A New Dawn for Artificial Intelligence

New Scientist – Artificial intelligence has finally become trustworthy enough to watch over everything from nuclear bombs to premature babies. Given the choice between a flesh-and-blood doctor and an artificial intelligence system for diagnosing diseases, Pedro Domingos is willing to stake his life on AI. “I’d trust the machine more than I’d trust the doctor,” …

New graphene transistor with 1000 times higher on/off switching ratio

Researchers at the University of Southampton develop a new graphene transistor with 1000 times higher on/off switching ratio. The new transistor achieves a record high-switching performance which will make our future electronic devices – such as PDAs and computers – even more functional and high-performance. In a paper to be published in Electronics Letters on …
