If a machine-learning model is biased, it may be impossible to remove this bias later. If, for example, an unbalanced dataset focuses on skin color, predictions will be both unfair and unreliable in the real world. MIT researchers have…

Artificial neural networks solve complex tasks better than we can. They’re used in social media, streaming, online gaming, and other areas that target users with posts, movies, fun games, or other content that matches their individual…

Malaysia's Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) will be the first commercial network in the world to apply Dynamic Radio Resource Partitioning enabling six mobile network operators (MNOs) to deliver customized 5G services with guaranteed…

The fourth Biannual ICS Risk & Vulnerability Report from Claroty's Team82 has frightening findings, including: 34% of vulnerabilities affect IoT, IT, and medical devices Industrial control system vulnerability grew 110% over the…

In a research paper recently published in Space: Science & Technology, Qi Li from Beijing Institute of Spacecraft System Engineering studied aerodynamic characteristics of two types of Mars Ascent Vehicles (MAV). Those with slender…

A University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering research team announced a first--designing the basic elements for logic operations using liquid crystal. The team published their findings in Science Advances. Applications…

Fitbit just recalled its Ionic smartwatch. It seems the lithium-ion battery can overheat and cause a burn. Take it off and contact Fitbit to receive pre-paid packaging to return it. Upon receipt, Fitbit will issue a refund of $299 plus a…

The research group of Jörg Menche, Adjunct Principal Investigator at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Professor at the University of Vienna, and Group leader at Max Perutz Labs developed a…

Thin two-dimensional (2D) materials can exhibit excitonic properties, making them an attractive platform to explore polaritonic physics. Donghai Li and a group of researchers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg in Bavaria,…

Picture multiple programs running on one computer. Since they share the same memory hardware – they are at risk for a “memory timing side-channel attack.” Delays are inherent when programs try to access a computer's memory because of shared…

The University of Texas at Dallas and Oklahoma State University developed a new terahertz imager microchip that enables devices to detect and create images through obstacles including fog, smoke, dust, and snow. They are working to enable…

The stretchiness of films and gels enables wearables, soft robotics, and biocompatible tissue. These materials, however, can break them without warning. Researchers from the American Chemical Society have designed a compound with "wings"…

The few focused ultrasound devices for preclinical research are expensive, bulky, and lack the precision needed for small animal research. Hong Chen, associate professor of biomedical engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering and…

After long-duration spaceflight, structural connectivity changes happen in the brain. While reported by astronauts that spent long stints on the International Space Station (ISS), a study published in Frontiers in Neural Circuits analyzes…

Plants on Earth evolved to harness photosynthesis to survive, releasing the oxygen that changed our planet. Researchers led by Adam Frank, the Helen F. and Fred H. Gowen Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester,…
