MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can create an entire working electric motor, complete with moving parts, in just three hours for only 50 cents in materials. This breakthrough could revolutionize manufacturing by letting companies print their own hardware on demand instead of waiting for parts to ship.
Researchers just figured out how to peek inside AI's "brain" and steer its behavior in less than a minute. The breakthrough could make artificial intelligence safer and more trustworthy for everyone.
Researchers developed a breakthrough tool that reveals how AI thinks and lets them guide its behavior—all in less than a minute. The technique works across multiple AI types and could make artificial intelligence safer and more trustworthy.
Microsoft just perfected a way to store digital information in glass for thousands of years, potentially preserving human culture forever. The breakthrough uses lasers and ordinary glass to create nearly eternal archives.
Researchers just figured out how to read information from Majorana qubits, the most promising building blocks for quantum computers that could resist errors and stay stable for actual use. The breakthrough solves a puzzle that's stumped scientists for years.
Scientists drowning in data finally have a digital partner that asks the questions they don't know to ask. The Allen Institute for AI just launched AutoDiscovery, turning 108 million research papers into an automated hypothesis machine.
South Korea's pioneering research institute started in a 10-pyeong room with three people and helped transform a poor nation into a tech powerhouse. Now KIST is tackling seven world-changing missions from AI to Alzheimer's drugs.
Scientists just solved one of quantum computing's biggest problems: how to run calculations while fixing errors at the same time. This breakthrough brings us closer to quantum computers that can actually tackle real-world challenges.
A new AI called AxiomProver just cracked four unsolved math problems, including one that frustrated experts for five years. This breakthrough shows artificial intelligence can now partner with mathematicians to unlock answers humans couldn't find alone.
Scientists in South Korea have developed a way for AI models to share learned skills without expensive retraining. The breakthrough could save millions in AI development costs and speed up how quickly models adapt to new tasks.
Scientists just taught AI systems to monitor their own confidence and detect when they're confused, like giving computers an inner voice. This breakthrough could make AI safer in critical situations like medical diagnoses and self-driving cars.
Researchers just unlocked a smarter way for AI to think through problems using only the questions it receives. The breakthrough could make smaller, more efficient AI systems just as powerful as tech giants without massive data requirements.
Scientists at Purdue and Kiel University created TreeStructor, an AI that can identify and map individual trees in complete forests. The breakthrough helps scientists understand forests better and could improve conservation efforts worldwide.
