The Brown research team tested its Lang2LTL software on a Spot robot from Boston Dynamics on campus. | Source: Juan Siliezar, Brown University Researchers at Brown University said they have developed software that can translate plainly worded instructions into behaviors that robots can carry out without needing thousands of hours of training data.  The post Brown […]

Fermionic atoms are atoms that obey the Pauli exclusion principle, which means that no two of them can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This makes them ideal for simulating systems where fermionic statistics play a crucial role, such as molecules, superconductors and quark-gluon plasmas. The post Scientists in Austria Unravel the Potential of Fermions […]

Although the economy has slowed, investments in robotics and automation are growing. Global robot installations are expected to increase by 7% yearly between 2024 and 2026, according to the International Federation of Robotics. The post Don’t wait to plan next year’s robotics investments, says HowToRobot appeared first on The Robot Report.

Water, despite its simple molecular structure, behaves in ways that have long puzzled scientists. While it is universally recognized as essential to life, water’s anomalous properties present unique challenges for computational modeling. But in a groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications, scientists from UC San Diego have made a major stroke in simulating water’s phase […]

Accurately calculating interactions among electrons has been a significant obstacle to reliable material exploration and design through computer modeling. Recently, a University of Michigan-led international team demonstrated code that brought quantum mechanical accuracy for large systems into the range of today’s supercomputers. The Association for Computing Machinery has now recognized this breakthrough through the Gordon Bell […]

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed eAir, an aero-elastic pressure sensor inspired by lotus leaf’s water-repelling structures. eAir sensors offer increased precision and reliability for medical applications over traditional sensors.  The post Lotus leaf-inspired sensors can detect minor pressure changes appeared first on The Robot Report.

Supercomputing remains largely an on-premise affair for many reasons that include horsepower, security, and system management. Companies need more time to move workloads to the cloud, but the options are increasing. (See the recently posted HPC-AI forecast from Intersect 360 Research.) The post Scientific Computing Options Maturing in the Cloud appeared first on HPCwire.

The Department of Energy’s Office of Science has allocated supercomputer access to a record-breaking 75 computational science projects for 2024 through its Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, or INCITE, program. DOE is awarding 60% of the available time on the leadership-class supercomputers at DOE’s Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories to […]

Microsoft and Rockwell Automation have announced an expanded partnership to leverage Generative AI capabilities for enhanced productivity and faster time-to-market. The first outcome of this collaboration will be adding Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service into FactoryTalk Design Studio to accelerate time-to-market for their customers building industrial automation systems.  The post Microsoft, Rockwell Automation to bring Gen […]
