Three Northwestern schools represented the University at the ACM Conference on Economics and Computation this month.

Abstract: Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments are designed using computer simulations that are approximations of reality and therefore must be calibrated to accurately predict experimental ...

A superconducting quantum computer is part of a network that is mining an experimental cryptocurrency called Quip, and it is able to do it faster and with better energy efficiency than conventional ma ...

Back in the Stone Age, before we were all completely plugged in and focused on our gadgets at all times (you know, like, 2002), people would get ... bored. Of course, everyone still finds themselves ...

FRANKFURT. In early phases of drug development, new active substances are tested in animals –alongside numerous other experimental methods. Researchers face a dilemma: on the one hand, for ethical ...

For more than 60 years, Bell's theorem has been the gold standard for demonstrating that quantum mechanics defies the rules of classical physics. Now, an international team of researchers, including ...

During World War I, the Atlantic was in chaos. German U-boats prowled the seas, looking for Allied ships to destroy. To counter this threat, Britain turned to an unlikely tool: art. Bold, irregular ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. Researchers at Australian ...

Imagine standing at the laboratory bench, working on an experiment, when, as you finish one step, a display on the inside of your lab goggles tells you what to do next. A small camera in the frame ...

I’m talking, of course, about OpenClaw (a.k.a. Moltbot a.k.a. Clawdbot), which not only represents a headlong rush into unchecked agentic AI, but also an emerging ecosystem that reads like every ...

What happens when you create a social media platform that only AI bots can post to? The answer, it turns out, is both entertaining and concerning. Moltbook is exactly that—a platform where artificial ...

On Friday, a Reddit-style social network called Moltbook reportedly crossed 32,000 registered AI agent users, creating what may be the largest-scale experiment in machine-to-machine social interaction ...
