NASA’s new AI space chip could let spacecraft think for themselves
NASA is testing a next-generation space computer chip that could give spacecraft the ability to operate far more independently in…
Your “um” and pauses could reveal early dementia risk
By using artificial intellect to analyze natural conversations, the team found they could predict cognitive performance with surprising accuracy, potentially…
New quantum algorithm solves “impossible” materials problem in seconds
Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum materials known as quasicrystals, opening the door to powerful new quantum…
AI lets chemists design molecules by simply describing them
Creating complex molecules usually requires years of experience and countless decisions, but a new artificial intellect system is changing that.…
This AI knew the answers but didn’t understand the questions
But new research is challenging that bold claim, suggesting the model isn’t truly “thinking” at all—it’s just memorizing patterns. For…
AI swarms could hijack democracy without anyone noticing
Unlike traditional bots, they adapt, coordinate, and refine their messaging at a massive scale, creating a false sense of consensus.…
Think AI "knows" what it’s doing? Scientists say think again
When they do, it often falls on a spectrum—sometimes describing simple requirements, other times hinting at human traits. Calling artificial…
Quantum AI just got shockingly good at predicting chaos
This could have big implications for fields like climate science, energy, and medicine. The method outperformed standard models while using…
Artificial neurons successfully communicate with living brain cells
These flexible, low-cost devices generate lifelike electrical signals capable of activating living brain cells, a breakthrough demonstrated in mouse brain…
This simple change stops robot swarms from getting stuck
By allowing robots to “wiggle” slightly instead of marching in straight lines, they can slip past each other and keep…
