Quality-Diversity Search in Sound Generation: Investigating Innovation Engines for Audio Exploration
arXiv:2606.09780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study addresses the challenges composers and sound designers face in creating and refining tools to achieve their musical goals. Using evolutionary processes to promote diversity and foster serendipitous discoveries, we automate the search through uncharted sonic spaces for sound discovery, arguing that diversity-promoting algorithms can bridge the gap between the theoretical realisation and practical accessibility of sounds.
Going supersonic! NASA's X-59 jet breaks sound barrier for the 1st time
NASA's X-59 jet breaks sound barrier for the 1st time NASA's X-59 jet has finally gone supersonic. The X-59, a long-nosed demonstrator designed to help develop the tech required for "quiet" supersonic flight, notched the milestone on Friday (June 5), more than six months after getting off the ground for the first time. "The X-59’s first supersonic flight is a testament to America's enduring leadership in science, engineering and aerospace innovation," Michael Kratsios, assistant to the...
Scientists develop 'smart paint' that reflects 97% of sunlight and could reduce AC use during heatwaves
As heatwaves become more frequent and intense around the world, scientists are exploring new ways to keep buildings cool without increasing energy consumption. Researchers at the University of Sydney, working with startup Dewpoint Innovations, have developed a nano-engineered coating that reflects up to 97% of sunlight and stays significantly cooler than conventional surfaces. The experimental "smart paint" is designed to reduce heat absorption, lower indoor temperatures and potentially...
ZTE and partners nurture global ICT talent through 2026 engineering capacity building program
Partner Content ZTE successfully co-organized the graduation of the 2026 Engineering Capacity Building Program (Information & Communication Engineering) in Shenzhen. Under the theme "Wisdom Leading Communication Frontiers, Empowering Engineering Practice", the program was hosted by the Chinese Society of Engineers, organized by the China Institute of Communications, and co-organized by the Guangdong Institute of Communications and ZTE. The initiative brought together over 60 ICT engineers...
Understanding the Fundamental Design Decisions of Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems
arXiv:2411.19463v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a critical technique for enhancing large language model (LLM) capabilities. However, practitioners face significant challenges when making RAG deployment decisions. While existing research prioritizes algorithmic innovations, a systematic gap persists in understanding fundamental engineering trade-offs that determine RAG success.
Opinion: Germany in intensive care – a danger for all of Europe
After Germany's resounding defeat in the race for a seat on the UN Security Council, one thing has become clear: the country is in intensive care. An opinion piece by Euronews' Editorial Director, Claus Strunz. After 16 years of Angela Merkel, marked by major policy mistakes in energy, economic, and migration policy, followed by three disastrous years of a dysfunctional coalition under Olaf Scholz, Friedrich Merz's government is now drifting towards a historic low point.

The official Formula 1 travelling exhibition will make its Asian debut in Singapore this July. The award-winning Formula 1 Exhibition will be at Gardens by the Bay from Jul 23.
Exact Linear Attention
arXiv:2605.18848v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper introduces Exact Linear Attention (ELA), a mechanism that achieves linear computational complexity for Transformer attention by exploiting the exact decomposition property of kernel functions, thereby eliminating approximation error. We identify and address two key limitations of prior linear attention -- gradient explosion and token attention dilution -- by imposing kernel constraints that ensure non-negativity,...
Jim Cramer says he can't sell Eli Lilly despite its massive run up. Here's why
Eli Lilly 's expanding obesity drug pipeline is giving us little reason to take profits at this point — even after a massive run to record highs. "It's a parabolic spike. I don't buy parabolas," Jim Cramer said on " Squawk on the Street " on Monday.
Water-wave tweezers steer tiny 'surfers' without touching them
Water-wave tweezers steer tiny 'surfers' without touching them Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Summer brings with it the sight of surfers moving seamlessly across wave crests, with ocean waters carrying them along coastlines. A team of scientists has now created a similar phenomenon—with small objects rather than surfers—that can be controlled by humans rather than by nature. Through a series of experiments on a replicated mini-beach, NYU researchers show how...
