China’s ‘father of quantum’ Pan Jianwei and his team have been studying optical-lattice-based ultracold atomic systems since 2010.
Yet the automation of such tasks also means the chance to eliminate or reduce certain roles, not just in administration, but across many fields as the technology becomes more sophisticated. According to a survey of professionals by Thomson Reuters published last week, 67% of respondents believe AI will have a great impact on their profession in the next five years, while more than half predict the technology will create new career paths.
So exactly what are those new professional opportunities that the next generation of workers should be trying to pursue?
“There is no such thing as a future-proof career anymore,” says Dr Andrew Rogoyski, the director of innovation and partnerships at the Surrey Institute for People-Centred Artificial Intelligence at the University of Surrey.
This soft robot uses “physical intelligence” to navigate complicated surfaces without the need for human or computer intervention.
Engineers have developed a “brainless” soft robot that can effortlessly traverse difficult terrain.
This breakthrough comes from North Carolina State University researchers, who previously created a soft robot capable of navigating basic mazes without the need for human or computer intervention.
In a major breakthrough, scientists in Israel have created ‘artificial embryos’. They mimic all the features of a real human embryo. Will these embryos be used to create human life? Here’s what Priyanka Sharma has to say.

In a major breakthrough, scientists have built a tool to predict the odour profile of a molecule, just based on its structure. It can identify molecules that look different but smell the same, as well as molecules that look very similar but smell totally different.
Professor Jane Parker, University of Reading, said: Vision research has wavelength, hearing research has frequency – both can be measured and assessed by instruments. But what about smell? We don’t currently have a way to measure or accurately predict the odour of a molecule, based on its molecular structure.
You can get so far with current knowledge of the molecular structure, but eventually you are faced with numerous exceptions where the odour and structure don’t match. This is what has stumped previous models of olfaction. The fantastic thing about this new ML generated model is that it correctly predicts the odour of those exceptions.
A groundbreaking medical procedure for those with kidney stones will soon be offered at the University of Washington after more than two decades of research.
Generative AI is dominating the conversation in 2023, and the design community is no exception to its transformative potential. Product innovations fueled by emerging AI capabilities have the potential to unlock new opportunities and put the power of real-time intelligence in customers’ hands like never before.
As a design leader focused on creating innovative products and solutions for millions of our consumers and for thousands of our employees, I find AI’s potential particularly exciting for the design discipline. New technological advances like generative AI, computer vision, natural language processing and large language models can augment, complement and elevate the capabilities of designers, enabling them to focus on work that delivers maximum value to their users. At the same time, there are ongoing and important conversations about designing and implementing new safeguards and frameworks to mitigate risk and ensure the responsible application of AI.
Let’s take a closer look at the dynamic intersection of AI and design, focusing on how AI-enhanced design tools can enhance designer workflows, improve outputs and fuel product innovation.
Innovative white-label voice ordering technology will enable select operators to increase revenue and maintain high-quality customer experiences, without increasing labor costs or sacrificing hospitality.
The backpack also boasts a camera, microphone, speaker, network interface, processor, and storage, of course.
A person with poor vision heading to work faces many challenges, such as difficulty identifying the traffic lights. One day, the person is handed a backpack that is able to recognize the objects surrounding them, describing the people and stores nearby.
Now, an innovation can help support individuals with multiple tasks through the tech giant – Microsoft’s latest innovation – an artificial intelligence (AI) endowed smart backpack.
New research may lead to highly precise, power-efficient light measurement tools, driving advancements in various technology fields.
Researchers have discovered a way to improve optical frequency combs to measure light waves with much higher precision than previously accomplished. This could lead to the development and improvement of devices that require such precision, like atomic clocks. The researchers showed that dissipative Kerr solitons (DKSs) can create chip-based optical frequency combs with enough output power for use in optical atomic clocks and other practical applications.
