When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at a startup using AI to track pathogens, a quantum cooling breakthrough and ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly helping scientists to write papers, conduct literature reviews and even design laboratory experiments. Now researchers can add optimizing quantum ...

A team at University of Massachusetts Amherst developed artificial neurons that fire in the same voltage range as living ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and ...

"You're basically creating molecular circuits in the machine's memory versus connecting together a bunch of steps in a piece of software," said Bill Vass.

Alright, let’s talk about quantum computing—don’t worry, you don’t need a physics degree or a lab coat for this one. Quantum computers are like the supercharged, cooler cousins of the computers we use ...

Traditional silicon-based architectures face challenges from rising AI demands, leading to a shift towards specialized computing solutions. Neuromorphic computing reduces power usage while enhancing ...

It is the 119th time the prize has been awarded. Last year, artificial intelligence pioneers John Hopfield and Geoffrey ...
