June 20, 2024 — A team of Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists plan to use artificial intelligence modeling to forecast, and better understand, a growing threat to water caused by toxic algal blooms. Fueled by climate change and rising water temperatures, these harmful algal blooms, or HABs, have grown in intensity and frequency. They have […]
Researchers have proved that secure quantum encryption is possible in a world without hard problems, establishing a new foundation for what is needed to keep information secure. Source: Cryptographers Are Discovering New Rules for Quantum Encryption | WIRED
Seatrec Inc. hopes to provide a new kind of power source using technology created at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California and licensed from the California Institute of Technology. The Vista, Calif.-based company said its technology can allow robots to work in the open ocean indefinitely and without any intervention. The post NASA […]
A new study led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory finds that coastal conditions have changed since 1979, driving nearshore hurricanes around the world to intensify at a quickening pace. Moreover, new projections suggest this rate will continue climbing should current warming trends continue. The new work was published recently […]
A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory explored training strategies for one of the largest artificial intelligence models to date with help from the world’s fastest supercomputer. The post ORNL: World’s Fastest Supercomputer Takes on Large Language Modeling appeared first on HPCwire.
Laboratories are running supercomputers for much longer, beyond the typical lifespan, as vendors prematurely deprecate the hardware and stop providing support. A typical supercomputer lifecycle is about five to six years. However, Japan-based RIKEN is planning to run its existing Fugaku for ten years, and Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL) has some systems running for […]
At the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, robotic marks are being employed for the first time. These robotics marks are inflatable and have an underwater hull, battery pack, and thrusters that make them mobile on top of the water. The RC commands each mark to a GPS waypoint, and the robotic marks hold their position at […]
Malfunction of the proteins that sense voltage changes in our nerve cells underlies a number of human diseases throughout the body. A University of Chicago team used an Anton 2 supercomputer developed by D. E. Shaw Research and hosted at PSC to simulate a voltage-sensing protein from a primitive animal to learn how the sensor […]
As humanoid robots garner widespread public attention, such systems will also need to stand up to safety and performance standards. IEEE’s Robotics & Automation Society today announced the formation of a new study group that will look into the current humanoid landscape and then develop a roadmap for future standards that various organizations can follow. […]
When the ARM Institute launched its Robotics Manufacturing Hub about a year ago, it quickly realized that U.S. manufacturers weren’t looking at robotics and automation because they weren’t interested in the technology. Instead, the barriers to automation loomed so large that it was impossible for small and midsize firms to know where to start. The […]
