Artificial neurons successfully communicate with living brain cells new
ScienceDaily — Artificial Intelligence · 2026-04-18
Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones. These flexible, low-cost devices generate lifelike electrical signals capable of activating living brain cells, a breakthrough demonstrated in mouse brain tissue.
Quantum AI just got shockingly good at predicting chaos new
ScienceDaily — Artificial Intelligence · 2026-04-18
Researchers have shown that blending quantum computing with AI can dramatically improve predictions of complex, chaotic systems. By letting a quantum computer identify hidden patterns in data, the AI becomes more accurate and stable over time. The method outperformed standard models while using far less memory. This could have big implications for fields like climate science, energy, and medicine.

Efficient Fine-Tuning with LoRA: A Guide to Optimal Parameter Selection for Large Language Models new
Brave Search
Choosing the correct value of rank and the layers of the neural network architecture to target during adaptation could decide the quality of the output from the fine-tuned model. QLoRA results in further memory savings while preserving the adaptation quality. Even when the fine-tuning is performed, there are several important engineering considerations to ensure the adapted model is deployed in the correct manner. In summary, a concise table indicating the different combinations of LoRA parameters attempted, text quality output and number of parameters updated when fine-tuning OpenLLaMA-3b-v2 for 3 epochs on 5000 observations on a single A100 is shown below.
