For most of gaming history, the people you met inside a game could say only what a writer had scripted for them. Ask a guard something off-script and you got silence or a canned line. NVIDIA wants to change that, and its latest developer update shows how close the company thinks we are. In an October 27 post on the NVIDIA Technical Blog, the company laid out a bundle of AI tools for its new RTX Spark PC platform: a small language model built to run game characters on the device itself, a faster...

MIT engineers develop stickers that can see inside the body. New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs.
Ultrasound imaging is a safe and noninvasive window into the body’s workings, providing clinicians with live images of a patient’s internal organs. To capture these images, trained technicians manipulate ultrasound wands and probes to direct sound waves into the body. These waves reflect back out to produce high-resolution images of a patient’s heart, lungs, and other deep organs.
Currently, ultrasound imaging requires bulky and specialized equipment available only in hospitals and doctor’s ...
