A research collaboration including a team based at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics has long leveraged world-class supercomputing resources to understand how our universe came to exist in its current form. Building on the successes of the previous...

The safety of autonomous vehicles has been called into question after incidents such as an accident last month involving Cruise led to a pause in operations, layoffs, and the resignation of the company’s CEO. However, development continues, and the Toyota Research...

The global market for collaborative robots could reach $1.6 billion this year, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.12% to 2026, predicted Research and Markets. It cited the rise of smart factories and growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. The post...

Penguins always come to supper with their finery on. It hardly matters that their dinner rarely varies. Pygoscelis penguin, a genus that covers three distinct species of penguin, also called brush-tailed penguins, are much smaller than the famous emperor penguin. They...

A new set of AI-based code conversion tools is available with IBM watsonx. Before introducing the new “watsonx,” let’s talk about the previous generation Watson, perhaps better known as “Jeopardy!-Watson.” The post Watsonx Brings AI Visibility to Banking Systems...

Scientists have unlocked many secrets about particle interactions at atomic and subatomic levels. However, one mystery that has eluded researchers is dark matter. Current supercomputers don’t have the capability to run custom machine learning (ML) architectures that...

Quantum computers process information using quantum bits, or qubits, based on fragile, short-lived quantum mechanical states. To make qubits robust and tailor them for applications, researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory sought to...

The launch of ChatGPT and similar generative AI technologies is reshaping the skills required in the workplace, according to a new report from LinkedIn. “The Future of Work Report: AI at Work” found the pace at which LinkedIn members added AI skills to their profile...

Google DeeMind introduced RoboCat, a self-improving AI agent for robotics, in its latest paper. RoboCat can learn to perform a variety of tasks across different robotic arms and then self-generate new training data to better improve its technique. Typically, robots...

The integration of quantum computing into high-performance computing (HPC) centers is a topic of growing interest and urgency. As quantum computing matures, the question is no longer just about its theoretical capabilities but also its practical applicability in...

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed robotic microfliers that can change how they move while in the air by snapping into a folding position during descent. The microfliers use a Miuri-ori origami fold when dropped from a drone to switch from...

Intuitive Surgical President Dave Rosa says he doesn’t get too excited by the idea of better robotic surgery graspers or more flexible wrists. Instead, Rosa identified two technological opportunities that are going to advance surgical robotics and minimally invasive...
