Laser-based processes for metals are considered to be particularly versatile in industry. Lasers can be used, for example, to precision-weld components together or produce more complex parts using 3D printing—quickly, precisely and automatically. This is why laser processes are used in numerous sectors, such as the automotive and aviation industries, where maximum precision is required, or in medical technology, for example for the production of customized titanium implants.Laser-based processes for metals are considered to be particularly versatile in industry.

Can large language models (LLMs) reason by analogy? Some outputs suggest that they can, but it has been argued that these results reflect mimicry of the results of analogical reasoning in the models’ training data.Can large language models (LLMs) reason by analogy?

An experimental study suggests that people are less likely to behave in a trusting and cooperative manner when interacting with AI than when interacting with other humans. Scientists use experimental games to probe how humans make social decisions requiring both rational and moral thinking.An experimental study suggests that people are less likely to behave in a trusting and cooperative manner when interacting with AI than when interacting with other humans.

Can machines ever see the world as we see it? Researchers have uncovered compelling evidence that vision transformers (ViTs), a type of deep-learning model that specializes in image analysis, can spontaneously develop human-like visual attention patterns when trained without labeled instructions.Can machines ever see the world as we see it?

In 2024, 1,040 accidents were recorded on Spanish roads, in addition to minor collisions and other driving problems. The causes of these accidents include speeding, adverse weather conditions and substance abuse, but also distraction and stressful situations that can be mitigated by improving infrastructure design, technologies to assist drivers and road safety policies.In 2024, 1,040 accidents were recorded on Spanish roads, in addition to minor collisions and other driving problems.
