Breakthrough in materials science: AI reveals secrets of dendritic growth in thin films
Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites involve crude visual inspection and subjective analysis. Moreover, growth optimization methods for controlling dendrite formation require extensive trial and error. Now, researchers have developed a new AI model that incorporates topology analysis and free energy to reveal the specific conditions and mechanisms that drive dendrite branching.

Revolutionary blueprint to fuse wireless technologies and AI
Virginia Tech researchers say a true revolution in wireless technologies is only possible through endowing the system with the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) that can think, imagine, and plan akin to humans. Doing so will allow networks to break free from traditional enablers, deliver unprecedented quality, and usher in a new phase of the AI evolution.
The Case of the Vanishing Copilot: Is Microsoft’s Update a Feature or a Bug?
"Microsoft’s latest Windows update comes with an unexpected surprise—accidentally uninstalling the Copilot app from some devices. As users scramble to reinstall, Microsoft scrambles for a fix. Here’s what happened and how to restore Copilot on Windows 11."
New AI model analyzes full night of sleep with high accuracy in largest study of its kind
Researchers have developed a powerful AI tool, built on the same transformer architecture used by large language models like ChatGPT, to process an entire night's sleep. To date, it is one of the largest studies, analyzing 1,011,192 hours of sleep. The model, called patch foundational transformer for sleep (PFTSleep), analyzes brain waves, muscle activity, heart rate, and breathing patterns to classify sleep stages more effectively than traditional methods, streamlining sleep analysis, reducing variability, and supporting future clinical tools to detect sleep disorders and other health risks.
