Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign have uncovered evidence that could reshape how researchers think about both the brain and artificial intelligence. Their findings suggest that decision making begins much earlier in the brain than traditional theories propose, offering fresh ideas for designing future AI systems that are more capable and far more…

For years, analyzing the chemical makeup of materials has required large and costly laboratory instruments known as spectrometers. These systems are used in everything from disease diagnosis and food inspection to pollution monitoring. Traditional spectrometers work by splitting light into its component colors using prisms or gratings, then measuring the intensity of each wavelength. Because…

McLaren Construction has teamed up with FieldAI, an international leader in physical AI, to bring general-purpose robots to its UK construction sites. Under the partnership, McLaren will deploy autonomous quadruped robots, initially to capture 360° site imagery, generate point cloud data and support progress verification, model-to-site deviation analysis, safety compliance patrols and quality assurance. The…

Rice is best known as one of the world’s most important food crops, but scientists have now shown it could also help inspire a new generation of smart materials. Researchers discovered that packed rice grains behave in an unusual way under pressure. When compressed slowly, the grains remain relatively strong. But when squeezed quickly, they…
