A new research collaboration between Israel and Japan contends that pedestrian detection systems possess inherent weaknesses, allowing well-informed individuals to evade facial recognition systems by navigating carefully planned routes through areas where surveillance networks are least effective. With the help of publicly available footage from Tokyo, New York and San Francisco, the researchers developed an […]

Robots have come a long way since the Roomba. Today, drones are starting to deliver door to door, self-driving cars are navigating some roads, robo-dogs are aiding first responders, and still more bots are doing backflips and helping out on the factory floor. Still, Luca Carlone thinks the best is yet to come. Carlone, who […]

DeepSeek-R1 is the groundbreaking reasoning model introduced by China-based DeepSeek AI Lab. This model sets a new benchmark in reasoning capabilities for open-source AI. As detailed in the accompanying research paper, DeepSeek-R1 evolves from DeepSeek’s v3 base model and leverages reinforcement learning (RL) to solve complex reasoning tasks, such as advanced mathematics and logic, with […]

A forest twice the size of Greater London would need to be planted in the UK to cancel out the extra emissions from the expansion of Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports, Carbon Brief analysis reveals. New runaways at these airports surrounding London would result in cumulative emissions of around 92m tonnes of extra carbon dioxide […]

Under hydraulic pressure, piezoelectric current pulses and the interface electric field generate ROS and dielectrophoretic forces (Fdep), contributing to the degradation and repulsion of diverse pollutants. Dielectrophoretic forces, Fdep, describe the motion force of particles due to the action of a nonuniform electric field on the particles’ induced dipole (image credit: Qiancheng Xia et al). […]

I’ve seen many evolutions of threats in my years as a cybersecurity CEO, but nothing compares to the danger emerging right now. Organizations are facing a new breed of adversary—Digital Warlords—AI-powered adversaries who have fundamentally redesigned the identity vulnerability in enterprises. These aren’t your traditional bad actors; they’re sophisticated operators wielding AI to expand their […]

The UK’s ambitious target to increase electric vehicle (EV) sales to 80% of all new car purchases by 2030 could result in them accounting for up to 5% of total power demand, according to energy analysts at Montel, though there are concerns whether capacity buildout will be adequate. As the UK government works towards a […]

Predicting future states is a critical mission in computer vision research – not least in robotics, where real-world situations must be considered. Machine learning systems entrusted with mission-critical tasks therefore need adequate understanding of the physical world. However, in some cases, an apparently impressive knowledge of temporal reality could be deceptive: a new paper from […]

As an SEO specialist, I’m constantly looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve. After all, SEO isn’t just about optimizing for what’s popular right now, but anticipating what’s coming next. It’s about spotting the trends before they become mainstream, so you can create content that resonates when it matters most. That’s why staying […]

Kernel methods are a powerful class of machine learning algorithm that allow us to perform complex, non-linear transformations of data without explicitly computing the transformed feature space.

A record surge of clean energy kept China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions below the previous year’s levels in the last 10 months of 2024. However, the new analysis for Carbon Brief, based on official figures and commercial data, shows the tail end of China’s rebound from zero-Covid in January and February, combined with abnormally high […]

Text-based adventure games have a timeless appeal.

As expected, a newly sworn-in President Donald Trump spent the afternoon following his inauguration signing executive orders (EOs), many of them intended to unwind climate and environmental initiatives enacted by former President Joe Biden. In the EOs, President Trump orders federal agencies and personnel to take certain actions – or to report back on actions […]
