Fake plants are moving into the 21st century. Researchers developed literal “power plants”—tiny, leaf-shaped generators that create electricity from a blowing breeze or falling raindrops—and described them in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. The team […]
In George Orwell’s novel “1984,” Big Brother watches citizens through two-way, TV-like telescreens to surveil citizens without any cameras. In a similar fashion, our current smart devices contain ambient light sensors, which open the door […]
An emergency room doctor using augmented reality could save precious seconds by quickly checking a patient’s vitals or records. But the doctor could also unintentionally pull information for someone else in the room, breaching privacy […]
Recent numerical studies investigating neural networks have found that solutions typically found by modern machine learning algorithms lie in complex extended regions of the loss landscape. In these regions, zero-energy paths between pairs of distant […]
The image spoke for itself. University at Buffalo computer scientist and deepfake expert Siwei Lyu created a photo collage out of the hundreds of faces that his detection algorithms had incorrectly classified as fake—and the […]
Organic electronics—electronics where the active material is carbon-based—are making possible diverse new technologies ranging from sensors for monitoring cannabinoid levels in cannabis plants to lightweight, bendable solar panels. Real-world applications could result in solar panels […]
Imagine stoplights and cars communicating with each other to optimize the flow of traffic. This isn’t science fiction—it’s the Internet of Things (IoT), i.e., objects that sense their surroundings and respond via the internet. As […]
When artificial intelligence models pore over hundreds of gigabytes of training data to learn the nuances of language, they also imbibe the biases woven into the texts.This article was originally published on this website.
A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has developed a new fuel cell that harvests energy from microbes living in dirt.This article was originally published on this website.
Engineers from UK universities have developed a new method of measuring temperature through the interaction of a soft and flexible “smart skin” sensor with electromagnetic waves.This article was originally published on this website.
