Paris, France (SPX) May 09, 2024 - The Virtual Space Weather Modelling Centre, through a collaborative effort, has developed a simulation that visualizes the initiation of space weather. The model demonstrates the emergence of a flux rope from the Sun's magnetic field, which may carry millions of tons of plasma into space during a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).

This visualization uses the COCONUT magnetohydrodynamic model created by the team at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, recently highlighted in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. Читать дальше...

Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 06, 2024 - Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed an advanced stretchable electronic skin (e-skin) that could potentially give robots and other devices human-like touch sensitivity. This innovation overcomes the limitations of existing e-skin technologies which lose sensing accuracy when stretched.

"Much like human skin has to stretch and bend to accommodate our movements, so too does e-skin," explained Nanshu Lu, a professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. Читать дальше...

San Francisco (AFP) May 7, 2024 - OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence company behind the popular image generator DALL-E, on Tuesday announced the launch of a new tool aimed at detecting whether digital images have been created by AI.

Authentication has become a major concern in the fast development of AI, with authorities worried about the proliferation of deep fakes that could disrupt society.

Seoul (AFP) May 8, 2024 - South Korean tech giant Samsung said Wednesday it will buy French artificial intelligence company Sonio to boost its cutting-edge medical diagnostic systems.

The use of AI has exploded in recent years in a wide range of disciplines and industries, including medical care, and firms around the world are investing heavily to incorporate it into their products.

Boston MA (SPX) May 10, 2024 - Imagine a slime-like robot that can seamlessly change its shape to squeeze through narrow spaces, which could be deployed inside the human body to remove an unwanted item.

While such a robot does not yet exist outside a laboratory, researchers are working to develop reconfigurable soft robots for applications in health care, wearable devices, and industrial systems.

San Francisco (AFP) May 9, 2024 - Neuralink, the brain implant company owned by Elon Musk, said that it had fixed an issue that saw its first patient's ability to move a computer cursor greatly reduced.

Musk's neurotechnology company in January installed a brain implant in Noland Arbaugh, the company's first human test subject, which the billionaire head of Tesla and X touted as a success.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 10, 2024 - Researchers at Cornell University have unveiled a robotic feeding system designed to aid individuals with severe mobility limitations, such as those affected by spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis. The system leverages advanced technologies including computer vision, machine learning, and multimodal sensing to deliver food safely and effectively.

"Feeding individuals with severe mobility limitations with a robot is difficult, as many... Читать дальше...

Paris, France (SPX) May 09, 2024 - Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESLT and TASE: ESLT) has been awarded a $53 million contract to provide Crossbow Unmanned Turreted 120mm Soft Recoil Mortar Systems to General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS). These systems will be mounted on the Pandur 6x6 APC wheeled armored vehicle for a European client. The project is scheduled for completion over a six-year span.

The deal signifies the first order for the Crossbow following its debut at the DSEI exhibition in London in 2023. Читать дальше...
