“In this long-term study, we first used the Comet supercomputer to run tens of millions of simulations – looking at how ribonucleic acid (RNA) works within individual maize genes,” said Solares, a lecturer and researcher with the UC San Diego Computer Science and...

Rain, a developer of aerial wildfire containment technology, and Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company specializing in advanced rotorcraft, are researching how to fight wildfires autonomously. The companies completed test flights in late 2023 using an autonomous...

We have all thought about it. No one has done it, but now, thanks to HPC, we see what it looks like. Hold on to your feet because NASA has released videos  of what it is like to orbit and enter a black hole. And yes, it crosses the event horizon (don’t worry, nothing...

The robotics industry has seen major growth and maturity in the past decade. Technology advances such as vision systems and computing power, along with the rise of artificial intelligence, have helped the industry grow in many ways. Robots also are getting cheaper and...

The Robot Report recently spoke with Ph.D. student Cheng Chi about his research at Stanford University and recent publications about using diffusion AI models for robotics applications. He also discussed the recent universal manipulation interface, or UMI gripper,...

With actions from suppliers like Siemens, Interact Analysis expects the market for machine-integrated robot control to grow rapidly over the next few years. The post Demand for integrated robot control surges appeared first on The Robot Report.

With the help of generative AI, researchers from MIT and the University of Basel in Switzerland have developed a new machine-learning framework that can help uncover new insights about materials science. The findings of the study were published in Physical Review...

In this recent blog post, CSC’s Maari Alanko and Pihla Kauranen highlight the power of international collaboration in climate research, featuring cutting-edge projects like the study of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Leveraging the LUMI supercomputer, researchers are...

June 10, 2024 — On Friday, the United Nations proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). This year-long, worldwide initiative will celebrate the contributions of quantum science to technological progress over the past century,...

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...
