The Ubicquia Innovation Center for Intelligent Infrastructure will accelerate the development and deployment of advanced industrial sensors, large language models, AI, and real-time analytics to digitize and monitor critical infrastructure across utility, municipal, commercial, and industrial sectors. The center will drive research that strengthens power grids, boosts energy efficiency, and enhances public safety through smarter, data-driven solutions.

The Australian Digital Inclusion Index has found almost half of Australians recently used generative AI tools, raising new opportunities and challenges for digital inclusion.

A theoretical framework predicts the emergence of non-reciprocal interactions that effectively violate Newton’s third law in solids using light, report researchers from Japan. They demonstrate that by irradiating light of a carefully tuned frequency onto a magnetic metal, one can induce a torque that drives two magnetic layers into a spontaneous, persistent “chase-and-run” rotation. This work opens a new frontier in non-equilibrium materials science and suggests novel applications in light-controlled quantum materials.
