Combat AI impersonation fraud with Beyond Identity’s RealityCheck—your shield against deepfake attacks.
SEC charges four companies for misleading disclosures regarding the SolarWinds cyberattack, imposing fines totaling $6 million.
Over the past decade or so, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced computational techniques that can tackle real-world tasks with human-comparable accuracy. While many of these artificial intelligence (AI) models have achieved remarkable results, they often do not precisely replicate the computations performed by the human brain.
Researchers at Tibbling Technologies, Broad Institute at Harvard Medical School, The Australian National University and other institutes recently tried to use AI to mimic a specific type of computation performed by circuits in the neocortex, known as “winner-take-all” computations.
Their paper, published on the bioRxiv preprint server, reports the successful emulation of this computation and shows that adding it to transformer-based models could significantly improve their performance on image classification tasks.
A robot played cello in a curated concert for the Malmö Symphony Orchestra in southern Sweden.
Robotics is driving innovations across various sectors nowadays. This time, a new robot has entered the music arena to transform it. In a recent video, the robot was spotted playing the cello.
The industrial robotic arms with 3D-printed parts performed with the members of the orchestra in Sweden.

With no conclusive laboratory results, researchers are turning to other methods to find the elusive substance.
A research team led by Professor Bonghoon Kim from DGIST’s Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering has developed a “3D smart energy device” that features both reversible heating and cooling capabilities. Their device was recognized for its excellence and practicality through its selection as the cover article of the international journal Advanced Materials.
The team collaborated with Professor Bongjae Lee from KAIST’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and Professor Heon Lee from Korea University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Heating and cooling account for approximately 50% of the global energy consumption, contributing significantly to environmental problems such as global warming and air pollution. In response, solar absorption and radiative cooling devices, which harness the sun and outdoor air as heat and cold sources, are gaining attention as eco-friendly and sustainable solutions.
Finding ways to connect the human body to technology could have broad applications in health and entertainment. A new “electric plastic” could make self-powered wearables, real-time neural interfaces, and medical implants that merge with our bodies a reality.
While there has been significant progress in the development of wearable and implantable technology in recent years, most electronic materials are hard, rigid, and feature toxic metals. A variety of approaches for creating “soft electronics” has emerged, but finding ones that are durable, power-efficient, and easy to manufacture is a significant challenge.
Aging senescent cells do not become hypometabolic.
Instead they become HYPERmetabolic, burning energy faster than their younger selves.
This likely steals energy for other useful cellular functions, possibly accounting for their aberrant behaviors.

ROCHESTER — How long can you stand on one leg?
The answer to that question is linked with aging and one’s risk of falling, new research out of Mayo Clinic finds. The paper “Age-related changes in gait, balance, and strength parameters: A cross-sectional study” appears in the journal PLOS ONE today, Oct. 23.
