The system only flagged eight false warnings and missed one earthquake.

High precision and accuracy in earthquake prediction continues to be a key scientific challenge, and artificial intelligence (AI) has been investigated as a technique to enhance our capabilities in this crucial area.

This is because AI can analyze large datasets of seismic activity and identify patterns or anomalies that human analysts might miss. Machine learning algorithms can thus help researchers understand earthquake patterns better.

The orbital telescope is slated for launch in 2024.

China’s commitment to space exploration is evident through its active advancements, ranging from building its own space station to setting ambitious goals of sending humans to the Moon by 2030. They are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for space exploration.

China’s space agency has been hard at work preparing for another maiden mission, the Xuntian space telescope, which translates roughly as “surveying the heavens.”

JAXA and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) have joined forces to design and develop the new launcher.

The reusable rockets are poised to be a game-changer technology in the modern era of space exploration. Elon Musk’s SpaceX took the lead in showcasing the effectiveness of reusable rockets, thus establishing a model for other companies and space agencies to follow in advancing this technology.

Now, Japan is working towards incorporating this technology into its future space transportation programs.

The AI tongue mimics how taste influences what we eat based on both needs and wants.

Researchers at Pennsylvania State University are developing an artificial intelligence-powered electronic tongue that can differentiate between various tastes of food and also make feeding decisions.

The device can sense sodium ions when detecting salt. “This means the device can ‘taste’ salt,” said Subir Ghosh, co-author of the study and a doctoral student in engineering science and mechanics.

The method is still at its basic stage but multiple such microscopes could be pooled up to build a larger quantum computer.

Researchers at the IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) in Seoul, South Korea, have successfully demonstrated using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to perform quantum computation using electrons as qubits, a press release said.

Quantum computing is usually associated with terms such as atom traps or superconductors that aid in isolating quantum states or qubits that serve as a basic unit of information. In many ways, everything in nature is quantum and can be used to perform quantum computations as long as we can isolate its quantum states.

An unnamed Ukrainian scientist has allegedly developed a new material that can mask heat signatures of troops and gear from Russian drones.

“Necessity is the mother of all inventions,” as the saying goes, and this saying has never been more accurate than when applied to wargear. The latest exemplar of this is a new “invisibility cloak” developed by a Ukrainian material scientist to help protect Ukrainians from Russian drones. As reported by inews.

There’s a new kind of robot dog in town and it gets its prowess from an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm.

An AI algorithm for a brain

The new vision-based algorithm, according to AI researchers at Stanford University and Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute who lead these efforts, enables the robodogs to scale tall objects, jump across gaps, crawl under low-hanging structures, and squeeze between cracks. This is because the robodog’s algorithm serves as its brain.

The results will help researchers understand phenomena like seismic ruptures and structural failures by understanding how quickly they move.

In the realm of material science, understanding the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability has been a quest that has spanned decades.

Take the case of metals; they are strong and workable because of something known as linear flaws or dislocations. But they can also cause materials to break catastrophically, as happens every time you snap the pull tab off a Coke can.

The Crossfire transmitter perturbs the usual functioning on HDZero & Avatar HD FPV Goggles. If you get closer to the goggles’ power cable or goggle, the goggle will shut down or reboot. This video presents two solutions to solve this issue.

00:00 – Video starts.
00:07 – The problem (Crossfire emission power 250 mW)
00:35 – The problem (Crossfire emission power 500 mW)
01:08 – First approach: using a ferrite cable clip.
03:07 – Second approach: using a capacitor as a low-pass filter.
04:27 – Conclusions.
