Doing an experiment with a cake on a cookie sounds simple. But when researchers from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) developed a unique dataset for combining 2D graphene and 3D tin, the process was all but simple—it required a great deal of computing power.Doing an experiment with a cake on a cookie sounds simple.

Twenty years ago, nanotechnology was the artificial intelligence of its time. The specific details of these technologies are, of course, a world apart. But the challenges of ensuring each technology’s responsible and beneficial development are surprisingly alike. Nanotechnology, which is technologies at the scale of individual atoms and molecules, even carried its own existential risk in the form of “gray goo.”Twenty years ago, nanotechnology was the artificial intelligence of its time.

Pulling inspiration from the natural world, researchers at Colorado State University have developed a trio of robots that can morph their bodies and legs as needed to better crawl, shimmy or swim over difficult terrain.Pulling inspiration from the natural world, researchers at Colorado State University have developed a trio of robots that can morph their bodies and legs as needed to better crawl, shimmy or swim over difficult terrain.[#item_full_content]
New research by psychologists Lucía Vicente and Helena Matute from Deusto University in Bilbao, Spain, provides evidence that people can inherit artificial intelligence biases (systematic errors in AI outputs) in their decisions.New research by psychologists Lucía Vicente and Helena Matute from Deusto University in Bilbao, Spain, provides evidence that people can inherit artificial intelligence biases (systematic errors in AI outputs) in their decisions.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]
Landing a helicopter on a ship’s flight deck is one of the most challenging and complex maneuvers demanded of a Navy pilot. Unlike a runway, the landing area of any ship is small and a constantly moving target that sways with the sea. Solutions have been proposed to automate ship landing. Still, none have effectively held up to the added challenges helicopter pilots face when nature delivers gusty winds, especially in the wake of a ship, low visibility and other challenging environments.Landing a helicopter on a ship’s flight deck is one of the most challenging and complex maneuvers demanded of a Navy pilot.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told a US court on Monday that Google’s dominance of the search engine market made it very hard for rivals to emerge, hitting out sharply at the business practices of his company’s archrival.Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told a US court on Monday that Google’s dominance of the search engine market made it very hard for rivals to emerge, hitting out sharply at the business practices of his company’s archrival.Business[#item_full_content]
The beauty of a nice infographic published alongside a news or magazine story is that it makes numeric data more accessible to the average reader. But for blind and visually impaired users, such graphics often have the opposite effect.The beauty of a nice infographic published alongside a news or magazine story is that it makes numeric data more accessible to the average reader.
