Chitrakar: A system that can transform images of human faces into drawings
Researchers at the TCS Robotics Research Lab in India have recently developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can automatically convert an image of a person's face into a recognizable...
Exploring the notion of shortcut learning in deep neural networks
Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) tools, particularly deep neural networks, have achieved remarkable results on a number of tasks. However, recent studies have found that these...
Searching for invisible axion dark matter with a new multiple-cell cavity haloscope
Over the past few decades, many experimental physicists have been probing the existence of particles called axions, which would result from a specific mechanism that they think could explain the...
Exploring the potential of near-sensor and in-sensor computing systems
As the number of devices connected to the internet continues to increase, so does the amount of redundant data transfer between different sensory terminals and computing units. Computing approaches...
LUCIDGames: A technique to plan adaptive trajectories for autonomous vehicles
While many self-driving vehicles have achieved remarkable performance in simulations or initial trials, when tested on real streets, they are often unable to adapt their trajectories or movements...
Exploring the role of prefrontal-amygdala brain circuits in social decision-making
In recent years, neuroscientists have been trying to understand the neural underpinnings of social behaviors and cognition. Studies on animal species, including primates and rodents, have identified...
A memory-augmented, artificial neural network-based architecture
Over the past decade or so, researchers have developed a variety of computational models based on artificial neural networks (ANNs). While many of these models have been found to perform well on...
New constraints on alternative gravity theories that could inform dark matter research
While particle theories are currently the most favored explanations for dark mater, physicists have still been unable to detect dark matter particles in ways that would confirm or contradict these...
An open-source and low-cost robotic arm for online education
Researchers at Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico have recently created a low-cost robotic arm that could enhance online robotics education, allowing teachers to remotely demonstrate theoretical...
New 2-D Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) layered perovskite-based solar cells
In recent years, researchers worldwide have been trying to develop solar cells and other technologies that can produce electrical energy from renewable sources, as these could reduce the emission of...
