Just as a clogged kitchen sink can bring household routines to a halt, a blockage in a nuclear reactor’s heat exchanger can slow operations and require urgent attention. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are now using artificial intelligence to spot these hidden clogs early. This approach will help molten-salt-cooled …

Washington and Beijing have grown ever more linked in the AI boom, making hardware exports and technological restrictions hefty bargaining chips in negotiations.

Digital computing using silicon chips has transformed nearly every aspect of modern life and enabled the remarkable growth of artificial intelligence. But as AI models scale up, that growth comes with increasing demands for energy, water and computing infrastructure.

Thermacell LIV 2.0 is expensive and imperfect, but it outperforms nearly every mosquito-control method I’ve tried.

AI labs are toying with an industry-wide pact to slow development. Meanwhile, widely available AI chatbots are already helping uncover a tidal wave of security flaws.

Once a distant ambition for technology researchers, the prospect of artificial intelligence models teaching themselves autonomously to be more efficient and capable appears ever closer to reality.

The Ultra 4 gets smarter about health tracking and lasts longer between charges. But for most people, the Series 12 gets close enough.

A research team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a new modeling and optimization framework that helps researchers design modularized autonomous experimentation (MAE) platforms for new materials by determining the optimal combination of equipment before construction begins, thereby reducing time and cost before the platform is physically built.

This week on “Uncanny Valley,” we discuss three possible AI doomsday scenarios, AI safety, and the unexpected bipartisan alliance forming against AI.

Artificial intelligence has gradually made its way into many areas of life with abilities that often match or surpass those of humans. But a study published in the journal iScience finds that AI-powered machines have trouble recognizing objects from their overall shapes when aspects of an image are distorted. The findings offer a new way …
