Scientists demonstrate reinforcement learning on photonic chips that compute using optical spikes instead of electronic signals.

When I think about design process, from the initial moments of young people working on projects, all the way to the end where ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

A two-chip photonic neuromorphic system performs real time spiking reinforcement learning using only light, achieving ...

What if staying alive depends on minimizing surprise? The Free Energy Principle suggests that feeling itself may be what that ...

A research team funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a versatile machine learning model that could one day greatly expand what medical scans can tell us about disease.

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center are testing whether a collaborative AI research platform can accelerate the pace of ...

A research team has developed a versatile machine learning model that could one day greatly expand what medical scans can tell us about disease. Scientists used their tool, named Merlin, to assess 3D ...

Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

MIT introduces Self-Distillation Fine-Tuning to reduce catastrophic forgetting; it uses student-teacher demonstrations and needs 2.5x compute.

AI-enhanced vision systems automate medical device quality control, replacing manual inspection with flexible solutions.
