Self-driving technology has been a hot topic for the transportation industry, with many companies investing heavily in research and development to bring autonomous vehicles to the market. Recently, Volvo unveiled its first “production-ready” self-driving truck in partnership with Aurora, a leading autonomous driving technology company. This collaboration aims to revolutionize long-haul transportation by introducing Level
The recent discovery made by scientists from the Universities of Manchester and Cambridge has shed light on the potential of 2D materials in advancing quantum technologies. Through their research, they identified a “single atomic defect” in a layered 2D material, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), that can retain quantum information for microseconds at room temperature. This
The British government recently announced an expansion of its AI Safety Institute to the United States, in an effort to solidify its position as a global leader in tackling the risks associated with advanced artificial intelligence models. This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance collaboration with the United States and increase cooperation
The use of artificial intelligence in political campaigns is not a new phenomenon, but it has gained significant traction in India in recent years. With the country’s general election underway, politicians are increasingly turning to AI to reach out to voters in a more personalized and targeted manner. This shift has raised ethical concerns about
The ending of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, released in 2011, is widely remembered for its dramatic conclusion. However, a recent discovery by a data-diving enthusiast has shed light on a cut ending from the original trilogy’s closing chapter. This alternate ending features a more downbeat and mysterious finale, showcasing a shadowy figure whose
Recent reports have surfaced regarding LG’s decision to pause its partnership with Meta in developing an extended reality (XR) device. The joint venture, aimed at creating a device to rival Apple’s Vision Pro headset, was announced just three months ago. However, Korean news outlets are now suggesting that the collaboration has broken down due to
Recent advancements in the field of electronics engineering have paved the way for the design of more intricate and scaled-down transistors. Conventional silicon-based field effect transistors (FETs) have limitations that have led researchers to explore alternative designs using materials with higher electron mobility. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), have shown promise
Upon analyzing the recent insights shared by Instagram chief Adam Mosseri regarding ways to increase reach on the platform, a key focus on send rates emerges as a critical factor. Mosseri emphasizes that the number of sends per reach, likes per reach, and comments per reach are more significant metrics than sheer counts. This shift
Recently, two students at the University of California, Santa Cruz discovered a significant security lapse in internet-connected washing machines used commercially in multiple countries. By exploiting an API in the machines’ app, Alexander Sherbrooke and Iakov Taranenko were able to manipulate the machines remotely. This allowed them to run the machines without payment and even
The recent launch of GPT-4o by OpenAI has sparked conversations about the benefits and risks associated with highly advanced AI systems. One of the key features of GPT-4o is its ability to engage with users in a more natural and human-like manner, showcasing personality traits such as friendliness, empathy, and even humor. While this may
