Some people have a gift for creating beautiful works of art. Others appreciate art but do not have the talent to create it. Researchers at Cornell Tech and the Cornell Bowers College of Computing and Information Science have created an artificial intelligence framework, ShadowDraw, that can create “shadow art”—partial line drawings that are completed by the shadow cast from an object—by simply scanning the object.Some people have a gift for creating beautiful works of art.

Researchers at Ames National Laboratory are advancing the discovery of materials for rare-earth-free permanent magnets by combining fundamental physics with artificial intelligence. The work contributes to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Genesis Mission, which unites DOE National Labs, industry, and academia to harness AI for breakthroughs in energy, discovery science, and national security, including a focus on securing America’s supply of rare earths and other critical minerals.Researchers at Ames National Laboratory are advancing the discovery of materials for rare-earth-free permanent magnets by combining fundamental physics with artificial intelligence.

A team of researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered a new class of cyberthreat that gives hackers more power and reach at far less cost. It can be built with free AI models. Every online device is a potential target. And current cyber defenses are not yet ready for it.A team of researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered a new class of cyberthreat that gives hackers more power and reach at far less cost.

Someone with no computing experience may soon be able to remotely control a robot from anywhere on the planet using a smartphone, thanks to new technology developed by Georgia Tech. The new technology is also set to revolutionize the scale of policy training data collection, which is essential to advancing robotic capabilities and meeting growing production demand.Someone with no computing experience may soon be able to remotely control a robot from anywhere on the planet using a smartphone, thanks to new technology developed by Georgia Tech.

One argument often used to quell concerns about the rising energy and resource demand of data centers is that artificial intelligence (AI) models will need less in the future as they improve and become more efficient.One argument often used to quell concerns about the rising energy and resource demand of data centers is that artificial intelligence (AI) models will need less in the future as they improve and become more efficient.Energy & Green Tech[#item_full_content]
In 2026, the hype for artificial intelligence agents is louder than ever before. These semi-autonomous programs can “think” and execute well-defined tasks in areas like customer service and software development, typically using language models (LMs). But fields like medical diagnosis and scientific discovery require them to inquire about a vast range of solutions in uncertain environments which LMs struggle with.In 2026, the hype for artificial intelligence agents is louder than ever before.

As any athlete will tell you, perfect practice makes perfect. But for individuals who do not have regular access to coaches or trainers, maintaining good form can be tricky. In fact, during the COVID-19 pandemic when many people were exercising at home, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported a 48% rise in injuries related to at-home exercise.As any athlete will tell you, perfect practice makes perfect.

When artificial intelligence is used to support or make important decisions in areas such as health care and public administration, it becomes crucial to understand how these systems arrive at their conclusions. A new doctoral thesis from the University of Gothenburg presents a method for designing AI systems that can explain the evidence underlying their conclusions.When artificial intelligence is used to support or make important decisions in areas such as health care and public administration, it becomes crucial to understand how these systems arrive at their conclusions.
