If you walk into a bar in Italy, you might be served a dish of salty, nutritious snacks: beans from lupins, a legume that has been eaten around the Mediterranean and in parts of the Middle East and Africa for thousands of years. Lupins are very high in protein and fiber, low in carbs, have ...
Artificial intelligence has changed form in recent years. What started in the public eye as a burgeoning field with promising (yet largely benign) applications, has snowballed into a more than US$100 billion industry where the heavy hitters – Microsoft, Google and OpenAI, to name a few — seem intent on out-competing one another. The result ...
In the near future, when you apply for a job or join a new team at work, a machine using artificial intelligence, rather than a human, may assess your personality traits to see if you are suitable. Realizing that people could manipulate conventional personality tests, a team of computing and psychology researchers from Macquarie, CSIRO, ...
New analysis by academics from the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) predicts the dead may outnumber the living on Facebook within 50 years, a trend that will have grave implications for how we treat our digital heritage in the future. The analysis predicts that, based on 2018 user levels, at least 1.4 billion members will die ...
Crop losses for critical food grains will increase substantially with global warming, as rising temperatures boost the metabolism and population growth of insect pests, new research says. Scott Merrill of the University of Vermont, a co-author of the study published in Science, said: “Climate change will have a negative impact on crops; we are going to see increased pest ...
Scientists have now developed a transparent, self-healing, highly stretchable conductive material they say was inspired by Wolverine. The self-healing material can be electrically activated to power artificial muscles and could also be used to improve batteries, electronic devices, and robots. The researcher’s findings have been published in the journal Advanced Material. It is the first ...
