More than 8 billion people are alive on Earth today. The more our population increases, the more strain we put on our resources. Scientists are looking at insect protein as an integral part of feeding our future world. In fact, the insect…

Temperature swings in harsh environments wreak havoc on cameras and their optical performance. Research shows that the lens mounting structure is critical to ensure lens systems remain robust even when temperatures have a wide range.…

Arcadia, a UK charitable foundation that works to preserve nature and cultural heritage and promotes open access to knowledge, donated $10 million to MIT Press to establish the Arcadia Open Acess Fund. The fund will support the MIT…

A research team led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley has engineered bacteria to produce new-to-nature carbon products that could provide a powerful route to sustainable biochemicals, offering…

Now, an AI-based semantic decoder can translate a person's brain activity while listening to a story, or silently imagining telling a story, into a continuous stream of text. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, it…

What happens during our last moments? Phenomena like near-death experiences, white light and tunnels, conversations with higher powers, and seeing friends and family that have already passed are more than fascinating. Given the number of…

University of Pittsburg auditory neuroscientists published a paper in Communications Biology describing how a machine learning model helps explain how the brain recognizes the meaning of communication sounds. The algorithm used models of…

We know that quantum computing isn't based on the 1s and 0s of binary encoding. While quantum computers grew out of the binary system, physical systems that encode their quantum bits (qubits) have the potential also to encode quantum digits…

A new quantum material with magnetic properties may pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy-efficient computers and mobile devices. While these materials tend to work only in cold temperatures, a research team at Chalmers…

If you're an AI expert drawn to everything about space, here's a challenge for you. The Ariel Data Challenge 2023 is inviting AI and machine learning experts from industry and academia to help astronomers understand exoplanets. Dr. Ingo…
