Whether it serves as a chill escape from the onslaught of the real world or simply a way to beat vacation doldrums, a viral Roblox game about gardening has become the surprise hit of the summer.... Read more

Tabular data is at the heart of scientific analysis—whether in medicine, the social sciences, or even archaeology. Making it comprehensible and usable is often a tedious task, especially when the data is extensive or complex. The Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (IKIM) at the University of Duisburg-Essen has developed... Read more

Imagine a future where artificial intelligence quietly shoulders the drudgery of software development: refactoring tangled code, migrating legacy systems, and hunting down race conditions, so that human engineers can devote themselves to architecture, design, and the genuinely novel problems still beyond a machine's reach....

What if the same RFID "smart barcode" tags used to track packages and retail inventory could also detect changes in the real world—like temperature, pressure or weight—without batteries or added hardware?... Read more

Apple Inc. unveiled a new operating system interface called Liquid Glass at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, an event that focused heavily on aesthetics and design elements rather than software breakthroughs.... Read more

Digital monitoring is now a regular part of our working reality. From CCTV cameras to call recording, surveillance in the workplace is not new.... Read more

The image quality of videos has risen steadily in recent decades. But higher quality also means larger volumes of data to be transferred. There are various reasons for this, including changes in viewer expectations and habits as playback devices continue to improve. This puts rising pressure on both costs and... Read more

A research team has developed autonomous driving software that allows inexpensive sensors to detect transparent obstacles such as glass walls, providing an alternative to high-performance sensors. This technology can be used in existing robots, negating the need for additional equipment while ensuring detection performance that is equal to that offered... Read more

A new software update prevented a third radar outage in the last two weeks at New Jersey's busy Newark airport when a telecommunications line failed again over the weekend, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday.... Read more
