Three policy experts explain why they think anything less than a complete text and data mining exemption in UK copyright law will result in ineffective AI models and hamper innovation in the country.

A Gartner distinguished VP analyst offers TechRepublic readers advice about which early-stage technologies that will define the future of business systems to prioritize.

At TED 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman faced tough questions on AI ethics, artist compensation, and the risks of autonomous agents in a tense interview with TED’s Chris Anderson, revealing new details about OpenAI’s explosive growth and future plans.Read More

Diamonds with certain optically active defects can be used as highly sensitive sensors or qubits for quantum computers, where the quantum information is stored in the electron spin state of these colour centeres. However, the spin states have to be read out optically, which is often experimentally complex. Now, a team has developed an elegant

Researchers have developed a machine learning workflow to optimize the output force of photo-actuated organic crystals. Using LASSO regression to identify key molecular substructures and Bayesian optimization for efficient sampling, they achieved a maximum blocking force of 37.0 mN — 73 times more efficient than conventional methods. These findings could help develop remote-controlled actuators for

Researchers have demonstrated a way to use corn protein to improve the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries, a finding that holds promise for expanding the use of the high-energy, lighter-weight batteries in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage and other applications.

A researcher has analyzed the most frequent situations faced by football goalkeepers. The aim is to compile data to facilitate the design of more effective training. The work stresses the importance of practicing the deflections and first touch shots that are produced.

First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet’s unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field. Mysteriously, its imprint is strongest in the southern hemisphere. Researchers found that Mars could have produced a one-sided magnetic field with a fully molten core, rather

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based material that makes it possible to engineer artificial skin tissues, which can serve as living three-dimensional models of human skin for better understanding and treating skin diseases.

A team has developed an explainable AI model for automatic collision avoidance between ships.
