Think invisibility cloaks, energy sources beyond our wildest dreams, or ultra-fast processors operating at the speed of light. The problem? Designing structures at the nanoscale is incredibly complex and computationally expensive. Enter the nanophotonic foundation model. This is where AI takes the reins, learning the intricate relationship between a material's atomic structure and its resulting optical properties. It's like giving a supercomputer the keys to the materials science lab, allowing it to predict and design with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Essentially, we've built an AI that understands the 'language' of light and matter. By training it on a massive dataset of nanostructures and their optical behavior, it can now 'imagine' new materials with specific, desired properties. It rapidly suggests new designs for nano-structures to achieve certain optical effects, like…...

just now (263+ words) Many people hear "AI" and instantly think of ChatGPT. But the truth is: AI existed long before ChatGPT, and most AI we used for years wasn't conversational at all. Let's start from the top. Artificial Intelligence is the broadest term. If a system tries to mimic human intelligence " learning, decision-making, perception " it falls under AI. AI includes many subfields: Before ChatGPT, the AI powering our world was mostly Machine Learning. ML is simply this: Models learn patterns from data and make predictions " without being explicitly programmed. For almost 20 years, ML quietly powered: " Fraud detection " Credit scoring " Traffic prediction in maps " Recommendation engines " Face recognition " Spam filters " Search ranking And here's the interesting part: These models were not "smart" in a conversational way. They didn't talk, write, reason, or code. They were mathematical prediction systems: " Logistic regression " Decision trees " Random forest…...

just now (619+ words) Thousands of people have signed a petition in support of One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's controversial burqa ban bill after the Senator was censured for wearing the garment. A petition in support of One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's controversial burqa ban push has surged in the wake of her Senate stunt. The Senator attempted to introduce a bill outlawing burqas and other full-face coverings in public spaces on Monday before the motion was objected to, prompting her to reappear later in the Senate session wearing a burqa.

I've been best friends with a co-worker for the last six years, but over the last few months, I've been realizing she's a lot more to me than just a friend. I am nervous about trying to make advances because I don't know if the feelings are mutual or how she views our age difference. I don't want to risk ruining our friendship. I just know that my heart skips a few beats when our eyes meet or our fingers accidentally touch. I've realized these last few months that I'm falling…...

Walmart Inc. and Target Corp. are natural competitors in the dog-eat-dog world of retail." They're both big-box retailers selling value to shoppers. They've both been building with e-commerce, third-party digital marketplaces and delivery. And they're both supersized fixtures in American shopping centers." But while Walmart is ginormous at $681 billion in sales,"Target is just really, really big at $107 billion." Now, they're entering a new, AI-driven age of retail with new chief executive officers on the way and very different trajectories.
