For nearly two centuries, it was unclear that the bright spot in the constellation Virgo, which Charles Messier had described in 1781 as “87: Nebula without stars,” was in fact a very large galaxy. As a result, there was initially no explanation for the strange jet discovered in 1918 emergingContinue Reading
Toxic metals are pushing infrared detector makers into a corner, but NYU Tandon researchers have developed a cleaner solution using colloidal quantum dots. These detectors are made like “inks,” allowing scalable, low-cost production while showing impressive infrared sensitivity. Combined with transparent electrodes, the innovation tackles major barriers in imaging systemsContinue Reading
This post was written with Felipe Monroy, Ana Jaime, and Nikita Gordeev from Snoonu. Managing a massive product catalog in the ecommerce space has introduced new hurdles for retailers who are trying to efficiently connect customers with the items they truly want. Traditional one-size-fits-all approaches often result in lost opportunitiesContinue Reading
An international team of astronomers has uncovered new evidence to explain how pulsing remnants of exploded stars interact with surrounding matter deep in the cosmos, using observations from NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) and other telescopes. Scientists based in the U.S., Italy, and Spain, set their sights on aContinue Reading
Research from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities gives new insight into a material that could make computer memory faster and more energy-efficient. The study was recently published in Advanced Materials, a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The researchers also have a patent on the technology. As technology continues to grow, soContinue Reading
Today we are excited to introduce the Text Ranking and Question and Answer UI templates to SageMaker AI customers. The Text Ranking template enables human annotators to rank multiple responses from a large language model (LLM) based on custom criteria, such as relevance, clarity, or factual accuracy. This ranked feedbackContinue Reading
Sandia National Laboratories has joined a new partnership aimed at helping the United States regain its leadership in semiconductor manufacturing. While the U.S. was considered a powerhouse in chip production in the 1990s, fabricating more than 35% of the world’s semiconductors, that share has since dropped to 12%. Today, theContinue Reading
This post was co-written with Suzanne Willard and Makoto Uchida from VideoAmp. In this post, we illustrate how VideoAmp, a media measurement company, worked with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC) team to develop a prototype of the VideoAmp Natural Language (NL) Analytics Chatbot to uncover meaningful insights atContinue Reading
Each year, more than 1.2 billion smartphones are produced globally. The production of electronic devices is not only energy-intensive but also consumes valuable natural resources. Additionally, the manufacturing and delivery processes release a significant amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. Meanwhile, devices are aging faster than ever — users replaceContinue Reading
Researchers have advanced a decades-old challenge in the field of organic semiconductors, opening new possibilities for the future of electronics. The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge and the Eindhoven University of Technology, have created an organic semiconductor that forces electrons to move in a spiral pattern, which couldContinue Reading
