BingoCGN, a scalable and efficient graph neural network accelerator that enables inference of real-time, large-scale graphs through graph partitioning, has been developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. This breakthrough framework utilizes an innovative cross-partition message...
New York state to build nuclear power plant
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans Monday to build a nuclear power facility, enlisting a state agency for the first major new US nuclear construction since 2009.
Semantic watermarks for AI image recognition can b...
Images generated by artificial intelligence (AI) are often almost indistinguishable from real images to the human eye. Watermarks—visible or invisible markers embedded in image files—may be the key to verifying whether an image was generated by AI. So-called semantic...
OpenAI scrubs mention of Jony Ive partnership afte...
A budding partnership between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and legendary iPhone designer Jony Ive to develop a new artificial intelligence hardware product has hit a legal snag after a federal judge ruled they must temporarily stop marketing the new...
Stealthy ship hull cuts through waves like butter
Borrowing from drug-smuggling subs, Michigan engineers are helping the Navy design autonomous ships that blend in with the ocean surface.
Owls' silent flight inspires new noise reduction t...
If you've seen an owl fly, you probably didn't hear a thing. That's because their skin and feathers dampen sound by absorbing high- and low-frequency flight noise.
Here's why the public needs to challenge the 'good...
While there's been much negative discussion about AI, including about the possibility that it will take over the world, the public is also being bombarded with positive messages about the technology, and what it can do.
AI is consuming more power than the grid can handl...
New partnerships are forming between tech companies and power operators—ones that could reshape decades of misconceptions about nuclear energy.
How the end of carbon capture could spark a new in...
The U.S. Department of Energy's decision to claw back US$3.7 billion in grants from industrial demonstration projects may create an unexpected opening for American manufacturing.
To spur the construction of affordable, resilient ...
Wood is, by far, the most common material used in the U.S. for single-family home construction.
Where did the wonder go, and can AI help us find i...
French philosopher René Descartes crowned human reason in 1637 as the foundation of existence: "Cogito, ergo sum"—"I think, therefore I am." For centuries, our capacity to doubt, question and think has been both our compass and our identity. But...
South Africa's big rooftops could power six millio...
South Africa has many factories, warehouses, schools and hospitals—big buildings with large rooftop spaces. In such a sunny country, these flat surfaces would be perfect for large photovoltaic solar systems that could generate enough renewable energy to supply themselves,...
New research reveals Uber's algorithmic pricing le...
A new study from researchers in the University of Oxford's Department of Computer Science has found that Uber's use of dynamic pricing has led to higher fares for passengers and lower earnings for drivers, while increasing Uber's share of...
New laser power converters can transmit power to f...
From smart grids to the internet of things, the modern world is increasingly reliant on connectivity between electronic devices. Thanks to University of Ottawa researchers, these devices can now be simultaneously connected and powered with a simple optical fiber...
High-capacity battery anode material offers graphi...
Skoltech researchers have investigated the use of polyaromatic hydrocarbons as anode materials in metal-ion batteries. The high capacity, low operating voltage, and high electronic conductivity of carbon-based compounds make them a promising anode material.
Crash dummies used in car safety tests are still m...
Maria Weston Kuhn had one lingering question about the car crash that forced her to have emergency surgery during a vacation in Ireland: Why did she and her mother sustain serious injuries while her father and brother, who sat...
