Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that...

For decades, scientists assumed that only large ocean temperature patterns covering 200 kilometers (124 miles) or more could strongly influence storms. Now, by leveraging advances in computing power, a team of scientists from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of...

The robotics industry, with its rapid growth and transformative potential, presents unique intellectual property (IP) challenges and opportunities. To be successful, entrepreneurs and executives in the industry must strategically leverage IP rights to protect...

The robotics industry has long been captivated by the idea of humanoid robots—machines that mimic human appearance and movement. While this vision aligns with science fiction, it’s not necessarily the best approach for solving real-world automation challenges. In...

As an early investor in Agility Robotics, now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of humanoid robots, I’ve watched as humanoids have evolved from a fascinating concept to reality over the past five years. That’s why I wasn’t surprised when NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang...

How many supercomputers does it take to simulate plasma turbulence? Quite a few, it turns out. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) utilized a number of ACCESS resources, including Stampede2 from the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), Expanse...

Despite a lack of growth in 2023 and 2024, the latest report from ABI Research predicted that revenue from collaborative robots will increase from $970 million in 2023 to $7.2 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 28%. The research firm said...

Production manufacturing demands are increasingly diverse, so adaptability and efficiency are essential, according to Hakan Aydogdu, CEO of Tezmaksan Robot Technologies. Automatic gripper changes provide a practical solution for CNC machines to transition seamlessly...

In the future, autonomous drones could be used to shuttle inventory between large warehouses. A drone might fly into a semi-dark structure the size of several football fields, zipping along hundreds of identical aisles before docking at the precise spot where its...

Intuitive Surgical Inc. remains the leading surgical robotics provider — but other companies with savvy strategies are generating buzz and raising money. Surgical robotics experts agree that the most promising technologies provide robot-assisted surgery options that...

This past year at SC24, there was a marked increase in liquid cooling companies. The term “liquid cooling” describes moving system heat through water rather than air. Moving water is much more complicated than moving ambient air but can hold much more heat by volume...

The meteoric rise of DeepSeek R-1 has put the spotlight on an emerging type of AI model called a reasoning model. As generative AI applications move beyond conversational interfaces, reasoning models are likely to grow in capability and use, which is why they should...
