Robotic arms can often only grasp with their fingertips. Complicated tasks thus quickly become unsolvable for robots. MIT researchers have now found a way to simplify certain processes.

AI is still only as good as the data it has been trained on. It doesn't know what it doesn't know. Researchers have now developed an AI that learns by asking people questions.

AI tool aims to detect users' emotional state and social status - and suggest ads based on them. At the moment it is still an art project - but for how much longer?

First Craig Venter deciphered the human genome, then he created the first bacterium with an artificial genome. But the American gene pioneer has always been controversial. A portrait.

AI can recognise emotions based on facial expressions. In one study, AI even performed better than trained therapists.

How fast is the ice melting in Antarctica? Autonomous drones and AI could help reduce the uncertainty of sea-level rise.

Tiny micro- and nanoplastic particles (MNP) can not only enter the body through food, as is well known, but can even reach the brain.

In an Empa research project, study participants rated the noise of new types of aircraft as less annoying than the noise of today's aircraft.

An artificial intelligence (AI)-based image recognition method is detecting planets outside our solar system that remain invisible using conventional approaches.

Until now, food aid operations have been a black box. A new MIT technology is shedding light on the issue, with unique IDs for each individual product.
