HOW TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING THE FUTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION
MANCHESTER (N.H.) — A student is driving to class in a driverless car. She uses notes to jam into the windshield, while gesturing with her hands to create a 3-D holographic model for her architecture project. It almost looks like science fiction. This impression is reinforced by the fact it is being shown in virtual […]
ADDICTION TO CELL PHONES AND ADOLESCENTS’ PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL HEALTH
From many years ago, research has been conducted on smartphone use and its effects on adolescents. This isn’t a new problem. This letter was prompted by the growing trend in cell phone addiction and the poor mental and physiological health of adolescents.

How can we tell if Machine-Learning AI Models are working correctly?
How do explanation methods for machine learning models work? Researchers have developed a method to verify that popular ways of understanding machine-learning models work correctly. Imagine a team comprising physicians who use a neural net to detect the presence of cancer in mammogram images. Even though the machine-learning model appears to be working well, it could focus […]
Quantum Computing in Silicon Hits 99 Percent Accuracy – Major Breakthrough
UNSW Sydney’s research has opened the door to large-scale silicon-based quantum processors that can be used in real-world manufacturing. Australian researchers have demonstrated that quantum computing is almost error-free. This opens the door to building silicon-based quantum devices compatible with all aspects of current semiconductor manufacturing technology. “Today’s publication Nature proves our operations were 99 percent error-free,” said Professor […]
