We could build an AI that demonstrates generalized, human-level intelligence within three to eight years — which may open the door to a "super intelligence" in a very short space of time.

The T-Flight is a maglev train that hit a record-breaking speed of 387 mph on a short test track — but engineers want to double that rate so the train can carry passengers at speeds faster than if they were traveling by plane.

Scientists used "knowledge distillation" to condense Stable Diffusion XL into a much leaner, more efficient AI image generation model that can run on low-cost hardware.

Say goodbye to earbuds that break down and create fuzz. New ultrasonic audio chip could lead to digital headphones with better noise-cancelling and spatial audio.

Qubits are normally made from superconducting metals and need to be cooled to near absolute zero to avoid collapsing. But scientists just built an error-free "logical qubit" from a single laser pulse — and it works at room temperature.

AI chatbots can't remember things well. However, scientists might have fixed AI's critical short-term memory issue, while OpenAI is also beginning to roll out long-term memory for ChatGPT.

Boston Dynamics has released footage showing how its flagship Atlas humanoid robot would cope in a factory environment as it lifts heavy struts and puts them into a flow cart.

Two of the three last-known surviving Q1 microcomputers have resurfaced after they were last known to have been used by an oil drilling company in the 1970s.

In a new video, 1X's EVE robots work together in silence in a test environment, performing actions such as sorting mail, handling objects and tidying up a child's toys.

Universal memory promises to replace both RAM and flash storage in computers with a better, faster and more energy-efficient alternative — and researchers have just moved this one step closer to reality.

The MadRadar hack bypasses the anti-spoofing protections in the radars of self-driving cars and can trick targets into imagining vehicles that aren't there — or hiding other ones that are.

The newly announced Spark v3.5 can beat OpenAI's GPT-4 in language workloads, among other areas, and can synthesize human speech that conveys different emotions, tones and speech patterns, its creators claim.

SIEVE is a new approach to web caching that's simpler and more effective than today's state-of-the-art algorithms, its creators claim — and big tech companies are taking notice.

Two pilotless helicopters completed a dozen test flights, while attempting to avoid more than 150 virtual aircraft, to test the systems that will power future air taxis.

QuEra has dramatically reduced the error rate in qubits — with its first commercially available machine using this technology launching with 256 physical qubits and 10 logical qubits.

The qubit attained quantum coherence for 100 nanoseconds, which an expert described as an "important milestone" in quantum computing research.

The Elysian E9X is a 90-seater plane that can one day travel up to 620 miles — and it's based on research that claims our previous assumptions on battery-electric aircraft were wrong.

AI researchers found that widely used safety training techniques failed to remove malicious behavior from large language models — and one technique even backfired, teaching the AI to recognize its triggers and better hide its bad behavior from the researchers.

Cameras recorded footage in red, blue, green and UV channels simultaneously, with openly available software processing the raw footage and converting it into different kinds of "animal vision," showing us how bees, birds, mice and dogs might see the world.

The aircraft can cruise at 120 mph at an altitude of up to 1,500 feet — and it's much quieter than a helicopter.

Mark Zuckerberg said Meta will have "an absolutely massive amount of infrastructure" in place by the end of the year to prime it for training an artificial general intelligence model.

Genetically modifying a specific species of bacterium boosted its ability to extract rare-earth metals by 210% — paving the way for more environmentally friendly ways to extract these valuable elements.

Artificial intelligence (AI) will be featured heavily in products at CES 2024, with devices and software benefiting from highly sophisticated in-built AI tools. So is 2024 the year AI changes our lives?

Scientists overcame a limitation in graphene to harness the material as a working semiconductor at terahertz frequencies with 10 times the mobility of silicon.
