, with new research confirming that the universe is still expanding at an accelerating rate. The debate began in late 2025 when a group…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago   (239+ words) "Our work introduces a hardware platform that can be integrated alongside quantum processors," said Professor Zhang. "By using the unique carrier dynamics in silicon carbide, we can create circuits that are thousands of times more energy-efficient than conventional electronics, significantly…...

1+ mon, 3+ week ago   (272+ words) Scientists found that transfer learning can make the search for new physics in the universe much faster, slashing the need for expensive simulations. Yet the approach can backfire when AI relies too heavily on familiar patterns, potentially missing evidence of…...

1+ mon, 3+ week ago   (723+ words) Artificial intelligence systems can write essays, answer questions, and solve complex problems. But new research suggests they may struggle with something humans do every day: staying focused on the task at hand when distractions get in the way. Researchers led…...
