As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful and widespread, so does the environmental cost of running it. Behind every chatbot, image generator, and television streaming recommendation are massive banks of millions of computers housed in an increasing number of data centers that consume staggering amounts of electricity and water to keep their machines cool. Most of that electricity is still produced by fossil fuel-burning power plants, which contribute directly to air pollution and climate change.

Soon, researchers may be able to create movies of their favorite protein or virus better and faster than ever before. Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have pioneered a new machine learning method—called X-RAI (X-Ray single particle imaging with Amortized Inference)—that can "look" at millions of X-ray laser-generated images and create a three-dimensional reconstruction of the target particle. The team recently reported their findings in Nature Communications.

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can write an essay or plan a menu almost instantly. But until recently, it was also easy to stump them. The models, which rely on language patterns to respond to users' queries, often failed at math problems and were not good at complex reasoning. Suddenly, however, they've gotten a lot better at these things.

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the movement of the prosthetic limb and—for the first time—also help a human user's body engage in a more natural walking pattern. The new approach can be used to help restore and maintain various aspects of user movement, with the goal of addressing health challenges associated with an amputation.
