Credit: Sharon McCutcheon/Unsplash A new study proposes that artificial intelligence (AI) can devise approaches to wealth distribution that are more popular than systems developed by people. The discoveries made by a group of researchers at UK-based AI firm DeepMind show that machine learning systems are not just proficient at fixing complicated physics and biology issues but...
The researchers' method: introducing ripples in 2D material, molybdenum disulfide to achieve two orders of magnitude enhancement in carrier mobility at room temperature, allowing electrons to move faster through the material.

A report states that Tesla and Honda's self-driving cars had 363 accidents in a year. We were assured a very near future where autonomous machines would be serving our demands and vehicle ownership would be rendered unneeded: robots would rapidly and effectively deliver our orders, and we might squeeze in a couple of more hours...
A wonder of engineering, Webb is able to gaze further into the cosmos than any telescope before it thanks to its enormous primary mirror and its instruments that focus on infrared, allowing it peer through dust and gas. NASA administrator Bill Nelson stated Wednesday that the agency will reveal the "inmost picture of our universe...
MIT researchers have developed a method to enable quantum sensors to detect any arbitrary frequency, with no loss of their ability to measure nanometer-scale features. Quantum sensors detect the most minute variations in magnetic or electrical fields, but until now they have only been capable of detecting a few specific frequencies, limiting their usefulness....

Zayner claims this was the second time he has genetically changed himself. Utilizing CRISPR, a fairly new gene-editing method,...
Identifying how neural activity changes with learning is anything but black and white. Recently, some have presumed that learning in the brain, or biological learning, may be visualized in terms of optimization, which is how learning happens in artificial networks like computers or robots. A new approaches piece co-authored by Carnegie Mellon University and University...

Researchers at IIT and INAIL in Italy are working on new concepts of wearable robotic exoskeletons for the reduction of the risks of work-related injuries. Credit: IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia Scientists at IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italian Institute of Technology) and INAIL (Italian Worker's Compensation Authority) have designed and produced innovative prototypes of wearable robotic...
University of Queensland researchers have cracked an issue that's frustrated chemists and physicists for many years, potentially causing a new age of effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly technologies Utilizing quantum mechanics, Professor Ben Powell from UQ's School of Mathematics and Physics has discovered a recipe that enables molecular switches to function at room temperature. "Switches are...
