A University of Houston professor has taken on the global challenge of reducing the staggering amount of heat generated in artificial intelligence data centers. Hadi Ghasemi, J. Willard Gibbs Distinguished Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, has found that thin films designed into tree-like, or branched shapes release heat at least three times better than today’s best methods.A University of Houston professor has taken on the global challenge of reducing the staggering amount of heat generated in artificial intelligence data centers.

As the use of large language model agents, such as virtual assistants or chatbots, increases at work, at home and in schools, users may be sharing more private information than they realize, according to new research from the University at Buffalo School of Management.As the use of large language model agents, such as virtual assistants or chatbots, increases at work, at home and in schools, users may be sharing more private information than they realize, according to new research from the University at Buffalo School of Management.Security[#item_full_content]
For a long time, the deal for a wide range of careers has been simple enough. Entry-level workers carried out routine tasks in return for mentorship, skill development and a clear path toward expertise. The arrangement meant that employers had affordable labor, while employees received training and a clear career path. Both sides benefited.For a long time, the deal for a wide range of careers has been simple enough.

The compound eyes of the humble fruit fly are a marvel of nature. They are wide-angle and can process visual information several times faster than the human eye. Inspired by this biological masterpiece, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an insect-scale compound eye that can both see and smell, potentially improving how drones and robots navigate complex environments and avoid obstacles.The compound eyes of the humble fruit fly are a marvel of nature.

EPFL roboticists have shown that when a modular robot shares power, sensing, and communication resources among its individual units, it is significantly more resistant to failure than traditional robotic systems, where the breakdown of one element often means a loss of functionality.EPFL roboticists have shown that when a modular robot shares power, sensing, and communication resources among its individual units, it is significantly more resistant to failure than traditional robotic systems, where the breakdown of one element often means a loss of functionality.[#item_full_content]
It’s often the worst part of many people’s day—bottlenecked, rush-hour traffic. When the daily commute backs up, drivers lose time, burn fuel and waste energy. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Transportation Research Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are tackling this problem with cooperative driving automation (CDA), an emerging technology that allows vehicles and traffic infrastructure to communicate, keeping traffic flowing efficiently and safely.It’s often the worst part of many people’s day—bottlenecked, rush-hour traffic.

As artificial intelligence chatbots become better at mimicking human conversations, the potential for damage has grown, particularly for people who turn to them for mental health advice and to discuss plans to harm themselves.As artificial intelligence chatbots become better at mimicking human conversations, the potential for damage has grown, particularly for people who turn to them for mental health advice and to discuss plans to harm themselves.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]
Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new methodology for a robot to learn how to move its arms autonomously by combining a type of observational learning with intercommunication between its limbs. This work represents a further step toward achieving more natural and easily teachable service robots capable of performing assistive tasks in domestic environments, such as setting and clearing the table, ironing, or tidying up the kitchen.Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new methodology for a robot to learn how to move its arms autonomously by combining a type of observational learning with intercommunication between its limbs.

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed an artificial intelligence approach that addresses a key bottleneck in analog semiconductor layout design, a process that has traditionally depended heavily on engineers’ experience. The work was recently published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers.Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed an artificial intelligence approach that addresses a key bottleneck in analog semiconductor layout design, a process that has traditionally depended heavily on engineers’ experience.
