Meta is beefing up its age-verification mechanisms with an AI system that analyzes images and videos on Instagram and Facebook for “visual cues,” such as height and bone structure, to identify and delete accounts of…
As AI increasingly takes over the work of modern programmers, the cybersecurity world has warned that automated coding tools are sure to introduce a new bounty of hackable bugs into software. When those same vibe-coding…
“Increasingly, that same foundation is drawing developers and researchers to our products as powerful platforms for building and running agentic AI, thanks to the unique combination of performance, efficiency, and on-device capabilities. When you combine…
Using a technique called multi-slice electron ptychography (MEP), researchers move a nanoscale-sized probe of electrons over a material and measure the resulting electron diffraction patterns. Overlapping regions can be used to create a 3D scan…
The complaint sounds familiar. “I’m disappointed that you are working to incorporate AI garbage into the site,” one annoyed person, posting anonymously, said in an online message. “No-one is asking for this—we want you to…
“What truly sets Apple apart is how Apple Intelligence is woven into the core of our platforms, powered by Apple Silicon, and designed from the ground up to deliver intelligence that is fast, personal, and…
Phonon lasers are used to trap and levitate nanoparticles in the laboratory of Nick Vamivakas, the Marie C. Wilson and Joseph C. Wilson Professor of Optical Physics at the University of Rochester. Credit: University of…
A new quantum battery prototype uses the strange rules of quantum physics to charge in a single rapid burst. Even more surprisingly, it charges faster as it gets larger, hinting at a radically different future…
The Department of Homeland Security tried to obtain a Canadian man’s location information, activity logs, and other identifying information from Google after he criticized the Trump administration online following the killings of Renee Good and…
