Tech Xplore / Exploring how to add hidden electronic watermarks to works written by AI systems
A team of computer scientists at the University of Maryland has developed a means of adding watermarks to text generated by AI systems. They have posted a paper describing their approach on the arXiv preprint server.
Tech Xplore / Google demonstrates MusicLM: A hi-fidelity music generating AI
A team of engineers at Google is demonstrating a new music generation AI system called MusicLM. In their paper posted on the arXiv preprint server, the group claims that the new system establishes a new level of composition ...
Tech Xplore / More EV charging stations amp up home values
As electric vehicles continues to speed ahead in the market, a new study from the University of Maryland's Center for Global Sustainability (CGS) found that homebuyers are willing to pay a premium in areas where it's easy ...
Tech Xplore / Scientists illuminate barrier to next-generation battery that charges very quickly
New lithium metal batteries with solid electrolytes are lightweight, inflammable, pack a lot of energy, and can be recharged very quickly, but they have been slow to develop due to mysterious short circuiting and failure. ...
Tech Xplore / Learning on tree architectures shown to outperform a convolutional feedforward network
Traditionally, artificial intelligence stems from human brain dynamics. However, brain learning is restricted in a number of significant aspects compared to deep learning (DL). First, efficient DL wiring structures (architectures) ...
Tech Xplore / New fabric coating could drastically reduce microplastic pollution from washing clothes
A team of University of Toronto Engineering researchers, led by Professor Kevin Golovin, have designed a solution to reduce the amount of microplastic fibers that are shed when clothes made of synthetic fabrics are washed.
Tech Xplore / A fairy-like robot flies by the power of wind and light
The development of stimuli-responsive polymers has brought about a wealth of material-related opportunities for next-generation small-scale, wirelessly controlled soft-bodied robots. For some time now, engineers have known ...
Tech Xplore / Small, convenient mosquito repellent device passes test to protect military personnel
A device developed at the University of Florida for the U.S. military provides protection from mosquitos for an extended period and requires no heat, electricity or skin contact.
Tech Xplore / Stability of perovskite solar cells reaches next milestone
Perovskite semiconductors promise highly efficient and low-cost solar cells. However, the semi-organic material is very sensitive to temperature differences, which can quickly lead to fatigue damage in normal outdoor use. ...
Tech Xplore / Harvesting big energy from small movement
Since the ancient Greeks, humankind has known that if you bring two things into contact, a small amount of electricity is created. One example is that we can rub a balloon with our hair and generate enough electricity to ...
Tech Xplore / Coating provides radiation barrier for perovskites in space, protection from elements on Earth
An ultrathin protective coating proves sufficient to protect a perovskite solar cell from the harmful effects of space and harden it against environmental factors on Earth, according to newly published research from the U.S. ...
Tech Xplore / What happens to our data when we no longer use a social media network or publishing platform?
The internet plays a central role in our lives. I—and many others my age—grew up alongside the development of social media and content platforms.
