Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a new approach that addresses the limitations of generative AI models. Unlike generative diffusion models, the team’s Discrete Spatial Diffusion approach honors scientific and physics principles. The team validated their model on two challenging scientific applications—subsurface rock microstructures and lithium-ion battery electrodes—with promising results.Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a new approach that addresses the limitations of generative AI models.

The rapid development and widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems is posing new challenges for electricity consumption. This is because most AI systems rely on data centers, facilities hosting several computing servers that store and process large amounts of data.The rapid development and widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems is posing new challenges for electricity consumption.

Artificial intelligence has captured headlines recently for its rapidly growing energy demands, and particularly the surging electricity usage of data centers that enable the training and deployment of the latest generative AI models. But it’s not all bad news—some AI tools have the potential to reduce some forms of energy consumption and enable cleaner grids.Artificial intelligence has captured headlines recently for its rapidly growing energy demands, and particularly the surging electricity usage of data centers that enable the training and deployment of the latest generative AI models.

In Proceedings of the SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 Conference Papers, a research team affiliated with UNIST reports a new AI technology that can animate 3D characters to mimic the exact movements shown in a single 2D image, all while preserving natural proportions and avoiding distortions. This development could reduce the barriers to creating 3D content for the metaverse, animation and gaming industries.In Proceedings of the SIGGRAPH Asia 2025 Conference Papers, a research team affiliated with UNIST reports a new AI technology that can animate 3D characters to mimic the exact movements shown in a single 2D image, all while preserving natural proportions and avoiding distortions.
