Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to medical devices. Accurate print previews are essential so users know a fabricated object will perform as expected. But previews generated by most 3D-printing software focus on function rather than aesthetics. A printed object may end up with a different color, texture, or shading than the user expected, resulting in multiple reprints that waste time, effort, and material.Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to medical devices.

Electrochemical deposition, or electroplating, is a common industrial technique that coats materials to improve corrosion resistance and protection, durability and hardness, conductivity and more. A Los Alamos National Laboratory team has developed generative diffusion-based AI models for electrochemistry, an innovative electrochemistry approach demonstrated with experimental data.Electrochemical deposition, or electroplating, is a common industrial technique that coats materials to improve corrosion resistance and protection, durability and hardness, conductivity and more.

When a person reaches across a table to pass the salt, their brain is doing something far more complex than recognizing a request and executing a movement. It is drawing on a lifetime of bodily experience—where their hand is in space, what a saltshaker feels like, the social awareness of who asked and why. In a fraction of a second, their body and brain are working as one.When a person reaches across a table to pass the salt, their brain is doing something far more complex than recognizing a request and executing a movement.

Over the past few decades, robotics researchers have developed a wide range of increasingly advanced robots that can autonomously complete various real-world tasks. To be successfully deployed in real-world settings, such as in public spaces, homes and office environments, these robots should be able to make sense of instructions provided by human users and adapt their actions accordingly.Over the past few decades, robotics researchers have developed a wide range of increasingly advanced robots that can autonomously complete various real-world tasks.

Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient. In the new research, recently published in Nature Communications, the Trinity team reported one such promising advance with collaborators at the University of Bath and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL).Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient.

When working on projects, architects must quickly turn rough concepts into visual representations. Text-to-image models offer an opportunity in this field, where high-quality designs can be generated simply by typing a description. Some of these systems can also incorporate rough sketches or depth information, offering additional control over the results.When working on projects, architects must quickly turn rough concepts into visual representations.

James Zou is a computer scientist at Stanford University who has been exploring how large language models (LLMs) can assist scientific peer review—and more broadly, how AI agents might accelerate research. It is a provocative topic in the scientific community and an important one to wrestle with as AI’s capabilities grow.James Zou is a computer scientist at Stanford University who has been exploring how large language models (LLMs) can assist scientific peer review—and more broadly, how AI agents might accelerate research.

A new study on how runners may choose to interact with self-driving cars is challenging assumptions on how automated vehicles will navigate safely on the roads of the future. Researchers at the University of Glasgow and KAIST in South Korea led the study, which used augmented reality tech to explore for the first time how runners’ behavior differs from walkers when they are crossing roads and junctions.A new study on how runners may choose to interact with self-driving cars is challenging assumptions on how automated vehicles will navigate safely on the roads of the future.
