AI companions can comfort lonely users but may deepen distress over time
Long-term use of AI companions may give comfort, but research indicates it may negatively impact users’ wellbeing and their ability to navigate real world relationships.
Ability to harness quantum speed gains now within sight after researchers solve massive simulation problem in a heartbeat
The use of a quantum-inspired algorithm to calculate the unworkably vast potential properties of quantum materials is an early example of how quantum technology can be used to improve itself. The discovery could have future applications in dissipationless technology, for example to mitigate data centre heating.Our experts in the media
Prof. Törmä explains how quantum geometry can be a tool for creating new materials.
