improving-the-speed-and-energy-efficiency-of-ai-agents

Agentic workflows are artificial intelligence-powered software systems that chain together multiple models and external tools to tackle complicated tasks, like analyzing a video and answering questions about it. But the way these highly fragmented systems are designed and deployed often causes inefficiencies that can lead to wasted computation, energy, andContinue Reading

robotically-assembled-building-blocks-could-make-construction-more-efficient-and-sustainable

Robotically assembled building blocks could be a more environmentally friendly method for erecting large-scale structures than some existing construction techniques, according to a new study by MIT researchers. The team conducted a feasibility study to evaluate the efficiency of constructing a simple building using “voxels,” which are modular 3D subunitsContinue Reading

nasa’s-tess-mission-reveals-the-“puffiest”-planets-ever-found

This illustration depicts the Sun-like star TOI-791 and two giant planets that NASA’s TESS space telescope discovered in its orbit. These planets, designated TOI-791 b and TOI-791 c, are roughly the size of Jupiter but a tiny fraction of its mass, meaning they have an extraordinarily low density.  NASA / Daniel Rutter Data from NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission hasContinue Reading

Host Andres Almeida: Image data from Earth-observing satellites like Landsat and the PACE mission helps scientists monitor everything from wildfires and hurricanes to crop health and changing coastlines.   But before scientists can use those images for research, the data must be carefully calibrated to ensure the measurements are accurate and consistent over time. A lot of this happensContinue Reading
