Shape-sensing sheet digitally tracks its movement as it bends and twists
MIT engineers have developed a flexible, shape-sensing sheet that digitally reconstructs its own form as it bends and twists. The sensor is similar in principle to some motion-capture garments, which track a person's physical ...

Neural network study sheds light on how AI chatbots 'reason' like humans
When humans write sentences or solve math problems, they are thinking symbolically—each number, variable or word is expressed by a symbol. While AI chatbots do not "think" that way, if prompted, they can offer cogent advice ...

Spelling backward gets easier for AI models upgraded to see every letter
Before large language models (LLMs) can process text, they split it into chunks such as words or word fragments. The LLM behind ChatGPT, for example, splits "LMU München" into the three chunks "LM," "U" and "München," so ...
