Breaking AI and machine vision news from around the world
  • Too much screen time may be hurting kids’ hearts
    on November 1, 2025 at 12:01 pm

    More screen time among children and teens is linked to higher risks of heart and metabolic problems, particularly when combined with insufficient sleep. Danish researchers discovered a measurable rise in cardiometabolic risk scores and a metabolic “fingerprint” in frequent screen users. Experts […]

  • Breakthrough optical processor lets AI compute at...
    on October 28, 2025 at 1:14 pm

    Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated diffraction and data preparation modules enable unprecedented speed and efficiency for AI tasks. […]

  • Stanford’s tiny eye chip helps the blind see...
    on October 22, 2025 at 2:26 pm

    A wireless eye implant developed at Stanford Medicine has restored reading ability to people with advanced macular degeneration. The PRIMA chip works with smart glasses to replace lost photoreceptors using infrared light. Most trial participants regained functional vision, reading books and […]

  • AI turns x-rays into time machines for arthritis...
    on October 22, 2025 at 1:57 pm

    Researchers at the University of Surrey developed an AI that predicts what a person’s knee X-ray will look like in a year, helping track osteoarthritis progression. The tool provides both a visual forecast and a risk score, offering doctors and patients a clearer understanding of the disease. […]

  • Scientists build artificial neurons that work...
    on October 14, 2025 at 5:31 am

    UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with biological cells and drastically improved energy efficiency. The discovery could lead to […]

  • 90% of science is lost. This new AI just found it
    on October 13, 2025 at 12:46 pm

    Vast amounts of valuable research data remain unused, trapped in labs or lost to time. Frontiers aims to change that with FAIR² Data Management, a groundbreaking AI-driven system that makes datasets reusable, verifiable, and citable. By uniting curation, compliance, peer review, and interactive […]

  • Why GPS fails in cities. And how it was...
    on October 9, 2025 at 7:31 am

    Our everyday GPS struggles in “urban canyons,” where skyscrapers bounce satellite signals, confusing even advanced navigation systems. NTNU scientists created SmartNav, combining satellite corrections, wave analysis, and Google’s 3D building data for remarkable precision. Their method […]

  • These little robots literally walk on water
    on October 4, 2025 at 2:26 pm

    HydroSpread, a breakthrough fabrication method, lets scientists build ultrathin soft robots directly on water. These tiny, insect-inspired machines could transform robotics, healthcare, and environmental monitoring.

  • Quantum chips just proved they’re ready for the...
    on September 28, 2025 at 11:00 am

    Diraq has shown that its silicon-based quantum chips can maintain world-class accuracy even when mass-produced in semiconductor foundries. Achieving over 99% fidelity in two-qubit operations, the breakthrough clears a major hurdle toward utility-scale quantum computing. Silicon’s compatibility […]

  • Caltech’s massive 6,100-qubit array brings the...
    on September 25, 2025 at 9:09 am

    Caltech scientists have built a record-breaking array of 6,100 neutral-atom qubits, a critical step toward powerful error-corrected quantum computers. The qubits maintained long-lasting superposition and exceptional accuracy, even while being moved within the array. This balance of scale and […]
