Computer scientists have created an artificial intelligence (AI) program that can predict the onset of catastrophic tipping points — and they want to use it to forecast ecological collapse, financial crashes, pandemics and power...
As we assess the risks of AI, we are overlooking a crucial threat. Critics commonly highlight three primary hazards—job disruption, bias, and surveillance/privacy. We hear that AI will cause many people to lose their jobs, from dermatologists...
In the competitive arena of global technology, China’s ambitions in artificial intelligence stand out – not just for their scale but for their distinct strategic approach. In 2017, the Chinese Communist Party declared its intent...
The verification of academic credentials has long been a cumbersome, often slow process that can hinder students’ progress in embarking on their professional journeys or continuing their education. Traditionally, the verification...
When you think of a fearsome, sharp-toothed predator, a squid probably isn’t the first animal that comes to mind. But these complex creatures have sophisticated eyesight, a strong beak to crush shells and agile tentacles that help...
Most space mission systems historically have used one spacecraft designed to complete an entire mission independently. Whether it was a weather satellite or a human-crewed module like Apollo, nearly every spacecraft was deployed and...

The Celestron NexStar 8SE has long been considered the world's 'most beloved telescope' with its stunning clarity and bright, sharp views, and is the instrument of choice for many keen stargazers. It sat pretty solidly at $1,599 for...
For the first time, scientists have packaged a miniscule silicon chip with a cooling system designed to "actively" keep smartphones cool — rather than relying on "passive" cooling and thermal throttling.The "xMEMS XMC-2400 µCooling"...
A four-person crew for SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission arrived in Florida on Monday ahead of their Aug. 26 launch to space for a mission that includes the first privately managed spacewalk, a risky endeavor only government astronauts...
Like most mathematicians, I hear confessions from complete strangers: the inevitable “I was always bad at math.” I suppress the response, “You are forgiven, my child.” Why does it feel like a sin to struggle in math? Why are...
Scientists have successfully transmitted quantum data and conventional data through a single optical fiber for the first time.The research demonstrates that quantum data in the form of entangled photons and conventional internet data...
European scientists were due to attempt a first in orbital gymnastics late on Monday, tapping into the gravity of the Moon and then the Earth in quick succession to guide the JUICE probe towards Jupiter in the first-ever double slingshot...
