Physical AIIn today’s robot revolution, a record 3.1 million robots are now working in factories, doing everything from assembling computers to packing goods and monitoring air quality and performance. A far greater number of smart machines impact our lives in countless other ways - improving the precision of surgeons, cleaning our ...
The advent of generative artificial intelligence and associated innovation in the broader AI domain has the potential to create transformative opportunities globally, automating routine tasks and shortening the timeline to understand and potentially solve complex problems while permitting humans to focus on challenges that require human creativity and problem-solving. There ...
The Glen Torridon region within Gale crater, Mars forms an important area along the Curiosity rover traverse because of the abundance of clays, which likely formed through bedrock-water interactions. The region forms a valley adjacent to a prominent ridge that carries a strong hematite spectral signature. Until Curiosity examined the ...
In the past decade, neutrino astronomy went from dream to reality with the IceCube collaboration producing observations of the very first neutrino sources in the sky. Last year, the diffuse emission of the Galactic Plane was observed in high-energy neutrinos, making it the first non-electromagnetic view of our own galaxy. ...
Interfacial water exhibits rich and complex behavior, playing a critical role in chemistry, biology, geology, and engineering. Despite its importance, fundamental properties of water at hydrophobic interfaces - such as orientational ordering, hydronium and hydroxide concentrations, improper hydrogen bonding, and the presence of strong electric fields - remain highly debated. ...

Emergence of novel particles in quantum magnetsIn condensed matter systems, novel particles may emerge at low temperatures and carry quantum numbers different from those of elementary particles. A well established example is the fractionally charged particles in the fractional quantum Hall state. It has long been proposed that similar fractionalized particles may emerge in certain quantum ...
Join us for a talk with Stanford Associate Professor James Zou, who will discuss the research that put him on the cover of Nature Medicine and how AI is used for scientific discovery and patient diagnosis.Professor Zou is an associate professor of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Computer Science ...
