🚀 Q: How might Trump’s administration impact AI development in the US? A: Trump aims to make America “first in AI” by dismantling Biden’s policy framework and reducing government regulation, potentially leading to skyrocketing growth in AI, cryptocurrencies, blockchain, Web3, and augmented reality.

🔓 Q: What’s J.D. Vance’s stance on AI development? A: Trump’s potential VP J.D. Vance supports open source AI and decentralized power, aiming to prevent large tech companies from steering regulation and allowing smaller innovators to compete.

A paper published in Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, by researchers in Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute, introduces EgoTouch, a tool that uses artificial intelligence to control AR/VR interfaces by touching the skin with a finger.

Researchers at Tampere University have developed the world’s first soft touchpad that can sense the force, area and location of contact without electricity. The device utilises pneumatic channels, enabling its use in environments such as MRI machines and other conditions that are unsuitable for electronic devices. Soft devices like soft robots and rehabilitation aids could also benefit from this new technology.

Researchers at Tampere University have developed the world’s first soft touchpad that is able to sense the force, area and location of contact without electricity.

That has traditionally required electronic sensors, but the newly developed touchpad does not need electricity as it uses pneumatic channels embedded in the device for detection.

Gwynne Shotwell discusses the transformative potential of SpaceX’s Starship program for space exploration and colonization, emphasizing its upcoming Flight 6, the importance of Starlink for revenue, and the integration of Tesla technologies for sustainable human habitats on Mars Questions to inspire discussion Launch.

Quantum computers have the potential to simulate complex materials, allowing researchers to gain deeper insights into the physical properties that emerge from interactions among atoms and electrons. This may one day lead to the discovery or design of better semiconductors, insulators, or superconductors that could be used to make ever faster, more powerful, and more energy-efficient electronics.

But some phenomena that occur in materials can be challenging to mimic using quantum computers, leaving gaps in the problems that scientists have explored with quantum hardware.

To fill one of these gaps, MIT researchers developed a technique to generate synthetic electromagnetic fields on superconducting quantum processors. The team demonstrated the technique on a processor comprising 16 qubits.
