An innovative water-cooling system capable of providing continuous day-and-night radiative cooling for structures

CU Boulder and University of Wyoming engineers have successfully scaled up an innovative water-cooling system capable of providing continuous day-and-night radiative cooling for structures. The advance could increase the efficiency of power generation plants in summer and lead to more efficient, environmentally-friendly temperature control for homes, businesses, utilities and industries. The new research demonstrates how

Using artificial intelligence to identify, count and describe animals in the wild

A new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) reports how a cutting-edge artificial intelligence technique called deep learning can automatically identify, count and describe animals in their natural habitats. Photographs that are automatically collected by motion-sensor cameras can then be automatically described by deep neural networks. The result is a

Mechanical Properties of Nanomaterials Can Be Altered Due to Electric Field

Mechanical properties of nanomaterials can be altered due to the application of voltage, University of Wyoming researchers have discovered. The researchers, led by TeYu Chien, a UW assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, determined that the electric field is responsible for altering the fracture toughness of nanomaterials, which are used in state-of-the-art

Robots can recover from damage in minutes

Robots will one day provide tremendous benefits to society, such as in search and rescue missions and putting out forest fires — but not until they can learn to keep working if they become damaged. A new paper in the journal Nature, called “Robots That Can Adapt Like Animals,” shows how to make robots automatically

Doctoral Student from Netherlands Studies How to Evolve Artificial Brains to Mimic Those in Animals

Joost Huizinga watches the six-legged “spider bot” he created scuttle across his computer screen. At first, it wobbles and walks unsteadily as it attempts to gobble up green-shaped pyramids that denote food. The artificial arachnid makes a few successful attempts, enveloping a few pyramids and making them disappear. But, after a short time in its

Cornell Engineers Solve a Biological Mystery and Boost Artificial Intelligence

The new insight also will help evolve artificial intelligence, so robot brains can acquire the grace and cunning of animals. By simulating 25,000 generations of evolution within computers, Cornell University engineering and robotics researchers have discovered why biological networks tend to be organized as modules – a finding that will lead to a deeper understanding
