Human language may seem messy and inefficient compared to the ultra-compact strings of ones and zeros used by computers—but our brains actually prefer it that way. New research reveals that while ...

Data-analysis and modelling positions are already becoming obsolete, but hands-on experimentalists can breathe easy for now.

A team of researchers has found a way to steer the output of large language models by manipulating specific concepts inside these models. The new method could lead to more reliable, more efficient, ...

Use the vitals package with ellmer to evaluate and compare the accuracy of LLMs, including writing evals to test local models.

Some say we’ve entered a new age of AI-enabled scientific discovery. But human insight and creativity still can’t be ...

To fill the talent gap, CS majors could be taught to design hardware, and the EE curriculum could be adapted or even shortened.

Deep within the source code of this online multiplayer game lies an enigmatic number that puzzles and inspires experts to this day ...

Large language models (LLMs) can suggest hypotheses, write code and draft papers, and AI agents are automating parts of the research process. Although this can accelerate science, it also makes it ...

Some cybersecurity researchers say it’s too early to worry about AI-orchestrated cyberattacks. Others say it could already be ...

Coding can help students understand the building blocks of world languages, and it provides an authentic way to tell stories.

For years, artificial intelligence has promised to accelerate scientific discovery. But most AI tools still sit awkwardly on the sidelines, helping with narrow tasks like summarising papers or ...

Biological materials are made of individual components, including tiny motors that convert fuel into motion. This creates patterns of movement, and the material shapes itself with coherent flows by ...
