A new study shows deepfake detectors can be easily bypassed using specially crafted video inputs that exploit their weaknesses.  Systems designed to detect deepfakes — videos that manipulate real-life footage via artificial intelligence — can be deceived, computer scientists showed for the firs...

Supercomputer simulations bring physicists closer to unlocking quark behavior inside matter. Since the 1930s, scientists have been using particle accelerators to gain insights into the structure of matter and the laws of physics that govern our world. These accelerators are some of the most powerful...

When artificial intelligence is tasked with visually identifying objects and faces, it assigns specific components of its network to face recognition — just like the human brain. The human brain seems to care a lot about faces. It’s dedicated a specific area to identifying them, and the neurons ther...

Models for natural language processing use statistics to collect a wealth of information about word meanings. In “Through the Looking Glass,” Humpty Dumpty says scornfully, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” Alice replies, “The question is whether yo...

Exploring Supermassive Black Hole Jets with NASA Simulations NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientists ran 100 sophisticated simulations exploring jets — narrow beams of energetic particles — that emerge at nearly light speed from supermassive black holes. These behemoths sit at the centers of act...

Enhancing Computing Through the Use of Perovskite Nanocrystals Despite the advancements in technology, the human brain remains superior to computers in several ways. While computers can perform mathematical calculations faster than humans, the human brain is capable of processing complex sensory inf...

The new open-source algorithm has the potential to revolutionize large-scale web traffic management. Computer scientists have developed a highly effective, yet incredibly simple, algorithm to decide which items to toss from a web cache to make room for new ones. Known as SIEVE, the new open-source a...

Imagine playing a racing game like Mario Kart, using only your brain to execute the complex series of turns in a lap. This is not a video game fantasy, but a real program that engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have created as part of research into brain-computer interfaces to help impro...

A new paper explores the necessary conditions for consciousness, highlighting key differences between brains and computers, especially in causal structures, and suggesting that true conscious experience may require more than just simulation. In a new paper, Wanja Wiese explores which conditions must...

Scientists envision a future of AI units sharing knowledge like a hive-mind, enabling fast, adaptable responses across fields, without the risks of centralized control. Leading computer scientists from institutions including Loughborough University, MIT, and Yale have outlined a vision for the futur...

Scientists used satellite and seismic data to prove mega tsunamis in Greenland fjords created trapped standing waves that shook the Earth. In September 2023, scientists detected a strange global seismic signal that repeated every 90 seconds for nine days and then occurred again a month later. Nearly...
