  • Misinformation and conspiracy theories are major challenges in the digital age. While the Internet is a powerful tool for information exchange, it has also become a hotbed for false information. Conspiracy theories, once limited to small groups, now have the power to influence global events and threaten public safety. These theories, often spread through social […]

  • One of the underwater robot undergoing trials in Heriot Watt Universitys wave tank facility. Technology could reduce the use of large maintenance vessels in wind farm repairs, reducing fuel consumption by 97%. That’s according to the National Robotarium – an innovation hub based at Heriot Watt University’s Edinburgh campus – which is supporting the development […]

  • Deforestation has been an ongoing problem for decades. Even as technology has advanced, offenders have held the advantage because there’s simply too much land to cover — until now. Could artificial intelligence be the key to putting an end to illegal deforestation? Both its potential and real-world use cases show promise. 1. Identify Optimal Reforestation […]

  • Duke University researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in robotic sensing technology that could fundamentally change how robots interact with their environment. The innovative system, called SonicSense, enables robots to interpret their surroundings through acoustic vibrations, marking a significant shift from traditional vision-based robotic perception. In robotics, the ability to accurately perceive and interact with […]

  • Video frame interpolation (VFI) is an open problem in generative video research. The challenge is to generate intermediate frames between two existing frames in a video sequence. https://www.unite.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/FILM-example.mp4 Click to play. The FILM framework, a collaboration  between Google and the University of Washington, proposed an effective frame interpolation method that remains popular in hobbyist and […]

Sewage: It’s a subject whose complexities are not to be underestimated, but which are increasingly in need of being communicated to the public. A new book provides a helpful […]

  • China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions stayed at, or just below, last year’s levels in the third quarter of 2024, after a fall in the second quarter. The new analysis for Carbon Brief, based on official figures and commercial data, leaves open the possibility that China’s emissions could fall this year. However, recent record-high temperatures caused […]

  • Lightning AI is the creator of PyTorch Lightning, a framework designed for training and fine-tuning AI models, as well as Lightning AI Studio. PyTorch Lightning was initially developed by William Falcon in 2015 while he was at Columbia University. It was later open-sourced in 2019 during his PhD at NYU and Facebook AI Research, under […]

  • On October 17, 2024, Microsoft announced BitNet.cpp, an inference framework designed to run 1-bit quantized Large Language Models (LLMs). BitNet.cpp is a significant progress in Gen AI, enabling the deployment of 1-bit LLMs efficiently on standard CPUs, without requiring expensive GPUs. This development democratizes access to LLMs, making them available on a wide range of […]

  • Hydrogen presents significant challenges when it comes to storage, given its molecular size and highly corrosive nature. A number of potential approaches are coming into view. Leakage has certainly been a bête noire in the natural gas sector, and something that happens far more frequently than was assumed, as reports of recent years seem to […]

  • Image credit: Cal F / Shutterstock.com. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) has recommended that the UK commit to cutting its greenhouse gas emissions by 81% from 1990 levels by 2035. Presented in a letter, the advice was offered to assist determination of the country’s 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in the forthcoming period, following a […]

  • Repurposed military drone from ISS Aerospace, equipped with ground penetrating radar to remotely record groundwater tables (Project Groundwater Buckinghamshire) The Environment Agency has published its mid-programme report, detailing the benefits the agency says are accruing from various schemes undertaken to support flood and coastal resilience. Published on 28 October, the report reviews the EA’s £200 […]

  • In the classic cartoon “The Jetsons,” Rosie the robotic maid seamlessly switches from vacuuming the house to cooking dinner to taking out the trash. But in real life, training a general-purpose robot remains a major challenge. Typically, engineers collect data that are specific to a certain robot and task, which they use to train the […]

  • As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the tech landscape, JavaScript acts as a powerful platform for AI development, offering developers the unique ability to build and deploy AI systems directly in web browsers and Node.js environments. The ecosystem has rapidly evolved to support everything from large language models (LLMs) to neural networks, making it easier […]

  • Have you ever wished you had an extra set of hands to help write, edit, or debug code? Imagine if, instead of staring at that blank page or troubleshooting errors, you had a tool that could draft, refine, and even improve your work alongside you! This is the promise of ChatGPT-4o Canvas: a collaborative workspace […]

  • The landscape of sales development is undergoing a transformation, powered by artificial intelligence that’s redefining how businesses connect with potential customers. AI SDRs (Sales Development Representatives) have emerged as sophisticated systems that automate and enhance the traditional role of human SDRs, handling everything from initial prospecting and lead qualification to scheduling appointments and managing follow-ups. […]

  • The UK should make an international pledge to cut its greenhouse gas emissions to 81% below 1990 levels by 2035, according to the government’s advisory Climate Change Committee (CCC). The recommendation for the UK’s next “nationally determined contribution” (NDC) under the Paris Agreement comes just weeks before the government is expected to announce its new […]
