Chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude have experienced a meteoric rise in usage over the past three years because they can help you with a wide range of tasks. Whether you’re writing Shakespearean sonnets, debugging code, or need an answer to an obscure trivia question, artificial intelligence systems seem to have you covered. The source of this versatility? Billions, or even trillions, of textual data points across the internet. Those data aren’t enough to teach a robot to be […]

For decades, it’s been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter — or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent studies have shown that in laboratory settings, these patterns can change a metal’s properties, including its mechanical strength, durability, heat capacity, radiation tolerance, and more. Now, researchers at MIT have found that these chemical patterns also exist in conventionally manufactured metals. The surprising finding revealed a […]

In January this year, Lenovo announced the world’s first rollable PC, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6. The company took the stage at CES 2025 to reveal it and later made it available to the general public in June. Although the launch price was set for $3499, it’s now down by $200 and available via the Lenovo Store. For those who don’t know, that laptop comes with a 14-inch OLED panel that stretches upward into a tall 16.7-inch […]

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to avoid contact with the environment as much as possible and stay far away from humans for safety reasons, this arm senses subtle forces, stretching and flexing in ways that mimic more of the compliance of a human hand. Its every motion is calculated to […]

Key Highlights: Google has been heavily criticized for sprinkling sponsored results across search results. No doubt, ads are one of the major driving forces of any company’s revenue. But when ads start getting in the way of how a user uses a product or service, things start to get annoying. Let’s be honest, we all hate ads, and when a new report circulated yesterday claiming that Google is mulling over the idea of showing ads in Gemini tools, […]

A robot searching for workers trapped in a partially collapsed mine shaft must rapidly generate a map of the scene and identify its location within that scene as it navigates the treacherous terrain. Researchers have recently started building powerful machine-learning models to perform this complex task using only images from the robot’s onboard cameras, but even the best models can only process a few images at a time. In a real-world disaster where every second counts, a search-and-rescue […]
