System reliability and safety are paramount across industries such as semiconductors, energy, automotive, and steel, where even microscopic cracks or defects within structures can critically affect performance. Since these internal flaws are invisible to the naked eye, the health of materials and structures has long been assessed using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques. NDT allows the examination of internal conditions without damaging the structure itself. However, in practice, it remains extremely difficult to identify internal defects precisely and in detail.System reliability and safety are paramount across industries such as semiconductors, energy, automotive, and steel, where even microscopic cracks or defects within structures can critically affect performance.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used not only to generate content but also to evaluate it. They are asked to grade essays, moderate social media content, summarize reports, screen job applications and much more.Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used not only to generate content but also to evaluate it.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to preserve the voices and stories of the dead. From text-based chatbots that mimic loved ones to voice avatars that let you “speak” with the deceased, a growing digital afterlife industry promises to make memory interactive, and, in some cases, eternal.Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to preserve the voices and stories of the dead.

Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have harnessed artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of new functional magnetic materials, creating a searchable database of 67,573 magnetic materials, including 25 previously unrecognized compounds that remain magnetic even at high temperatures.Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have harnessed artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of new functional magnetic materials, creating a searchable database of 67,573 magnetic materials, including 25 previously unrecognized compounds that remain magnetic even at high temperatures.Engineering[#item_full_content]
Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Hyun Oh Song from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering has developed a new AI technology called KVzip that intelligently compresses the conversation memory of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots used in long-context tasks such as extended dialog and document summarization. The study is published on the arXiv preprint server.Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Hyun Oh Song from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering has developed a new AI technology called KVzip that intelligently compresses the conversation memory of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots used in long-context tasks such as extended dialog and document summarization.
