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,...

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...

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...

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...

Up to 36.5% of retail leaders looking to automate expect to see benefits from new technology in two to five years, according to a recent study from wearable technology developer ProGlove. The Chicago-based company surveyed more than 1,000 retail management...

Although LLMs are getting all the notice lately, AI techniques of many varieties are being infused throughout science. For example, Harvard researchers, Google, and colleagues published a 3D map in Science that reveals a small chunk of as human brain in astonishing...

An international team of scientists has built the largest and most detailed bird family tree to date—an intricate chart delineating 93 million years of evolutionary relationships between 363 bird species, representing 92% of all bird families. The advance was made...

When old food packaging, discarded children’s toys and other mismanaged plastic waste break down into microplastics, they become even harder to clean up from oceans and waterways. These tiny bits of plastic also attract bacteria, including those that cause disease....

=Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have achieved a milestone in accelerating and adding features to complex multi-physics simulations run on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), a development that could advance high performance computing and...

The journey begins as Kate Keahey’s wandering path unfolds, leading to improbable events. Keahey, Senior Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, leads Chameleon. This innovative project offers an edge-to-cloud platform tailored for...

Photonic Inc., a leader in distributed quantum computing in silicon, announced a significant milestone on the path to commercially relevant quantum systems. While many existing quantum architectures achieve entanglement within modules, Photonic has demonstrated...

Researchers from the Center for Quantum Information (CQI), Tsinghua University, Beijing, have reported successful development and testing of a new programmable quantum memory framework. “This work provides a promising platform for the implementation of quantum...
