A new AI model, based on the PV-RNN framework, learns to generalize language and actions in a manner similar to toddlers by integrating vision, proprioception, and language instructions.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, have numerous practical applications in areas that include electronics in transistors, sensors and detectors; as battery and fuel cell electrodes; and ...

Exponential growth in big data and computing power is transforming climate science, where machine learning is playing a critical role in mapping the physics of our changing climate.

But bestselling sci-fi/fantasy author George R.R. Martin can add another item to his long list of publications: co-author of a peer-reviewed physics paper just published in the American Journal of ...

Wildlife provides vital benefits to people in innumerable ways, from pollinating plants so we have food to eat to dispersing seeds so forests can help regulate our climate. However, new WWF-led ...

Montana Tech researchers have a new scientific article out, detailing how samples taken from hot springs at Yellowstone National Park may offer insight into how ...
