Neural network analyzes gravitational waves in real time
Black holes are one of the greatest mysteries of the universe—for example, a black hole with the mass of our sun has a radius of only 3 kilometers. Black holes in orbit around each other emit gravitational radiation—oscillations of space and time predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916.
AI models microprocessor performance in real-time
Computer engineers at Duke University have developed a new AI method for accurately predicting the power consumption of any type of computer processor more than a trillion times per second while barely using any computational power itself. Dubbed APOLLO, the technique has been validated on real-world, high-performance microprocessors and could help improve the efficiency and inform the development of new microprocessors.
We invited an AI to debate its own ethics – in the Oxford Union
The ethics of AI are constantly debated. But does anyone ask the AI?

To See Proteins Change in Quadrillionths of a Second, Use AI
Researchers have long wanted to capture how protein structures contort in response to light. But getting a clear image was impossible—until now.
'Human-like' brain helps robot out of a maze
A maze is a popular device among psychologists to assess the learning capacity of mice or rats. But how about robots? Can they learn to successfully navigate the twists and turns of a labyrinth? Now, researchers have demonstrated they can. Their robot bases its decisions on the very system humans use to think and act: the brain.

New research enables a key step toward personalized medicine: Modeling biological systems
A new study by the Oregon State University College of Engineering shows that machine learning techniques can offer powerful new tools for advancing personalized medicine, care that optimizes outcomes for individual patients based on unique aspects of their biology and disease features.
Community of ethical hackers needed to prevent AI's looming 'crisis of trust', experts argue
The Artificial Intelligence industry should create a global community of hackers and "threat modelers" dedicated to stress-testing the harm potential of new AI products in order to earn the trust of governments and the public before it's too late.
Camden Yards to test using artificial intelligence for security at Orioles games next season
If you're heading out to a ball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards next spring, you'll likely become a test subject for a new a security technology that uses low-energy radar with 3D imaging and artificial intelligence to detect hidden threats.
Automating engineering's ideal manager
Engineering is a collaborative practice, but effective teamwork can take many different forms. For some projects, teamwork means accomplishing all tasks as a group; for other projects, it is better for everyone to work individually before connecting their pieces like a puzzle.
Artificial intelligence that can discover hidden physical laws in data
Researchers at Kobe University and Osaka University have successfully developed artificial intelligence technology that can extract hidden equations of motion from regular observational data and create a model that is faithful to the laws of physics.
