At this week's COP27 climate conference in Egypt, attendees will have a new group to contend with: an alliance of more than 60 companies involved in the electronics supply chain. Called the Semiconductor Climate Consortium, it formed last week in collaboration with SEMI, the industry association for the electronics manufacturing…

Robotic Falcon Keeps Birds Away From Airports

Collisions with birds are a serious problem for commercial aircraft, costing the industry billions of dollars and killing thousands of animals every year. New research shows that a robotic imitation of a peregrine falcon could be an effective way to keep them out of flight paths. Worldwide, so-called “birdstrikes” are…

Electric Play-Doh Is Mysterious Conductor

5 Νοεμβρίου 2022 by paulkokos

"Electrically conductive Play-Doh" is how scientists describe new materials they can make like plastic but conduct like metal. It remains a mystery why they conduct electricity so well, since their doing so flies in the face of much of what is known about conductivity. Indeed, the stretchy conductor's surprising capabilities…

A record-breaking optical chip can transmit 1.8 petabits—1.8 million gigabits—per second, roughly to twice the world's total Internet traffic (per second), a new study finds.Previous research transmitted up to 10.66 petabits per second over fiber optics. However, these experiments relied on bulky electronics. A compact microchip-based strategy could enable mass…

Can Autonomous Weapons Be Compatible With International Humanitarian Law?

3 Νοεμβρίου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

The real world is anything but binary. It is fuzzy and indistinct, with lots of options and potential outcomes, full of complexity and nuance. Our societies create laws and cultural norms to provide and maintain some semblance of order, but such structures are often open to interpretation, and they shift…

What Does “Human Control” Over Autonomous Systems Mean?

3 Νοεμβρίου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Two Boeing 737 Max planes crashed in 2018 and 2019 due to sensor failures that led to autopilot malfunctions that two human pilots were unable to overcome. Also in 2018, an Uber autonomous vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in Arizona, even though a person in the car was supposed…

How Can We Make Sure Autonomous Weapons Are Used Responsibly?

3 Νοεμβρίου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

International discussions about autonomous weapons systems (AWS) often focus on a fundamental question: Is it legal for a machine to make the decision to take a human life? But woven into this question is another fundamental issue: Can an automated weapons system be trusted to do what it’s expected to…

How Can We Talk About Autonomous Weapons?

3 Νοεμβρίου 2022 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Lethal autonomous weapons systems can sound terrifying, but autonomy in weapons systems is far more nuanced and complicated than a simple debate between “good or bad” and “ethical or unethical.” In order to address the legal and ethical issues that an autonomous weapons system (AWS) can raise, it’s important to…
