An electric knifefish shimmies in the water for the same reason a dog sniffs or a human glances around a new place—to make sense of their surroundings. For the first time, scientists demonstrate that a wide range of organisms, even microbes, perform the same pattern of movements in order to sense the world.An electric knifefish shimmies in the water for the same reason a dog sniffs or a human glances around a new place—to make sense of their surroundings.

At EPFL’s CREATE lab, under the guidance of Josie Hughes, a breakthrough has been made in the realm of soft robotics. Drawing inspiration from the versatile movement of elephant trunks and octopus tentacles, the team introduced the trimmed helicoid—a novel robotic structure that promises greater compliance and control in robotic designs.At EPFL’s CREATE lab, under the guidance of Josie Hughes, a breakthrough has been made in the realm of soft robotics.

Humans have the ability to learn a new concept and then immediately use it to understand related uses of that concept—once children know how to “skip,” they understand what it means to “skip twice around the room” or “skip with your hands up.”Humans have the ability to learn a new concept and then immediately use it to understand related uses of that concept—once children know how to “skip,” they understand what it means to “skip twice around the room” or “skip with your hands up.”Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
With the advent of LensaAI, ChatGPT and other highly performing generative machine learning models, the internet is now growing increasingly saturated with texts, images logos and videos created by artificial intelligence (AI). This content, broadly referred to as AI generated content (AIGC), could often be easily mistaken for content created by humans or any computational models.With the advent of LensaAI, ChatGPT and other highly performing generative machine learning models, the internet is now growing increasingly saturated with texts, images logos and videos created by artificial intelligence (AI).
