A staggering 97% of the apparel sold and worn in the U.S. is made overseas, according to the American Apparel & Footwear Association. Not only does this mean that the U.S. lost these jobs when apparel manufacturing moved overseas, but it poses a significant risk...

AI is one of the most transformative and valuable scientific tools ever developed. By harnessing vast amounts of data and computational power, AI systems can uncover patterns, generate insights, and make predictions that were previously unattainable. The post The...

Need a moment of levity? Try watching videos of astronauts falling on the moon. NASA’s outtakes of Apollo astronauts tripping and stumbling as they bounce in slow motion are delightfully relatable. For MIT engineers, the lunar bloopers also highlight an opportunity to...

AiM Medical Robotics is taking the next steps to validate its robot for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s patients. The company is partnering with the Surgical Navigation and Robotics (SNR) Lab at Harvard and has entered into a clinical research agreement with the...

May was a busy month for the robotics industry. Exciting events, like the Robotics Summit & Expo and Automate, brought a batch of new product releases and partnership announcements. At the same time, humanoid robotics continued to grab our reader’s attention...

Robots are on the rise in medical environments and are being increasingly relied upon to carry out more complex procedures. Although martensitic stainless steels have been favored for bearings in robot applications, their performance is falling short against rising...

In recent months, several quantum companies have made roadmap announcements with plans to reach 10,000 physical qubits in the next five years or sooner. This is a dramatic increase from the current 20 to 300 qubits, especially given that several of these companies...

A diverse group of computational chemists is encouraging the research community to embrace a sustainable software ecosystem. That’s the message behind a recent perspective article published in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation. The authors discuss...

Cisco and a group of eight leading companies including Accenture, Eightfold, Google, IBM, Indeed, Intel, Microsoft and SAP as well as six advisors today announced the launch of the AI-Enabled Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Workforce Consortium focused...

The Aurora supercomputer at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has officially surpassed the exascale threshold, measuring over a quintillion calculations per second on the new Top500 list. The post Argonne’s Aurora Supercomputer Breaks...

The US Army has an AI plan that includes a 100-day sprint to set the conditions for implementing artificial intelligence. “After the 100 days, we have a 500-day implementation plan that’s going to operationalize the things that we’re doing,” said Young Bang, Principal...

Utilizing high-resolution three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics simulations and detailed supernova physics model run on supercomputers, a research study led by Dr. Ke-Jung Chen from the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica (ASIAA) has revealed...
