Researchers have developed a sulfur host with asymmetric Zn-N₄-S single atom sites that improves the performance of the aqueous zinc–sulfur batteries with nearly theoretical value and record-low polarization. They propose to overcome sluggish solid-solid conversion kinetics using coordination microenvironment engineering.

Images of faces created by Artificial Intelligence (AI) are seen as more trustworthy than images of genuine faces say researchers, who warn of the risks of online fraud and other harms.

This is the first ever study to examine the trustworthiness of AI faces created by the latest diffusion technology and was led by Lancaster University with Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.

Lead researcher Lex McGuire said: “As AI-generated images become more sophisticated and more accessible, as a society, we are increasingly exposed to artificially-generated faces—often in nefarious and exploitative scenarios, such as political disinformation, financial and identity fraud, and catfishing.”

Intelligent Computing, a Science Partner Journal co-founded by Zhejiang Lab and the American Association for the Advancement of Science(AAAS), has appointed Philip S. Yu and Osmar R. Zaïane as its new Editors-in-Chief. Philip S. Yu and Osmar R. Zaïane succeed the journal's founding Editors-in-Chief at a pivotal stage of development, as Intelligent Computing continues its rapid growth as an international open-access journal dedicated to advancing the convergence of intelligence and computing.

Researchers at the ctd.qmat Cluster of Excellence in Würzburg have developed a new type of electronic component. These open up new possibilities for energy-efficient hardware, such as for applications in artificial intelligence.
