AI Drives More Realistic Gaming


Video games are utilizing artificial intelligence to create increasingly realistic scenarios and interactions, enabled by big increases in processing horsepower and memory, and significantly faster data movement. GPUs, once confined to graphics rendering, are now also being deployed across a wide range of AI tasks, generating more realistic non-player characters, dynamic worlds, personalized... » read more

Fast-moving magnetic particles for data storage According to MIT researchers, an exotic kind of magnetic behavior discovered just a few years ago holds great promise as a way of storing data — one that could overcome fundamental limits that might otherwise be signaling the end of Moore’s Law. Rather than reading and writing data one bit at a time by changing the orientation of magnetize... » read more

Wrapping silver nanowires While they hold promise for applications including flexible displays and solar cells, silver nanowires are also susceptible to damage from highly energetic UV radiation and harsh environmental conditions has limited their commercialization, according to Purdue University researchers. However, new research suggests wrapping the nanowires with an ultrathin layer of c... » read more
