Liquid circuits that mimic synapses in the brain can for the first time perform the kind of logical operations underlying modern computers, a new study finds. Near-term applications for these devices may include tasks such as image recognition, as well as the kinds of calculations underlying most artificial intelligence systems.Just…

Transistor Takes Advantage of Quantum Interference

As transistors are made ever tinier to fit more computing power into a smaller footprint, they bump up against a big problem: quantum mechanics. Electrons get jumpy in small devices and leak out, which wastes energy while degrading performance. Now a team of researchers is showing that it doesn’t have…

At NVIDIA GTC last week, Boston Dynamics CTO Aaron Saunders gave a talk about deploying AI in real world robots—namely, how Spot is leveraging reinforcement learning to get better at locomotion (We spoke with Saunders last year about robots falling over). And Spot has gotten a lot better—a Spot robot…

To gain a better understanding of the brain, why not draw inspiration from it? At least, that’s what researchers at Brown University did, by building a wireless communications system that mimics the brain using an array of tiny silicon sensors, each the size of a grain of sand. The researchers…

How We’ll Reach a 1 Trillion Transistor GPU

In 1997 the IBM Deep Blue supercomputer defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov. It was a groundbreaking demonstration of supercomputer technology and a first glimpse into how high-performance computing might one day overtake human-level intelligence. In the 10 years that followed, we began to use artificial intelligence for many practical…

Times change, and so must benchmarks. Now that we’re firmly in the age of massive generative AI, it’s time to add two such behemoths, Llama 2 70B and Stable Diffusion XL, to MLPerf’s inferencing tests. Version 4.0 of the benchmark tests more than 8,500 results from 23 submitting organizations. As…

How to Boot Up a New Engineering Program

Starting a new engineering program at a university is no simple task. But that’s just what Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass., is doing. By 2026, the university will offer an undergraduate engineering degree—but without creating an engineering department. Instead, Brandeis aims to lean on its strong liberal arts tradition, in…

Inkjets Are for More Than Just Printing

In the early 1980s, offices were noisy places, filled with the sound of metal striking inked ribbons to mark characters on paper. IBM Selectric typewriters clacked, daisy wheel printers clattered, and dot-matrix printers made loud ripping sounds. Today, those noises are gone. And though we do spend more time reading…

This sponsored article is brought to you by Avnet and AMD.The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in image processing has brought about significant advancements in the exploration of space and our own Earth. In space applications, images are captured using various instruments, such as telescopes, satellites, and rovers. However, processing…

Math That Predicts System Fails Makes Solar Smarter

23 Μαρτίου 2024 by paulkokos

paulkokos

As demand for renewable energy soars, materials researchers are seeking ways to create more efficient solar cells. Standard crystalline solar photovoltaic (PV) cells produced commercially today typically can boast an 18 to 22 percent efficiency range. However, some researchers have turned their attention to more efficient silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar…
