A total of 265 couples have married after meeting on an AI-powered dating app launched by the Tokyo government in 2024 to lift Japan's low birth rate, according to official data.... Read more

In the current issue of the journal Nature Methods, siibra is introduced as a software suite that integrates data from different multimodal sources into a comprehensive atlas of the human brain and makes the data easily accessible—for interactive exploration and automated, reproducible data analyses, simulations and AI applications. siibra is...

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models, including ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot, has transformed educational pedagogy by enabling new forms of interaction, reflection and learning. Yet the use of GenAI in software development education often fails to support deep conceptual learning. In a new article, researchers introduce Teachable AI,... Read more

Engineers often use vision-language models to produce new designs, such as airplane or automobile components. To simulate how those components will perform in realistic situations, they'll use tried-and-true computer-aided design (CAD) software to generate 3D models of those designs, which they can put through virtual crash or durability tests....

During the day, our brain acquires new memories; at night, during sleep, it consolidates the important ones and eliminates the useless ones. A similar principle has been applied to Hopfield networks, one of the classic models of artificial intelligence inspired by the workings of the brain. In 2025, Federico Ricci-Tersenghi... Read more

Many experts refer to hydrogen as "the fuel of the future." It is expected to help decarbonize the global economy in two main ways: Burning it or feeding it into a fuel cell produces storable energy with no carbon emissions, just water. It can also be used in place of... Read more

Developers are increasingly relying on large language models (LLMs) for everyday computing tasks such as fixing bugs, explaining code and automating text-processing tasks like filtering logs.... Read more

The Horizon Europe project Mopo has published a new technical publication dedicated to Spine Toolbox, the open-source workflow management system that supports flexible data, scenario and workflow management for complex modeling environments.... Read more

Artificial intelligence can now generate images that are virtually indistinguishable from real ones. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB have developed RealOrRender, a tool that not only specifically detects such deepfakes but also explains why an image is classified as real or AI-generated....

A technology developed at the Technion enables ordinary users to create realistic video clips intuitively, without the need for massive computing resources. Called Time-to-Move (TTM), it offers unprecedented control over the movement of objects and characters in AI-generated videos using nothing more than mouse movements, eliminating the need for complex...

It's game over for fans of discontinued video games after the EU admitted defeat Tuesday and said it cannot stop publishers from making them unplayable.... Read more

How do software developers respond when they come across code they do not intuitively understand? Neuropsychologists have now explored this question by recording brain activity alongside eye movements. A team of psycholinguists then compared the findings with established patterns from natural language processing and identified some surprising parallels. The interdisciplinary... Read more

Operating large language model (LLM) services like ChatGPT requires a server infrastructure on the scale of tens of thousands of units. However, constructing actual equipment every time a new AI semiconductor or system architecture needs to be verified incurs massive costs and time.... Read more

In a study published in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, researchers from Kyushu University have found that "flaky tests," which are unstable software tests that seem to randomly pass or fail, do not stay confined to the projects they originate in and often spread across entire ecosystems....

In a bustling restaurant kitchen, efficiency requires more than just machines that wash dishes or chop vegetables. It requires a conductor to ensure the appetizer, main course, and dessert are prepared in the right sequence, that the right chef gets the right order, and that the correct dish reaches the...
