Artificial neural networks built with biological cells promises massive energy savings.

This research shows that photonic neural networks don't need to follow the same rules as digital ones. By using the physical properties of light directly—rather than trying to simulate them—scientists ...

Previously met with skepticism, AI won scientists a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2024 after they used it to solve the protein folding and design problem, and it has now been adopted by biologists ...

Past psychology and behavioral science studies have identified various ways in which people's acquisition of new knowledge can be disrupted. One of these, known as interference, occurs when humans are ...

The simplified approach makes it easier to see how neural networks produce the outputs they do. A tweak to the way artificial neurons work in neural networks could make AIs easier to decipher.

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to scientists John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

For the past decade, AI researcher Chris Olah has been obsessed with artificial neural networks. One question in particular engaged him, and has been the center of his work, first at Google Brain, ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI), ...

Optical fibers transmit information at the speed of light over thousands of kilometers. These properties have enabled their ...
