Tech Xplore / 'Talkative batteries': Battery cells send temperature data through existing terminals, simplifying battery management
A battery that "talks" does not use words—it communicates through data. Researchers at Kiel University have demonstrated how sensors inside a battery cell can transmit measurement data to the outside without the need for ...
Phys.org / How proximity steals energy from nanoresonators
Nanomechanical resonators are miniature vibrating structures on chips that oscillate at frequencies ranging from a few kilohertz to gigahertz. They are used as ultrasensitive detectors of mass and force, temperature and pressure, ...
Tech Xplore / Netflix strikes deals in short-form video push
Netflix is pushing deeper into the short-form video territory dominated by TikTok and YouTube, striking licensing deals with a slate of major U.S. media publishers to carry bite-sized content on its platform.
Phys.org / How tall and short trees can coexist in old growth forests

Phys.org / Webb uncovers dust-shrouded heart of Centaurus A after galaxy clash 2 billion years ago
In new images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to celebrate its fourth science anniversary, a familiar galaxy transforms into something far richer and far more complex than ever seen before. Webb's unprecedented sensitivity ...
Tech Xplore / New analysis framework for developing stronger foundations during urban redevelopment
Urban redevelopment in densely populated areas often requires demolition and replacement of aging buildings. As buildings are replaced, existing foundation piles must be removed, leaving cylindrical voids that must be backfilled ...
