New research shows that AI doesn’t need endless training data to start acting more like a human brain. When researchers redesigned AI systems to better resemble biological brains, some models produced brain-like activity without any training at all. This challenges today’s data-hungry approach to AI development. The work suggests smarter design could dramatically speed up …
The administration has made it clear that Nicolás Maduro’s capture was tied to Venezuela’s vast oil reserves. Much less certain is how US companies will actually access them—or if they even want to.
Donald Trump says that Venezuela’s governance will remain in the hands of senior US officials until a “proper and judicious transition” can take place. The rest of the region is on notice.
Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive optical networks, in particular, enable large-scale parallel computation through the use of passive structured phase masks and the propagation of light. However, one major challenge remains: systems trained in model-based simulations often fail to perform optimally in real experimental settings, …

Full-year electric vehicle sales figures have dropped for 2025, revealing China’s BYD is now officially global top dog.
Factor meal kits offer a free $200 Withings body-scanning scale after a three-week subscription. I was afraid, then maybe a little motivated?
The reborn Commodore 64 is an astonishing remake—but daunting if you weren’t there the first time around.
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel AI system capable of grading and providing detailed feedback on even the most untidy handwritten math answers—much like a human instructor.
A fun diversion for retro gaming on the Nintendo Switch 2—if you can stand to look at it.
These days, large language models can handle increasingly complex tasks, writing complex code and engaging in sophisticated reasoning. But when it comes to four-digit multiplication, a task taught in elementary school, even state-of-the-art systems fail. Why?
