Stress can have a huge impact on your health. Everything from your mood to your blood pressure can be negatively impacted by high amounts of stress, but there could be other, deadlier consequences to chronic of stress. Scientists have been studying the possible link between stress and cancer for a long time. For some people, […]

D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced the results of a new study today that reveals a majority of surveyed businesses actively using quantum computing foresee an exceptional return on investment (ROI) from their quantum optimization efforts — with an expected combined potential positive financial impact to reach up to an estimated $51.5 billion. The post D-Wave Commissioned […]

As the hare learned from the tortoise, speed isn’t everything. Theoretical computer scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and Boston University have discovered that quantum computers are unrivaled at solving an advanced math problem. Unusually, they proved quantum computers are not faster than regular computers; instead, they use far less memory. The post Sandia Highlights Quantum […]

Asteroid Institute, a program of B612 Foundation, and Google Cloud announced the most significant results of their partnership to date: identifying 27,500 new, high-confidence asteroid discovery candidates. The work, which took place over several weeks, has the potential to enable the mapping of the solar system and protect the Earth from collisions, advancing the field […]

By emitting sounds and analyzing resulting echoes, humans and animals use active acoustic sensing systems to explore and comprehend their surroundings. Humans use high-frequency sonar systems, also known as echosounders or fishfinders, to observe fish and zooplankton in the ocean. Toothed whales and bats, on the other hand, utilize the same principles via echolocation to […]

With the deployment of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) happening at a rapid pace, organizations of all sizes are tasked with navigating the challenges around implementation, especially regarding ethics and accuracy. The post Four Steps to Ensure GenAI Safety and Ethics appeared first on HPCwire.

As organizations in every industry rush to enrich their own private data sets with LLMs, the quest for more and better data is unfolding at a scale never seen before, stretching the limits of present-day infrastructure in new and disruptive ways. Yet the sheer scale of the data sets ingested by LLMs raises an important […]

The world is currently experiencing two of the largest societal upheavals since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. One is the rapid improvement and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, while the other is the sprint toward clean energy  deployment in the face of the global climate crisis. Rick Stevens, Associate Laboratory Director and Argonne […]

The origin of heavy elements in our universe is theorized to be the result of neutron star collisions, which produce conditions hot and dense enough for free neutrons to merge with atomic nuclei and form new elements in a split-second window of time. Testing this theory and answering other astrophysical questions requires predictions for a […]

Artificial neural networks are computing systems with interconnected layers that process and learn from data. During training, neural networks utilize optimization algorithms to iteratively refine their parameters until they converge to a solution that accurately models the data. This convergence process is crucial but can be extremely slow, taking days or weeks to complete with […]
