Found in knee replacements and bone plates, aircraft components, and catalytic converters, the exceptionally strong metals known as multiple principal element alloys (MPEA) are about to get even stronger through artificial intelligence.Found in knee replacements and bone plates, aircraft components, and catalytic converters, the exceptionally strong metals known as multiple principal element alloys (MPEA) are about to get even stronger through artificial intelligence.Engineering[#item_full_content]
Over the last few years, virtual and augmented reality have become increasingly popular in education, but there is still a central, lingering question: How can students learn with this technology?Over the last few years, virtual and augmented reality have become increasingly popular in education, but there is still a central, lingering question: How can students learn with this technology?Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
Agents, chatbots and other tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly used in everyday life by many. So-called large language model (LLM)-based agents, such as ChatGPT and Llama, have become impressively fluent in the responses they form, but quite often provide convincing yet incorrect information.Agents, chatbots and other tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly used in everyday life by many.

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations—it’s a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few notes) triggers the memory of the entire pattern (the song), without you actually having to hear the rest of the song again. We use this handy neural mechanism to learn, remember, solve problems and generally navigate our reality.Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune?

Having humans participate in a study can be time-consuming and expensive for researchers stretching limited budgets on strict deadlines. Sophisticated, generative large language models (LLM) can complete many tasks, so some researchers and companies have explored the idea of using them in studies instead of human participants.Having humans participate in a study can be time-consuming and expensive for researchers stretching limited budgets on strict deadlines.

When Amazon recently got caught in President Trump’s crosshairs for reportedly planning to list the added costs of new tariffs on products sold at its online store, the drama underscored just how much is at stake for companies amid hiked-up taxes on U.S. imports.When Amazon recently got caught in President Trump’s crosshairs for reportedly planning to list the added costs of new tariffs on products sold at its online store, the drama underscored just how much is at stake for companies amid hiked-up taxes on U.S. imports.Business[#item_full_content]
Imagine a radiologist examining a chest X-ray from a new patient. She notices the patient has swelling in the tissue but does not have an enlarged heart. Looking to speed up diagnosis, she might use a vision-language machine-learning model to search for reports from similar patients.Imagine a radiologist examining a chest X-ray from a new patient.

People store large quantities of data in their electronic devices and transfer some of this data to others, whether for professional or personal reasons. Data compression methods are thus of the utmost importance, as they can boost the efficiency of devices and communications, making users less reliant on cloud data services and external storage devices.People store large quantities of data in their electronic devices and transfer some of this data to others, whether for professional or personal reasons.
