The metric might not mean much to laypeople, but leap seconds have been a source of contention in the timekeeping community for years. Now, they’re dead.

Information about food properties that determine quality, safety and sensory characteristics is critical for food product development and processing design, but it is spread across thousands of scientific papers written over decades, making it difficult for food engineers to access and analyze data.

The automaker unveiled its next luxury sports car at an event in Texas. It has thrusters on it that can send it airborne.

A research team has discovered that AI assistants can easily manipulate users into making disadvantageous decisions when the AI operates with a hidden agenda.

With the midterm elections just a few weeks away, the White House knows it has to go all in on Senate races—while virtually forfeiting the House.

A new study reveals that people draw a surprisingly sharp line between human consciousness and artificial intelligence, even when both behave identically.

Artificial intelligence can do remarkable things, but how much does it actually understand about the world? Researchers have found that surprisingly specific information can be extracted from the inner workings of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. Using mathematical tools to probe a model’s internal activity, they can identify where a city is located on …

Chatbot prompts reveal the engineer’s alleged efforts to set up a covert listening device days before one was found in a meeting room used by high-level executives.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising hidden ability of light that allows it to develop spinning, twisting behavior as it travels through empty space, without special lenses, mirrors, or materials. Researchers discovered that light’s internal geometry can naturally produce left- and right-handed patterns, challenging long-standing assumptions about how light behaves. By carefully arranging a beam’s structure, …
