As technology advances, and the demand for faster, higher-bandwidth, and more energy-efficient data processing continues to grow, scientists and engineers search for ways to improve electronic systems. One avenue they have been exploring is optoelectronics—the study and application of electronic devices that interface with light by detecting, emitting, or converting it into electrical signals.As technology advances, and the demand for faster, higher-bandwidth, and more energy-efficient data processing continues to grow, scientists and engineers search for ways to improve electronic systems.

Production of drones and autonomous robots is expected to explode by the late 2030s—by up to 10× for commercial drones and 100× for humanoid and quadruped robots. Publishing in Chem Circularity, researchers estimate how this boost in production could impact US and global supply chains of 18 raw materials used in robots and drones. They predict that incremental demand for rare earth metals and carbon fiber could pose supply problems and recommend that technology developers piggyback off existing capacity from other industries such as electric vehicles to prevent shortages.Production of drones and autonomous robots is expected to explode by the late 2030s—by up to 10× for commercial drones and 100× for humanoid and quadruped robots.

From driving cars to flying drones, as autonomous robots take on more responsibility, they also face more human-like dilemmas—including what to do when rules collide.From driving cars to flying drones, as autonomous robots take on more responsibility, they also face more human-like dilemmas—including what to do when rules collide.[#item_full_content]
Generative AI tools are rapidly transforming how software is built—and raising new risks in the process, according to a new TechBrief from the Association for Computing Machinery’s Technology Policy Council (TPC) on the rise of “vibe coding.”Generative AI tools are rapidly transforming how software is built—and raising new risks in the process, according to a new TechBrief from the Association for Computing Machinery’s Technology Policy Council (TPC) on the rise of “vibe coding.”Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
On average, car crashes cause more than 40,000 deaths per year in the United States. Technologies like seat belts, advanced airbags, and automated braking systems have improved car driver and passenger safety, but pedestrian deaths due to crashes have actually increased by 48% over the last decade, reaching about 7,500 fatalities in 2022. Transportation researchers comb through police crash reports to identify infrastructure countermeasures that will help in the greatest number of cases. However, sometimes improving the average situation isn’t enough.On average, car crashes cause more than 40,000 deaths per year in the United States.

Research conducted by Dr. Sanaz Taheri Boshrooyeh, a Ph.D. graduate of Koç University, Computer Science and Engineering Program, together with Prof. Dr. Alptekin Küpçü and Prof. Dr. Öznur Özkasap, has led to the development of a new scalable method designed to protect user privacy on online platforms that rely on invitation-based registration. The system, called “Anonyma,” prevents even system administrators from identifying who invited a particular user to join the platform, addressing a significant privacy concern in such systems. The research and analysis results were published in Journal of Network and Computer Applications.Research conducted by Dr. Sanaz Taheri Boshrooyeh, a Ph.D. graduate of Koç University, Computer Science and Engineering Program, together with Prof. Dr. Alptekin Küpçü and Prof. Dr. Öznur Özkasap, has led to the development of a new scalable method designed to protect user privacy on online platforms that rely on invitation-based registration.

Artificial intelligence that cannot explain how it makes decisions—often called “black box” AI—could soon be replaced by more transparent systems, research suggests. A study by Loughborough University, published in Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, outlines a new mathematical blueprint for building AI that can reveal how it learns, remembers, and makes decisions.Artificial intelligence that cannot explain how it makes decisions—often called “black box” AI—could soon be replaced by more transparent systems, research suggests.
