Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is opening a new chapter in Dead Sea Scrolls research. By combining machine learning with chemical analysis, scientists hope to uncover where the ancient manuscripts were produced, identify connections between scribes, and reveal hidden patterns across more than 25,000 fragments that have remained unsolved for decades.

Can data centers really be built in space? Pasadena-based Sophia Space is partnering with Apex to test the idea by launching modular AI computing systems into low Earth orbit in 2027. Using radiation-hardened compute TILEs cooled by passive radiative systems and mounted on scalable satellite buses, the companies aim to prove that edge computing can operate reliably in space. While challenges remain, the project represents an important step toward distributed orbital computing networks that could support everything from climate monitoring and pollution tracking to autonomous spacecraft navigation in an increasingly crowded orbital environment.

A SpaceX IPO could become one of the most consequential financial events of the century, creating thousands of millionaires and fueling investment across the New Space economy. From orbital robotics and African space programs to launch infrastructure and satellite networks, the ripple effects may extend far beyond Earth—while forcing investors to reconsider whether generative AI remains the most compelling technology bet of the decade.

In California's self-proclaimed State of Jefferson, a small agricultural technology company is challenging the dominant laser-weeding business model. Laudando & Associates believes farmers should own and repair their AI-powered weeding tools rather than pay ongoing subscription fees. The approach has put the company on a collision course with industry leader Carbon Robotics, sparking a patent dispute that has pushed the Jefferson startup toward overseas markets while raising broader questions about ownership, right-to-repair, and the future of farm automation.

In some ways, Weston has become a symbol of a generation wrestling with environmental and technological anxiety. Friends and family described him as deeply concerned about environmental issues. Reports also noted that he questioned the growing role of artificial intelligence in daily life, even reportedly disagreeing with his mother about her use of AI.

  How many of us looked twice when we saw that South Korea has ordained a robot as a budd? His name is Gabi, and he...

  Microsoft's record investment in Australia will build data centres. What must be built with the same rigour and commitment, says transformation executive Athalie Williams,...

A new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency based in Abu Dhabi makes something clear that many in the industry already suspected. When solar and wind are paired with battery storage, they can deliver reliable, round the clock electricity at costs that compete with, and often beat, fossil fuels.

Current goals are to treat neurological disease like Parkinson’s and restore autonomy to people with severe physical limitations by controlling exoskeletons and prosthetics. There’s also huge potential to improve cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, and languages.

A new project in Spain shows how digital twins, which are virtual replicas of real environments, are becoming powerful tools for protecting ecosystems.

Getting away with bad business at sea may soon be harder with Mirai Robotics on patrol.

Alien signals might be getting scrambled near their own stars before they reach Earth, so scientists searching for perfectly clear signals could be missing them.

AI and bio-plastics have a formidable crew looking to solve the plastics problem. It uses AI to match opportunities to existing machinery.

Now you advance into modeling. Based on the patterns you identified, you build predictive models. These might forecast customer churn probability, equipment failure dates, sales volumes, or other outcomes relevant to your problem.

The Connect-One Study will initially enroll two participants—with impaired speech and limited extremity movement (upper and lower) due to severe loss of voluntary motor control—who live within four hours of three clinical sites, UC Davis in Sacramento, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and Harvard Medical School.‍University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI - led by Investigator Matthew Willsey, M.D., Ph.D., a neurosurgeon with dual faculty appointments in Neurosurgery and Biomedical Engineering.
