Where refueling stations should be located in 2050, according to the Chalmers study. The different colors represent the size of the station, orange being the smallest and red being the largest. Credit: Chalmers As hydrogen infrastructure is rolled out in the EU, refueling stations must be distributed according to the same principle in all countries. […]

Samples of forest images captured by AirSim. Credit: Future Generation Computer Systems (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.future.2025.107967 Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed the SPADE (Simulator-assisted PerformAbility Design methodology for UAV-based Systems) approach for accurate quality assessments of uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) video surveillance systems. The work is published in the journal Future Generation Computer

Computational design framework. Credit: arXiv (2025). DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2505.00222 Marine scientists have long marveled at how animals like fish and seals swim so efficiently despite having different shapes. Their bodies are optimized for efficient aquatic navigation (or hydrodynamics), so they can exert minimal energy when traveling long distances. Autonomous vehicles can drift through the ocean in

Luna v1.0 provides a user-friendly optimization environment, from defining models in Python to solving them using quantum algorithms. Credit: Aqarios Aqarios’ platform Luna v1.0 marks a major milestone in quantum optimization. This release significantly improves usability, performance, and real-world applicability by introducing FlexQAOA, a hybrid quantum algorithm designed specifically to handle industrial constraints directly within

Windowing strategy for (a) tokenizing and (b) decoding long-form speech to enable extrapolation in decoding lengths. Credit: arXiv (2024). DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2412.18603 Recently, spoken language models (SLMs) have been highlighted as next-generation technology that surpasses the limitations of text-based language models by learning human speech without text to understand and generate linguistic and non-linguistic information. However,

A schematic showing the structure of the smart pen used to capture handwriting signals for Parkinson’s diagnostics. Credit: Jun Chen Lab/UCLA Every year, tens of thousands of people with signs of Parkinson’s disease go unnoticed until the incurable neurodegenerative condition has already progressed. Motor symptoms, such as tremors or rigidity, often emerge only after significant

Credit: CC0 Public Domain The Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD) announces the open-source release of NebulaStream, a next-generation stream processing engine built for the unique challenges faced in IoT environments. A paper titled “NebulaStream: An Extensible, High-Performance Streaming Engine for Multi-Modal Edge Applications,” has been published in the journal Companion

It may sound like a scene

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Scientists are striving to discover new semiconductor materials that could boost the efficiency of solar cells and other electronics. But the pace of innovation is bottlenecked by the speed at which researchers can manually measure important material properties. A fully autonomous robotic system developed by MIT researchers could speed things up.

An expansion of the Community Notes pipeline from “all-human” to a hybrid “human-LLM” model. Today (top): Human note writers draft proposed notes in response to a misleading post, and other human contributors rate their helpfulness; the bridging algorithm picks the broadly helpful notes. Future (bottom): LLMs will also participate in the writing stage, producing notes
