By integrating miniaturized cameras with stretchable interconnects, this skin-conformal rigid-in-soft system endows dynamic surfaces with high-fidelity visual capabilities, augmenting perception for wearables and embodied artificial intelligence.

This study introduces MMKD-CLIP, a generalist biomedical vision-language model trained with multi-teacher knowledge distillation to improve performance across heterogeneous medical imaging modalities and tasks.

As Kew Botanic Gardens completes a scan of its collections, AI tools could help in the fight against biodiversity loss.

Two analyses suggest that quantum computers could crack ubiquitous security keys and cryptocurrencies before the decade is over.

Flying cars integrate ground-vehicle mobility with aircraft capabilities, making them candidates for deployment in the low-altitude economy and emergency rescue. We have advanced three enabling technologies — morphology design, multi-modal fusion perception, and active safety — across four generations of flying-car platforms.

Logical circuits have been built from nanosheet stacks of various transistors, which could make electronic devices faster and more compact.
