AI-driven workflow targets next-generation semiconductor materials
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AI-driven workflow targets next-generation semiconductor materials Researchers atUNSW have developed an artificial intelligence–assisted workflow that replaces slow, iterative materials discovery with a targeted, data-driven approach. Designing advanced materials remains largely trial and error.

Hundreds of educational apps recommended by Australian state education departments are exposing children to significant privacy and security risks – collecting sensitive data, transmitting it to third parties, and hiding behind privacy policies so complex that almost no parent can understand them. The findings come from one of the most comprehensive audits of Australian educational apps, analysing approximately 200 Android apps sourced from school…
