A team of researchers across San Diego County received a $1.5 million grant from the State of California to offer a better alternative to off the shelf chatbots. The team will deploy, assess and improve an innovative AI tutor system that originated at the University of California San Diego. 

A team of researchers at the University of California San Diego developed an AI tutor designed to give students an alternative to off-the-shelf AI tools, so that students not only get help but actually learn course-relevant information at the same time. The hope is that students will find this experience more fulfilling than simply relying on large language models like Google Copilot or ChatGPT. 

New research from an international group looking at ancient sediment cores in the North Atlantic has for the first time shown a strong correlation between sediment changes and a marked period of global cooling that occurred in the Northern Hemisphere some 3.6 million years ago. The changes in sediments imply profound changes in the circulation of deep water currents occurred at this time.

This crucial piece of work, which showed sediments changed in multiple sites east of the mid-Atlantic ridge but not west of that important geographical feature, opens multiple doors to future research aimed at better understanding the link between deep water currents, Atlantic Ocean heat and salt distribution and ice-sheet expansion, and climatic change.

This study introduces an Artificial Intelligence (AI) empowered search engine to accelerate the discovery of altermagnetic materials under the condition of limited labeled samples, demonstrating the potential of AI-driven methods to identify functional materials with novel properties.

Artificial light, once a luxury, has become central to modern life, with its evolution spanning from fire to LEDs. Now, researchers from the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw and Warsaw University of Technology led by Prof. Janusz Lewiński in collaboration with Prof. Andrew E. H. Wheatley from Cambridge University have developed a new class of efficient light-emitting materials as the promising candidates to be applied to lighten the darkness. They demonstrated easily accessible aluminium-based organometallic complexes that have the potential to be applied in optoelectronic devices. Let’s take a look closer at their recent studies.

A novel approach to temperature stabilization harnesses optoelectronics and neuro-inspired Hebbian learning, and, by using brain-inspired plasticity in an optoelectronic dendritic platform, enables ultra-fast, adaptive control.
