RALEIGH – A new semiconductor research hub will be developed by a partnership including Wolfspeed, N.C. State and North Carolina A&T with the federal government choosing the group for a $39.4 million grant. It’s called the Commercial Leap Ahead for Wide Bandgap Semiconductors, or CLAWS, Hub. Other partners include...

“Accounting transparency is important, particularly for publicly traded companies,” N.C. State professor says. “That being said, our findings suggest there can be unexpected knock-on effects of some transparency efforts, such as a decline in corporate innovation.”

Researchers from North Carolina State University created a test system with AI and gave it the capability to modify the composition of its own neural network. When choosing between identical artificial neurons and more diverse neurons, the AI chose diversity, and the diversity-based AI was up to 10 times more accurate than conventional AI in solving more complicated problems. Check out this latest research.
