Scientists warn that rapid advances in AI and neurotechnology are outpacing our understanding of consciousness, creating serious ethical risks. New research argues that developing scientific tests for awareness could transform medicine, animal welfare, law, and AI development. But identifying consci

Physicists discovered new properties of the strong force by analyzing what happens when light-speed particles skim by each other.

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University of Iowa researchers found that unwanted photons produced by lasers can be canceled out by carefully tuning the light itself. The result is a much purer stream of single photon

arXiv:2604.09049v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Instant delivery, shipping items before critical deadlines, is essential in daily life. While multiple delivery agents, such as couriers, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and crowdsourced agents, have been widely employed, each of them faces inherent

The State of AI Report is the most widely read and trusted analysis of key developments in AI. Published annually since 2018, the open-access report aims to spark informed conversation about the state of AI and what it means for the future. Produced by AI investor Nathan Benaich and Air Street Capit

arXiv:2604.01703v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Realizing relative localization by leveraging inter-robot local measurements is a challenging problem, especially in the presence of measurement noise. Motivated by this challenge, in this paper we propose a novel and systematic 3-D relative localizat
