Over the past decade, teams of engineers, chemists and biologists have analyzed the physical and chemical properties of cicada wings, hoping to unlock the secret to their ability to kill microbes on contact. If this function of nature can be replicated by science, it could lead to products with inherently antibacterial surfaces that are more … Read more

Aurora supercomputer Argonne National Laboratory announced that researchers are developing exascale software tools to enable the design of new chemicals and chemical processes for clean energy production. Argonne is building one of the nation’s first exascale systems, Aurora. To prepare the codes for the architecture and scale of the new supercomputer, 15 research groups are … Read more
https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.12972 Artificial neural networks have advanced significantly in recent decades, driven by the idea that greater network complexity translates into better performance. These networks can perform a variety of human-like tasks, including facial recognition, speech recognition, object identification, natural language processing, and content synthesis, which include several layers and many neurons or processing blocks. Modern … Read more
