| 'Human-like' brain helps robot out of a maze Posted: 10 Dec 2021 11:07 AM PST A maze is a popular device among psychologists to assess the learning capacity of mice or rats. But how about robots? Can they learn to successfully navigate the twists and turns of a labyrinth? Now, researchers have demonstrated they can. Their robot bases its decisions on the very system humans use to think and act: the brain. The study paves the way to exciting new applications of neuromorphic devices in health and beyond. |
| Development of a versatile, accurate AI prediction technique even with a small number of experiments Posted: 10 Dec 2021 07:31 AM PST Researchers have used the chemical materials open platform framework to develop an AI technique capable of increasing the accuracy of machine learning-based predictions of material properties (e.g., strength, brittleness) through efficient use of material structural data obtained from only a small number of experiments. This technique may expedite the development of various materials, including polymers. |
| Resolving the puzzles of graphene superconductivity Posted: 10 Dec 2021 07:31 AM PST Since superconductivity in three-layered graphene was discovered in September, the physics community has been left puzzled. Now, three months later, physicists can successfully explain the results by drawing from a theory of unconventional superconductivity. |
| AI models microprocessor performance in real-time Posted: 10 Dec 2021 07:31 AM PST Computer engineers have developed a new AI method for accurately predicting the power consumption of any type of computer processor more than a trillion times per second while barely using any computational power itself. Dubbed APOLLO, the technique has been validated on real-world, high-performance microprocessors and could help improve the efficiency and inform the development of new microprocessors. |
