Airbus said Tuesday its A350-1000ULR widebody aircraft, capable of flying up to 22 hours nonstop, has successfully completed a first test flight.

Microsoft on Tuesday unveiled its own cutting-edge artificial intelligence models in San Francisco—a crucial step toward reducing its dependence on OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT.

Researchers at a Scottish university have demonstrated a 100kW fully superconducting aviation motor that could help pave the way for an electric aircraft.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) have developed an adaptive charging strategy for lithium-ion batteries that could help electric vehicles (EVs) charge efficiently while reducing a major cause of battery degradation known as lithium plating. Published in the Journal of Energy Storage, the study introduces a self-adjusting charging framework that dynamically protects batteries from internal degradation while optimizing charging efficiency and time across varying temperature and health conditions.

If you are fortunate enough to have a ticket to an event at Madison Square Garden in New York—say, an NBA Finals game—one aspect of your visit will be having your face scanned by a facial recognition system.

As semiconductor chips become increasingly thinner, the components inside chips are locked in a fierce race to achieve the ultimate ultra-thin state. However, this has presented a structural limitation: the thinner the device, the harder it is for electricity to flow.

A research group led by Prof. Sungjune Park from the Department of Chemical Engineering has developed an ultra-stretchable, anti-freezing hydrogel electrolyte using liquid metal particles. The material can stretch up to nine times its original length while maintaining stable electrochemical performance, even at −20 °C. This work provides a promising platform for energy storage devices that must operate reliably under extreme environmental conditions.

Anthropic on Tuesday gave approximately 150 organizations around the world access to Mythos, its powerful new AI model whose rapid ability to identify weaknesses in computer security has sparked global concern.

Imagine working at a warehouse or office sometime in the near future, and you're asked to help a new trainee learn the basics of their job. The catch: It's a robot. To teach them, you might want to play a game of "show and tell"—that is, physically showing how to do something a few different ways, while also explaining what you're doing.

A new study from the University of Aberdeen's Interdisciplinary Center for Energy Transition warns that intensifying competition for offshore space is placing the U.K.'s energy transition at risk and calls for the creation of a single overarching regulatory body to manage competing demands and ensure the best national outcomes.

A Japan–U.S. collaborative research team has demonstrated the world's first integrated spintronic probabilistic bit, or p-bit, fabricated on a silicon chip using semiconductor manufacturing processes. The team, consisting of researchers from Tohoku University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, experimentally verified the operation of the p-bit, a key building block for probabilistic, or p-, computers. The achievement provides a pathway toward large-scale spintronic p-computers for applications such as AI and machine learning.

EPFL researchers are developing AI models that could one day enable vision prosthetics able to restore meaningful, object-level sight for the blind. The research, from the NeuroAI Lab of Martin Schrimpf, part of EPFL's Schools of Computer and Communication Sciences and Life Sciences, uses AI models to predict exactly where to stimulate the brain to evoke images of faces and specific objects in the users instead of simply evoking spots of light.

A researcher analyzing reams of data. A traveler translating a foreign language. A student writing an essay. There are many ways that artificial intelligence has been proven to help an individual in a challenging situation. Northeastern University researcher Lorenzo Torresani wanted to test whether AI can help a group facing a challenge, and he found an interesting dataset with which to evaluate various popular AI models: sports footage.

Google parent Alphabet announced Monday it plans to raise up to $80 billion in stock to fund a major expansion of its artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, with Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway committing $10 billion as part of the deal.

Brazilian teenager Leo Veiga had almost given up on his dream of becoming a professional soccer player when artificial intelligence helped him secure a spot in the youth ranks of an Italian club.

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has upgraded its Ocean Simulation Laboratories with a new 30-inch diameter pressure vessel. This new vessel allows SwRI to test larger equipment at conditions that simulate full-ocean depth and features a novel SwRI-designed quick-acting closure.

The JC STEM Lab of Circular Bio-economy (the Lab) at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has recently achieved a breakthrough in the field of sustainable development technologies. A research team led by Professor Lee Duu-Jong, Director of the Lab and Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has successfully developed a bio-inspired "all-weather building skin" that cools in sunlight and harvests energy from rain, alongside a "turbocharged" solar hydrogen system powered by low-cost copper ions.

A peacock feather in sunlight shifts from blue to green to bronze as you turn it. Photograph it, and this shimmer collapses into one angle, one exposure, one compromise.
