As the name suggests, most electronic devices today work through the movement of electrons. But materials that can efficiently conduct protons — the nucleus of the hydrogen atom — could be key to a number of important technologies for combating global climate change.Most proton-conducting inorganic materials available now require undesirably high temperatures to achieve sufficiently high conductivity. However, lower-temperature alternatives could enable a variety of technologies, such as more efficient and durable fuel cells to produce clean electricity from hydrogen, electrolyzers to make clean fuels such as hydrogen for transportation, solid-state proton batteries, and even new kinds of computing devices…

As artificial intelligence models become increasingly prevalent and are integrated into diverse sectors like health care, finance, education, transportation, and entertainment, understanding how they work under the hood is critical. Interpreting the mechanisms underlying AI models enables us to audit them for safety and biases, with the potential to deepen our understanding of the science behind intelligence itself.Imagine if we could directly investigate the human brain by manipulating each of its individual neurons to examine their roles in perceiving a particular object. While such an experiment would be prohibitively invasive in the human brain, it is more feasible in another…

Half of the world’s population will experience a mental health disorder — but the median number of mental health workers per 100,000 people is just 13, according to the World Health Organization. To help tackle this disparity — which can vary by over 40x between high-income and low-income countries — a Madrid-based startup is offering therapists AI tools to improve the delivery of mental health services. Therapyside, a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge startups, is bolstering its online therapy platform using NVIDIA NIM inference microservices. These AI microservices serve as virtual assistants and notetakers, letting therapists focus…
