On Dec. 21, 2022, just as peak holiday season travel was getting underway, Southwest Airlines went through a cascading series of failures in their scheduling, initially triggered by severe winter weather in the Denver area. But the problems spread through their network, and over the course of the next 10 days the crisis ended up stranding more than 2 million passengers and causing losses of $750 million for the airline.On Dec. 21, 2022, just as peak holiday season travel was getting underway, Southwest Airlines went through a cascading series of failures in their scheduling, initially triggered by severe winter weather in the Denver area.

Researchers at the Center for Innovative Integrated Electronic Systems (CIES), Tohoku University, have achieved the world’s lowest write power for a specific type of memory storage device. Not only does this device boast record-breaking energy-efficiency, but it is also incredibly fast. This finding may lead to revolutionary advancements in memory storage device technology that also contribute to a greener, more efficient future.Researchers at the Center for Innovative Integrated Electronic Systems (CIES), Tohoku University, have achieved the world’s lowest write power for a specific type of memory storage device.

The information age is built on mathematics. From finding the best route between two points, predicting the future load on a national power grid or tomorrow’s weather, to identifying ideal treatment options for diseases, algorithms share a common structure: they take input data, process it through a series of calculations, and deliver an output.The information age is built on mathematics.

The ocean is teeming with life. But unless you get up close, much of the marine world can easily remain unseen. That’s because water itself can act as an effective cloak: Light that shines through the ocean can bend, scatter, and quickly fade as it travels through the dense medium of water and reflects off the persistent haze of ocean particles. This makes it extremely challenging to capture the true color of objects in the ocean without imaging them at close range.The ocean is teeming with life.

We need to learn our letters before we can learn to read and our numbers before we can learn how to add and subtract. The same principles are true with AI, a team of New York University scientists has shown through laboratory experiments and computational modeling.We need to learn our letters before we can learn to read and our numbers before we can learn how to add and subtract.

Machine learning algorithms and large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of the platform ChatGPT, have proved to be effective in tackling a wide range of tasks. These models are trained on various types of data (e.g., texts, images, videos, and/or audio recordings), which are typically annotated by humans, who label important features, including the emotions expressed in the data.Machine learning algorithms and large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of the platform ChatGPT, have proved to be effective in tackling a wide range of tasks.

In recent years, the expansion of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations has made satellite communications cool again. From providing internet access in remote regions to enabling near-instant data delivery across oceans, these networks are set to play an even greater role in the years ahead.In recent years, the expansion of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations has made satellite communications cool again.
