X-ray tomography is a powerful tool that enables scientists and engineers to peer inside of objects in 3D, including computer chips and advanced battery materials, without performing anything invasive. It’s the same basic method behind medical CT scans.X-ray tomography is a powerful tool that enables scientists and engineers to peer inside of objects in 3D, including computer chips and advanced battery materials, without performing anything invasive.

Think, know, understand, remember. These are just a few of the mental verbs we use every day to describe what happens in a person’s mind. But when using these same words to talk about artificial intelligence, we can unintentionally make AI sound human.Think, know, understand, remember.

The sheen of satin, the subtle glints of twill, the translucence of sheer silk: Fabric has long been difficult to render digitally because of the myriad ways different yarns can be woven or knitted together.The sheen of satin, the subtle glints of twill, the translucence of sheer silk: Fabric has long been difficult to render digitally because of the myriad ways different yarns can be woven or knitted together.[#item_full_content]
Training artificial intelligence models is costly. Researchers estimate that training costs for the largest frontier models will exceed $1 billion by 2027. Costs are incurred through hardware, including large data centers, energy needs and salaries for research and development staff. The massive training price tag limits the labs and researchers that can afford to work with this technology.Training artificial intelligence models is costly.
