A team of researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology in China have developed a system by which invisible ink and a basic cipher can be combined with relatively simple AI to create an ‘uncrackable’ offline encryption method. Up front:Remember when you learned that you could use lemon juice and water to write invisible messages on paper? Well, this is a lot like that. The researchers then take the invisible ink and use it to write a code that only an AI can break....

Do you know what the Earth’s atmosphere is made of? You’d probably remember it’s oxygen, and maybe nitrogen. And with a little help from Google you can easily reach a more precise answer: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% argon gas. However, when it comes to the composition of exo-atmospheres – the atmospheres of planets outside oursolar system– the answer is not known. This is a shame, as atmospheres can indicate the nature of planets, and whether they can host life....

Did you know Neural istaking the stage on Sept 30 and Oct 1? Together with an amazing line-up of experts, we will explore the future of AI during TNW Conference 2021.Secure your ticket now! AIis frequently overhyped, but one notable exception is its potential to unearth new materials. These substances can provide the foundations for an array of transformative technologies, from life-saving drugs to new electronic devices. The discovery of graphene, for instance,couldhelp solve the world water crisis, make smartphonesvirtually unbreakable, andeven improve your sex life....

A team of researchers from the University of Glasgow in the UK have created an AI-powered system for identifying which diseases will make the leap from the animal kingdom to causing human infections. This could go a long way towards preparing us for the next pandemic....

Researchers use neuromorphic chips and electronic ‘skin’ to give robots a sense of touch The creators call it “the most intelligent skin ever” An artificial nervous system The researchers built their artificial brain with Intel’s neuromorphic research chip:Loihi. The chip processes data from anartificial “spiking” neural network inspired by human neurons, which communicate by sending electrical spikes to one other. “The ability to transmit a large amount of information very quickly and efficiently — and do the computation as well — is something humans are very good at,” saidTee....
