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.

Embedded systems such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and single-board computers possess limited memory and processing power, necessitating the effective management of these constraints. This makes Linux—a flexible and cost-effective platform—promising for embedded systems. Indeed, Linux-based operating systems, including Ubuntu Core, Raspberry Pi OS, BalenaOS, and OpenWrt, are commonly used for a wide variety of embedded devices. However, ptmalloc—its default memory allocator—is often unable to satisfy the needs of all applications.Embedded systems such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and single-board computers possess limited memory and processing power, necessitating the effective management of these constraints.

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).
