When the World Wide Web went live in the early 1990s, its founders hoped it would be a space for anyone to share information and collaborate. But today, the free and open web is shrinking.When the World Wide Web went live in the early 1990s, its founders hoped it would be a space for anyone to share information and collaborate.

An agentic AI tool for battery researchers harnesses data from previous battery designs to predict the cycle life of new battery concepts. With information from just 50 cycles, the tool—developed at University of Michigan Engineering—can predict how many charge-discharge cycles the battery can undergo before its capacity drops below 90% of its design capacity.An agentic AI tool for battery researchers harnesses data from previous battery designs to predict the cycle life of new battery concepts.

From autonomous cars to video games, reinforcement learning (machine learning through interaction with environments) can have an important impact. That may feel especially true, for example, when you’re a passenger late for dinner in an autonomous car that has learned the efficient way home. Work in Jr-Shin Li’s lab develops mathematically rigorous and computationally efficient techniques to transform extremely complex reinforcement learning problems into a manageable domain.From autonomous cars to video games, reinforcement learning (machine learning through interaction with environments) can have an important impact.

New research that surveyed more than 440 project managers worldwide has highlighted the critical connection between mindfulness and the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in the workplace. Lead author of the study, Dr. Eden Li from the School of Business and Law at Edith Cowan University (ECU) said that effective GenAI adoption requires not only technical skills but also mindfulness to navigate its complexities and challenges.New research that surveyed more than 440 project managers worldwide has highlighted the critical connection between mindfulness and the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in the workplace.

As the International Olympic Committee (IOC) embraces AI-assisted judging, this technology promises greater consistency and improved transparency. Yet research suggests that trust, legitimacy, and cultural values may matter just as much as technical accuracy.As the International Olympic Committee (IOC) embraces AI-assisted judging, this technology promises greater consistency and improved transparency.

By now, it’s no secret that large language models (LLMs) are experts at mimicking natural language. Trained on vast troves of data, these models have proven themselves capable of generating text so convincing that it regularly appears humanlike to readers. But is there any difference between how we think about a word and how an LLM does?By now, it’s no secret that large language models (LLMs) are experts at mimicking natural language.

Additive manufacturing has revolutionized manufacturing by enabling customized, cost-effective products with minimal waste. However, with the majority of 3D printers operating on open-loop systems, they are notoriously prone to failure. Minor changes, like adjustments to nozzle size or print speed, can lead to print errors that mechanically weaken the part under production.Additive manufacturing has revolutionized manufacturing by enabling customized, cost-effective products with minimal waste.
