The field of robotics has taken a major leap forward with the unveiling of a new artificial intelligence framework by researchers from Shanghai University. This groundbreaking framework, known as “Correction and Planning with Memory Integration” (CPMI), harnesses the power of large language models (LLMs) to enhance the way robots interpret and execute tasks. Traditionally, robots
The European Union has been funding research projects aimed at improving the efficiency of the electric grid by reducing energy waste, cutting costs, and curbing emissions. One such project, called SUBRACABLE, is focused on developing innovative superconductor cables that could revolutionize the way electricity is transmitted across long distances. Dr. Anders Wulff, the CEO of
Robots are becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, from household chores to industrial tasks. In order for robots to be truly effective in various environments, they must be able to grasp and manipulate a wide range of objects with precision. Recent advancements in machine learning have opened up new possibilities for training robots to
In a recent study published in Materials Today Energy, a team of researchers has successfully developed a 4-Amino-TEMPO derivative with photocatalytic properties. This derivative has been utilized to create high-performance and stable fiber-shaped dye-sensitized solar cells (FDSSCs) and fiber-shaped organic light-emitting diodes (FOLEDs). Unlike conventional materials that are difficult to synthesize and mass produce, the
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in various sectors has opened up new opportunities for innovation and growth. However, a recent study conducted by UN Women and the United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau) sheds light on the systemic issues that can potentially put women’s security at risk in South-East Asia.

The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has been a game-changer in the field of artificial intelligence and natural language processing. These sophisticated architectures have the ability to process, generate, and manipulate text in various human languages, making them incredibly versatile tools in a wide range of applications. While LLMs have shown incredible potential in
A robot arm drops small, plastic objects into a box to test the most efficient energy-absorbing shape. This experiment in robot autonomy involves learning, creating, and crushing 3D-printed structures to measure their energy absorption. MAMA BEAR, the robot behind these experiments, is the brainchild of Keith Brown and his team at the KABlab in Boston
In the first quarter of 2024, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) reported a staggering net loss of $327.6 million. This significant loss represents a sharp increase from the meager $210,300 in net losses that the company experienced during the same period in the previous year. Despite going public recently, TMTG only managed to generate
