With artificial intelligence (AI) data centers consuming electricity at a growing rate, identifying a sustainable computing solution to offset these massive community and environmental disruptors is proving critical.
It's important for a robot not just to learn a task optimally, but to complete it without going off the rails of reasonable expectations. Until now, roboticists could have one or the other. Aerospace engineering researchers in The Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, combined reinforcement learning with control theory to guarantee robot stability and improve tracking performance by up to 15% compared with existing methods.
The start of a new battery materials library could pave the way for future AI models to help scientists design sodium-ion batteries that charge faster, last longer and store more energy, according to new research from the University of Surrey.
The arrival of cooler weather following a summer of heat waves is a timely reminder that the U.K. electricity system must be resilient to the effects of temperature extremes at both ends of the thermometer.
Could a magnetic field be used to identify in advance which OLEDs will keep smartphone and TV screens bright the longest? A KAIST research team has developed a technique that predicts OLED lifetime by analyzing small changes in brightness caused by a magnetic field. The technique reduces the need for long operating tests and is expected to support the development of longer-lasting displays.
Machines don't have to become superintelligent to cause catastrophic harm. As artificial intelligence spreads through military decision-making, they just have to be wrong—and trusted by the humans in charge.
People experiencing technology-facilitated abuse, such as spyware on a phone, an ex tracking their location or an abuser controlling their accounts, may encounter or turn to AI chatbots for help. But a new study led by researchers at NYU Tandon finds that the advice those systems provide is frequently inaccurate, incomplete or potentially unsafe to follow.
The European Union opened an investigation into online travel agent Booking.com on Wednesday over alleged failures to tackle fake listings and phishing scams.
The United States Department of Homeland Security ordered government agencies on Monday to stop using artificial intelligence tools from DeepSeek, citing concerns over data being transferred to China.
Self-driving electric taxi fleets could make transportation more efficient and sustainable, but only if vehicles can continuously make smart decisions about where to drive and when to recharge. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have now developed a new optimization method that enables near-optimal large-scale fleet control while accounting for uncertainties that arise in real-world transportation systems.
Researchers have developed an air-purifying vehicle technology that removes fine particulate matter from surrounding air as a vehicle moves and captures brake wear particles before they are released. The technology uses the vehicle's existing structure to purify roadside air and directly capture brake wear particles at the source.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged players in Europe's lagging artificial intelligence industry to get going and touted a modular system to quickly build AI data centers he says are sorely needed by developers on the continent.
Two years after releasing its last virtual reality product, Meta has announced plans to release virtual reality (VR) glasses. They are due to reach the market in spring 2027.
Imagine you're involved with someone who knows exactly what captures your attention. They know what makes you laugh, what makes you angry and which topics you like to talk about. They've been paying attention. They've learned what keeps you engaged.
Korean researchers have developed an AI technology for self-driving laboratories (SDLs) that incorporates researchers' experience and knowledge, expressed in natural language, into autonomous experimental planning.
Until recently, buying a car meant obsessing over horsepower, transmission types and brand heritage. But step into the market today and the showroom floor looks entirely different.
Most people who have an electric car have access to a driveway or private parking. In England, 90% of EV owners can park easily and charge theirs from home. But roughly 40% of U.K. households don't have off-street parking, so the questions are how they would charge an EV and whether easy access to home charging would influence their decision to acquire one.
