Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources. While concrete numbers are hard to pin down, some estimates suggest that more than 60% of data used for AI applications in 2024 was synthetic, and this figure is expected to grow across industries.Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources.

Professional sports teams pour millions of dollars into data analytics, using advanced tracking systems to study every sprint, pass, and decision on the field. The results of that analysis, however, are industry secrets, making many sports difficult for researchers to study.Professional sports teams pour millions of dollars into data analytics, using advanced tracking systems to study every sprint, pass, and decision on the field.

In everyday life, it’s a no-brainer to be able to grab a cup of coffee from the table. Multiple sensory inputs such as sight (seeing how far away the cup is) and touch are combined in real-time. However, recreating this in artificial intelligence (AI) is not quite as easy.In everyday life, it’s a no-brainer to be able to grab a cup of coffee from the table.

The Emerging Investigator Series by the journal Materials Horizons features outstanding work by young researchers in the field of materials science. In the latest Editorial, Dr. Eunho Lee, an Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Seoul National University of Science and Technology, Republic of Korea, where he leads the Functional Semiconductors and Devices Lab, discusses and elaborates upon his Emerging Investigator Series research paper titled “Improving ion uptake in artificial synapses through facilitated diffusion mechanisms.”The Emerging Investigator Series by the journal Materials Horizons features outstanding work by young researchers in the field of materials science.

You’ve probably encountered images in your social media feeds that look like a cross between photographs and computer-generated graphics. Some are fantastical—think Shrimp Jesus—and some are believable at a quick glance—remember the little girl clutching a puppy in a boat during a flood?You’ve probably encountered images in your social media feeds that look like a cross between photographs and computer-generated graphics.

In July, EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS announced their joint initiative to build a large language model (LLM). Now, this model is available and serves as a building block for developers and organizations for future applications such as chatbots, translation systems, or educational tools.In July, EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS announced their joint initiative to build a large language model (LLM).
