China’s race to build advanced artificial intelligence chip is quietly gaining pace, with a relatively unknown startup now drawing attention.
In a major step forward for sensing technology, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new
A team of Chinese scientists has developed a new crystal that could transform navigation in extreme environments, from deep oceans
Chinese scientists from Sichuan University and Shenzhen University unveiled the world’s first full-chain framework for directly producing hydrogen from seawater,
A team of researchers has turned to one of nature’s most delicate creatures, the butterfly, to design a material that
Inside Cornell’s NanoScale Science and Technology Facility, a student in cleanroom gear carefully operates a 3D lithography system, where even
In a major step for chemistry and drug development, researchers have designed a new way to edit molecules without rebuilding
China’s Northwestern Polytechnical University has released the world’s first open-source flight control software for bamboo-frame drones. The system cuts control delay from 20 milliseconds down to 8–10 milliseconds by tuning algorithms to handle bamboo’s natural vibrations. Free and modular, it lowers costs for eco-friendly UAVs in forest monitoring and education. The team says future work will improve weather resistance.
UK’s Loughborough University physicists have built a brain-inspired chip that makes some AI tasks up to 2,000 times more energy efficient than software. The memristor device uses random nanopores to process time-dependent data directly in hardware, skipping energy-heavy computing steps. Tests on chaos prediction and image recognition succeeded. The team says the approach could help solve AI’s rising energy demands. Further work is needed for real-world noise.
Harvard’s Stephanie Gil and a multi-university team have created “cy-trust,” a framework that helps robot fleets and self-driving cars decide which data to trust. Each agent assigns a 0-to-1 trust score to incoming information using onboard sensors and signal processing. Low-trust data gets ignored, preventing hacked or greedy agents from causing crashes. Tested in lab experiments against fake-identity attacks. Traditional security isn’t enough for physical systems.
