Combining quantum science with machine learning has led to a model that can accurately measure how surfaces feel to the touch.

The new type of transistor, known as the "cryo-CMOS transistor," is optimized to operate at temperatures under 1 K and emit near-zero heat.

When combined with Qiskit software tools, the 156-qubit R2 Heron quantum processor can perform 5,000 two-qubit gate operations — double the previous best — meaning it's ready for complex quantum computations, IBM scientists say.

A new computer vision system inspired by the design of a feline eye could give future drones and other military robots the ability to track targets in low-visibility and dynamic environments.

Motion capture requires special equipment and infrastructure that can cost upward of $100,000 — but scientists have created a smartphone app and AI algorithm to do the same job.

The smallest machine of its kind in the world uses a single photon as its qubit and it can perform calculations without needing the cumbersome equipment to cool it down to near absolute zero.

The STAR1 robot can reach a top speed of 8 mph with the added help of a pair of sneakers.

Scientists combined two existing wireless technologies — high-speed electronics and millimeter wave photonics — for the first time to achieve record-breaking wireless data transmission speeds.

OpenAI scientists have designed MLE-bench — a compilation of 75 extremely difficult tests that can assess whether a future advanced AI agent is capable of modifying its own code and improving itself.

Experiments on Google's 67-qubit Sycamore processor showed operations entering a new "weak noise phase" in which calculations were complex enough to outperform supercomputers, based on benchmark testing.

AI development is accelerating — with some scientists suggesting machines will be more intelligent than the smartest humans within the next few years.

From disaster recovery to conservation and healthcare, plenty of AI projects will greatly benefit humanity, Microsoft experts Juan M. Lavista Ferres and William B. Weeks say.

AGI could be on the horizon thanks to a novel computing architecture that completely redefines how artificial neurons form an intelligent system.

Scientists have just theorized how to connect quantum processors over vast distances to form a giant quantum computing network that acts as a single machine.

The "xMEMS XMC-2400 µCooling" chip aims to keep future smartphones from overheating as they become more powerful.

New record-breaking fast-charging technology can power up your smartphone battery quicker than you can write an email.

Scientists break data transmission rate world record for a second time this year — boosting fiber-optic speeds by 25% to a staggering 402 Tbps.

The 56-qubit H2-1 computer has broken the previous record in the 'quantum supremacy' benchmark first set by Google in 2019.

Scientists engineer the 'purest ever silicon' to build reliable qubits that can be manufactured to the size of a pinhead on a chip and power million-qubit quantum computers in the future.

How can we truly know if AI is sentient? We do not yet fully understand the nature of human consciousness, so we cannot discount the possibility that today's AI is indeed sentient — and that we are mistreating it to potentially grave consequences.
