A big question for those working in the field is how far we should we go in mimicking the brain. The human brain is remarkably good at storing and processing information. This is an important consideration because energy consumption and waste heat are limiting factors for conventional electronics. Four experts. Integration in 3D.

Scientists and engineers continue to push the boundaries of what can be achieved with artificial intelligence (AI), with the last few years seeing impressive gains in areas such as speech recognition and natural language processing. To achieve the optimal solution we need to co-design the architecture and the computing substrate.”

The biggest question physicists want to answer is why a cooling liquid forms a hard glass at all, when no distinct change in structure occurs between the liquid and glass states. At the British Museum in London, there is a small turquoise-blue jug, originating from Egypt under the reign of the pharaoh Thutmose III.

The devices I build are multi-layered structures, where you have to really know what’s going to happen when you deposit one layer on top of another. I have to come clean about something. I thought I understood the science of surfaces. So, this being the field I work in, I thought I had a pretty good grasp of surface science.

What specific aspects of this topic did each of you work on? Could you explain why these materials are so important for solar power? Akihiro Kojima: Perovskites are compounds with the general formula ABX 3 , where A and B are cations and X is an anion. This type of perovskites can take organic/inorganic hybrid structures.

Some themes are expected, for example the huge challenge of the climate crisis, or exploring the ethics of new technologies in medicine, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI). Questions of the responsibility of physicists to society are of course not new. Not really. Responsibility of physicists for their discoveries.

To replicate the wonders of the human hand, researchers in the field of “soft robotics” are trying to design artificial structures made from flexible, compliant materials that can be controlled and programmed by computers. But what about the mechanics of the motion itself? But plants can also act surprisingly quickly. Seeds of success.

My dad, a retired Kansas farmer and cattleman, recently sent me an article about one startup company that hopes to release an army of small robots that go up and down row crop fields during the growing season, mowing any weeds in their path. Whether mowing weeds will kill or stunt them enough to be beneficial is another question.

At the time, computers were still in their infancy, but the question of whether machines could think was already looming large. Seemingly aware that these debates might rumble on endlessly, Turing devised a new problem to refocus the conversation and to advance what would become the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

Biological life on planet Earth is undoubtedly immense and the subject that studies it - biology - is such a vast area of study that no graduate in the subject could hope to understand all of it. Increasingly, biology graduates are looking for ways to find their niche early and focus on one specific area. This is the study of animal life (1).
