Today’s AI vision is effective at recognizing simple images in isolation—such as buildings, cars, and people. But when it’s called upon to identify more complex terrain, its accuracy becomes questionable. This is one of the challenges facing self-driving car technology. AI visual systems must correctly spot buildings, cars, and people—all at the same time and in a fluid environment, such as a busy intersection.Today’s AI vision is effective at recognizing simple images in isolation—such as buildings, cars, and people.

Vibe coding. It’s a term that’s bubbling around to describe a new wave of app creation. It means instead of writing code line by line, you build software by describing what you want in plain language—and an AI agent generates the code for you.Vibe coding.

A team of scientists from China and the U.S. is pioneering the development of bubble-powered robots, which could one day replace needles for painless drug delivery into the body. Inspired by nature, the researchers developed a new technique that harnesses the energy released by a collapsing bubble in a liquid, a process known as cavitation.A team of scientists from China and the U.S. is pioneering the development of bubble-powered robots, which could one day replace needles for painless drug delivery into the body.
