Chemistry computer algorithm does more with less experimental data to reveal the optimal way to make green materials.


Machine learning could teach us how to make manufacturing of materials cleaner and more sustainable by taking a holistic view to identify the greenest production method, suggest KAUST researchers.

The quest for sustainability means that scientists worldwide are developing advanced materials to help address issues, including carbon capture, water desalination and energy storage, says Rifan Hardian, a postdoc

Deep neural networks, multilayered systems built to process images and other data through the use of mathematical modeling, are a cornerstone of artificial intelligence.

They are capable of seemingly sophisticated results, but they can also be fooled in ways that range from relatively harmless—misidentifying one animal as another—to potentially deadly if the network guiding a self-driving car misinterprets a stop sign as one indicating it is safe to proceed.

A philosopher with the University of Houston suggests in a paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence that common assumptions about the cause behind these supposed malfunctions may

GM no longer backs Trump effort to bar California emissions rules

by  on  in Automotive News

WASHINGTON — General Motors said Monday it is reversing course and will no longer back the Trump administration’s effort to bar California from setting its own emissions rules in an ongoing court fight.

GM CEO Mary Barra said in a letter to environmental groups it is “immediately withdrawing from the preemption litigation and inviting other automakers to join us.”

The dramatic rejection of Trump came as GM sought to work with President-elect Joe Biden, who has made boosting electric vehicles a top priority. GM has laid out an ambitious strategy to boost EV sales and last week said it will

Analysis: Fox News’ rivals are using the network’s own dishonest tactics against it

by  on  in Workshop

For more than two decades, Fox News has conditioned its audience to distrust news that collides with its worldview or theirs. Inconvenient facts have been dismissed and blamed on the “liberal media” or the “deep state” or one of the many other boogeymen favored by the right at any particular time. 

But now that strategy could be catching up to the conservative cable channel, with rising competition from networks such as Newsmax and OAN, which have positioned themselves as Trumpier than Fox.
On one hand, the network needs to maintain a semblance of having a serious news operation and its
