Artificial intelligence is a rapidly growing field of science and technology, yet the potential it holds for enhancing some of the world’s most powerful experimental tools such as neutron and x-ray probes is yet to be fully explored. Applying machine learning methods to processes within these international experimental facilities could help to overcome some of the biggest challenges faced by scientists today. This includes automating some of the handling, processing, and linking together of large datasets. At Institut Laue-Langevin, exploratory projects are already underway to ensure scattering science also reaps the benefits of artificial intelligence research. Read more [...]
Robin Boast is Professor of Information Science and Culture at the Department of Media Studies, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In this episode, he speaks about how digital media have impacted our life and work environment. Read more [...]
There are multiple reasons why schools, students and society all benefit when schools invest in robotics programs. Plus, getting such a program off the ground isn’t as difficult as it might sound. Read more [...]
The good news for our robotics and space programs is that human beings can build machines that vastly outperform us in durability. It takes some clever engineering, but humanity regularly builds probes and robots that can survive long journeys through some truly astonishing conditions. Read more [...]

By ERC=Science² A robot swarm might sound like
something from a sinister science fiction movie. But in the real world, a swarm
of robots could do a lot of good. They could clear a beach of garbage, retrieve
plastic from the ocean or build a habitable Read more [...]
Big data, AI, social media, the Internet of things and cybersecurity are transforming our work environments as well as our life as citizens and consumers but more than 56% of Europeans is still lacking the basic skills and competences to navigate effectively Read more [...]
"An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest" said Benjamin Franklin, to whom we owe the invention of the lightning rod and bifocals, among other things.
More than two centuries later, the American mathematician's observation could not Read more [...]
