A recent study conducted by researchers at Shanghai University has introduced a groundbreaking artificial intelligence framework that aims to revolutionize the way robots interpret and execute tasks. The “Correction and Planning with Memory Integration” (CPMI) framework utilizes large language models (LLMs) to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of robots when performing complex, instruction-based tasks. Traditionally,
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has made a groundbreaking achievement in the realm of optical imaging technology. A new all-optical complex field imager has been developed, marking a significant advancement in the field. This innovative device has the capability to capture both amplitude and phase information of optical fields without the need for
Dell Technologies experienced a significant drop in its stock value, plummeting more than 16% on Friday. This decline was a result of investors becoming disheartened by the company’s lower-than-expected artificial intelligence server backlog and a projected decrease in margins.

However, with the U.S. Senate pushing for a sale of TikTok due to national security concerns, the future of the app‘s algorithm is in question. Chinese officials have rejected the sale of the algorithmic
A recent study conducted by a research group has made significant progress in the field of magneto-superelasticity. This study focuses on a Ni34Co8Cu8Mn36Ga14 single crystal that achieved a remarkable 5% magneto-superelasticity by introducing ordered dislocations to form preferentially oriented martensitic variants during a magnetically induced reverse martensitic transformation. The findings of this research were published
As we step into the year 2024, we are witnessing a monumental shift in the political landscape across the globe. The advent of generative AI is revolutionizing the way political campaigns are run and elections are conducted. From Asia to Africa to the United States, the impact of AI on the democratic process is becoming
