Engineers at MIT have turned one of computing’s biggest headaches, waste heat, into the main act. By sculpting “dust-sized” silicon structures that steer heat as precisely as electrical current, they ...

Brain-like AI computers demonstrate strong math capabilities, reshaping hardware design with enhanced energy efficiency and ...

New research indicates that the structural organization of the human brain does not develop in a continuous, linear fashion but rather progresses through five distinct phases separated by specific ...

It’s easy, for me at least, to be cynical about the state of design. Our visual environment can feel bland, everything from brands to buildings homogenized around similar styles. The ever-impending AI ...

Thanks to computer numerical control (CNC) fabrication technologies, the method may also be applied to design-laminated timber gridshells. Credit: ©2025 Masaaki Miki and Toby Mitchell CC-BY-ND A new ...

A new technical paper titled “LongSight: Compute-Enabled Memory to Accelerate Large-Context LLMs via Sparse Attention” was published by researchers at Cornell University. “Large input context windows ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

A new technical paper titled “Hardware Acceleration of Kolmogorov-Arnold Network (KAN) in Large-Scale Systems” was published by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology, National Tsing Hua ...

Harvard researchers created an algorithm that allows a wearable robot to adapt to and assist the arm movements of stroke and Lou Gehrig’s disease patients in real-time. The researchers’ machine ...

TRACED (Transition-aware Regret Approximation with Co-Learnability for Environment Design) is an unsupervised environment-design algorithm that refines regret estimation by decomposing it into value ...
