Reading time: 5 mins Good data protection practice and ethics are essential in research in order to not only comply with the law but also the expectations of individuals that may be the subject of research. In developing a trusted relationship researchers need to follow ethical principles as well as expectations of confidentiality and privacy. […]

Humans can detect one trillion different smells, no wonder it is often considered one of the most powerful senses of the body. A group of researchers at Google want to harness that supernatural power through AI. The Google Brain Team is now training AI to recognize the smell of items based on their molecular structure.

Credit: Kai Yang, et. al. IBM Research today revealed a breakthrough nanotechnology technique that allows researchers to position individual atoms and control their quantum properties. This could be a watershed moment on the path to generally useful quantum computers. The research team developed the technique in order to build a quantum computing simulator. Binary computers –

Tracking the health of underwater species is critical to understanding the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems. Unfortunately, it’s a time-consuming process — biologists conduct studies with echosounders that use sonar to determine water and object depth, and they manually interpret the resulting 2D echograms. These interpretations are often prone to error and require

A crew of deep-sea explorers and historians looking for lost World War II warships have found a second Japanese aircraft carrier that went down in the historic Battle of Midway. Vulcan Inc. director of undersea operations Rob Kraft said a review of sonar data captured Sunday shows what could be either the Japanese carrier Akagi

If you look at enough of another developer’s code, you will eventually say, “What were you thinking, you gosh-darn lunatic?” Now, this exchange can precede the moment where you quit a company and check into a padded room, or it can be akin to calling someone a mad genius and offering them a beer. In
The world speaks thousands of languages — roughly 6,500, to be exact — and systems from the likes of Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon become better at recognizing them each day. The trouble is, not all of those languages have large corpora available, which can make training the data-hungry models underpinning those systems difficult. That’s

Researchers at MIT have invented an ink that can “reprogrammed” using a light projector. The ink — named PhotoChromeleon — is made using photochromic dye, which changes color when exposed to UV light. The researchers mix three different colors of the dye (cyan, magenta, and yellow) with car laquer. Then they combine all three. The
