Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have made light-powered gears on a micrometer scale. This paves the way for the smallest on-chip motors in history, which can fit inside a strand of hair. Gears are everywhere – from clocks and cars to robots and wind turbines. For more than 30Continue Reading
On Mars, the past is written in stone — but the present is written in sand. Last week, Perseverance explored inactive megaripples to learn more about the wind-driven processes that are reshaping the Martian landscape every day. After wrapping up its investigation at the contact between clay and olivine-bearing rocksContinue Reading
Organizations across industries face challenges with high volumes of multi-page documents that require intelligent processing to extract accurate information. Although automation has improved this process, human expertise is still needed in specific scenarios to verify data accuracy and quality. In March 2025, AWS launched Amazon Bedrock Data Automation, which enablesContinue Reading
How do you intuitively know that you can walk on a footpath and swim in a lake? Researchers from the University of Amsterdam have discovered unique brain activations that reflect how we can move our bodies through an environment. The study not only sheds new light on how the humanContinue Reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can perform complex calculations and analyze data faster than any human, but to do so requires enormous amounts of energy. The human brain is also an incredibly powerful computer, yet it consumes very little energy. As technology companies increasingly expand, a new approach to AI’s “thinking,” developedContinue Reading
Agents, chatbots and other tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly used in everyday life by many. So-called large language model (LLM)-based agents, such as ChatGPT and Llama, have become impressively fluent in the responses they form, but quite often provide convincing yet incorrect information. Researchers at the UniversityContinue Reading
As artificial intelligence and smart devices continue to evolve, machine vision is taking an increasingly pivotal role as a key enabler of modern technologies. Unfortunately, despite much progress, machine vision systems still face a major problem: processing the enormous amounts of visual data generated every second requires substantial power, storage,Continue Reading
Large language models (LLMs) can be used to perform natural language processing (NLP) tasks ranging from simple dialogues and information retrieval tasks, to more complex reasoning tasks such as summarization and decision-making. Prompt engineering and supervised fine-tuning, which use instructions and examples demonstrating the desired task, can make LLMs betterContinue Reading
Large language models (LLMs) have remarkable capabilities. Nevertheless, using them in customer-facing applications often requires tailoring their responses to align with your organization’s values and brand identity. In this post, we demonstrate how to use direct preference optimization (DPO), a technique that allows you to fine-tune an LLM with humanContinue Reading
Devonyu The Colorado Department of Public Health announced late Friday that three poultry workers in the state have tested potentially positive for infections with the H5 bird flu virus. The workers were culling birds in northeast Colorado in response to an avian flu outbreak at a commercial poultry farm. TheContinue Reading
