The writer Malcolm Gladwell popularized the term "tipping points" to refer to the moment when a trend or social behavior crosses a threshold and rapidly spreads everywhere. In physics, tipping points occur when systems—say, Earth's climate—reach an unstable point and topple over into a sea of change that is sometimes irreversible. Examples include global warming

USC Viterbi and Stevens new faculty: Ajey Jacob (top left), Haowei Shi (top center), Itay Hen (top right), Morley Mao (bottom left), Sasan Razmkhah (bottom center) and Scott Mahlke (bottom right) The USC Stevens School of Computing and Artificial Intelligence welcomes six new faculty members whose research advances the frontiers of artificial intelligence, computing and

Last week, Anthropic and OpenAI looked like they had the AI race to themselves, pulling ahead with increasingly powerful models that left their rivals in the dust. Google seemed hopelessly far behind, while Meta, despite spending billions to revive its floundering AI ambitions, had yet to establish itself as a serious contender. Even the latest

Not every protein in the cell folds into a tidy, well-defined three-dimensional shape. A large and biologically crucial class of proteins, known as intrinsically disordered proteins and regions, remains flexible and structureless under normal physiological conditions, and that very flexibility is what allows them to switch gene activity on and off, mediate cellular stress responses

Proteomics has long labored under a paradox: the field generates staggering volumes of data, yet its machine learning models have been starved of the kind of curated, standardized corpora that fueled the revolutions in language and vision. Now, a team led by researchers at Westlake University, Fudan University and the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has

At this year’s OCP Global Summit, Microsoft announced Project Tessera, the evolution of the Azure Integrated Hardware Security Module (HSM), into a fully open-source initiative developed in collaboration with Marvell®, Oracle, and Open Compute Project (OCP). Project Tessera advances our broader commitment to open, industrywide standards for platform security. The motivation behind Project Tessera is

Enterprise applications have become increasingly demanding. Agentic AI has compounded the need for vast amounts of enterprise data with frequent, complex queries across increasingly large datasets. Meeting that demand requires greater data throughput without a proportional increase in cost. NVIDIA cuDF addresses this challenge by leveraging the massive parallelism and high-bandwidth memory of GPUs for
