Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) could fly deep into the heart of a raging wildfire, avoiding sudden flare-ups and dodging falling tree branches to gather critical information for rescuers. But in this dangerous situation, the UAV could easily be damaged or destroyed by falling debris.Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) could fly deep into the heart of a raging wildfire, avoiding sudden flare-ups and dodging falling tree branches to gather critical information for rescuers.

In 2023, researchers in the Soft Transducers Laboratory in EPFL’s School of Engineering presented the world’s first pump in the form of a fiber. The pump’s flexible tubing can generate its own fluid pressure and flow rate and be sewn into smart textiles to circulate fluids for thermoregulation and haptic feedback or to power wearable assistive devices.In 2023, researchers in the Soft Transducers Laboratory in EPFL’s School of Engineering presented the world’s first pump in the form of a fiber.

Science has increasingly used artificial intelligence (AI) as a kind of microscope—sorting data, analyzing images and revealing hidden patterns. Now a new shift is underway: AI that not only breaks down data but also helps scientists decide what to do next through simple, natural language requests.Science has increasingly used artificial intelligence (AI) as a kind of microscope—sorting data, analyzing images and revealing hidden patterns.

French AI startup Mistral announced Tuesday its biggest open-weight model, dubbed “Chonk,” claiming enhanced performance and security capabilities for clients seeking to keep their data private instead of relying on closed models from the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI.French AI startup Mistral announced Tuesday its biggest open-weight model, dubbed “Chonk,” claiming enhanced performance and security capabilities for clients seeking to keep their data private instead of relying on closed models from the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
When new information is continually added and old information is removed, an AI system may fail to find the correct material even when that material exists. KAIST researchers have developed a vector database technology that preserves the search paths leading to the needed information as data changes. This allows AI to find up-to-date information more accurately and quickly.When new information is continually added and old information is removed, an AI system may fail to find the correct material even when that material exists.

Ask an AI chatbot for some medical advice and it might recommend you head to the hospital when all you really have is indigestion. One of the biggest issues with AI chatbots today is that they can still share false information, according to Northeastern experts.Ask an AI chatbot for some medical advice and it might recommend you head to the hospital when all you really have is indigestion.
