Published Jellyfish-like robots could one day clean up the world's oceans
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Roboticists have developed a jellyfish-inspired underwater robot with which they hope one day to collect waste from the bottom of the ocean. The almost noise-free prototype can trap objects underneath its body without physical contact, thereby enabling safe interactions in delicate environments such as coral reefs. Jellyfish-Bot could become an important tool for environmental remediation.
Published Cheaper method for making woven displays and smart fabrics -- of any size or shape
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed next-generation smart textiles -- incorporating LEDs, sensors, energy harvesting, and storage -- that can be produced inexpensively, in any shape or size, using the same machines used to make the clothing we wear every day.
Published Nanowire networks learn and remember like a human brain
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have demonstrated nanowire networks can exhibit both short- and long-term memory like the human brain.
Published ChatGPT is still no match for humans when it comes to accounting
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source ChatGPT faced off against students on accounting assessments. Students scored an overall average of 76.7%, compared to ChatGPT's score of 47.4%. On a 11.3% of questions, ChatGPT scored higher than the student average, doing particularly well on AIS and auditing. But the AI bot did worse on tax, financial, and managerial assessments, possibly because ChatGPT struggled with the mathematical processes required for the latter type.
Published AI system can generate novel proteins that meet structural design targets
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new machine-learning system can generate protein designs with certain structural features, and which do not exist in nature. These proteins could be utilized to make materials that have similar mechanical properties to existing materials, like polymers, but which would have a much smaller carbon footprint.
Published Quantum entanglement could make accelerometers and dark matter sensors more accurate
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The 'spooky action at a distance' that once unnerved Einstein may be on its way to being as pedestrian as the gyroscopes that currently measure acceleration in smartphones.
Published Rock, paper, scissors: Searching for stronger nonlocality using quantum computers
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source In the quantum world particles can instantaneously know about each other's state, even when separated by large distances. This is known as nonlocality. Now, A research group has produced some interesting findings on the Hardy nonlocality that have important ramifications for understanding quantum mechanics and its potential applications in communications.
Published Long-distance quantum teleportation enabled by multiplexed quantum memories
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers report having achieved quantum teleportation from a photon to a solid-state qubit over a distance of 1km, with a novel approach using multiplexed quantum memories.
Published Team designs four-legged robotic system that can walk a balance beam
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have designed a system that makes an off-the-shelf quadruped robot nimble enough to walk a narrow balance beam -- a feat that is likely the first of its kind.
Published Processing data at the speed of light
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have developed an extremely small and fast nano-excitonic transistor.
Published It's all in the wrist: Energy-efficient robot hand learns how not to drop the ball
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have designed a low-cost, energy-efficient robotic hand that can grasp a range of objects -- and not drop them -- using just the movement of its wrist and the feeling in its 'skin'.
Published Table tennis brain teaser: Playing against robots makes our brains work harder
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Brain scans taken during table tennis reveal differences in how we respond to human versus machine opponents.
Published Technology advance paves way to more realistic 3D holograms for virtual reality and more
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a new way to create dynamic ultrahigh-density 3D holographic projections. They now describe their new approach, called three-dimensional scattering-assisted dynamic holography (3D-SDH). They show that it can achieve a depth resolution more than three orders of magnitude greater than state-of-the-art methods for multiplane holographic projection.
Published New cyber software can verify how much knowledge AI really knows
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source With a growing interest in generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems worldwide, researchers have created software that is able to verify how much information an AI farmed from an organization's digital database.
Published Origami-inspired robots can sense, analyze and act in challenging environments
(via sciencedaily.com) A multidisciplinary team has created a new fabrication technique for fully foldable robots that can perform a variety of complex tasks without relying on semiconductors.
Published Robotic hand can identify objects with just one grasp
(via sciencedaily.com) Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.
Published English language pushes everyone -- even AI chatbots -- to improve by adding
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A linguistic bias in the English language that leads us to 'improve' things by adding to them, rather than taking away, is so common that it is even ingrained in AI chatbots, a new study reveals.
Published Can AI predict how you'll vote in the next election?
(via sciencedaily.com) Artificial intelligence technologies like ChatGPT are seemingly doing everything these days: writing code, composing music, and even creating images so realistic you'll think they were taken by professional photographers. Add thinking and responding like a human to the conga line of capabilities. A recent study proves that artificial intelligence can respond to complex survey questions just like a real human.
Published New chip design to provide greatest precision in memory to date
(via sciencedaily.com) Everyone is talking about the newest AI and the power of neural networks, forgetting that software is limited by the hardware on which it runs. But it is hardware become 'the bottleneck.' New collaborators might change that. They believe that they have developed a new type of chip with the best memory of any chip thus far for edge AI (AI in portable devices). To put it in context, right now, ChatGPT is running on a cloud. The new innovation, followed by some further development, could put the power of a mini version of ChatGPT in everyone's personal device. It could make such high-powered tech more affordable and accessible for all sorts of applications.
Published First silicon integrated ECRAM for a practical AI accelerator
(via sciencedaily.com) The transformative changes brought by deep learning and artificial intelligence are accompanied by immense costs. For example, OpenAI's ChatGPT algorithm costs at least $100,000 every day to operate. This could be reduced with accelerators, or computer hardware designed to efficiently perform the specific operations of deep learning. However, such a device is only viable if it can be integrated with mainstream silicon-based computing hardware on the material level.
