 E-Mail Will we enjoy our work more once routine tasks are automated? - Not necessarily, suggests a recent study Research conducted at Åbo Akademi University suggests that when routine work tasks are being replaced with intelligent technologies, the result may be that employees no longer experience their work as meaningful. Advances in new technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and digital applications have recently resurrected discussions and speculations about the future of ...

This method could op...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have found a new way to harness properties of light waves that can radically increase the amount of data they carry. The new work throws wide open the amount of information that can be multiplexed, or simultaneously transmitted, by a coherent light source.

 E-Mail IMAGE: Princeton researchers have created a new chip that speeds artificial intelligence systems called neural nets while slashing power use. The chips could help bring advanced applications to remote devices such... view more  Credit: Hongyang Jia/Princeton University Responding to artificial intelligences exploding demands on computer networks, Princeton University researchers in recent years have radically increased the speed and slashed the energy use of specialized AI sys...

Credit: AIP Applied Physics Letters New storage and information technology requires new higher performance materials. One of these materials is yttrium iron garnet, which has special magnetic properties. Thanks to a new process, it can now be transferred to any material. Developed by physicists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), the method could advance the production of smaller, faster and more energy-efficient components for data storage and information processing. The physic...

 E-Mail In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings that require high tensile strength and where the use of machinery can cause a lot of vibrations that can disturb structural integrity. One metric to determine the reliability of beams is the deflection value, which should be appropriately low relative to the structure the beams are used in. ...
