Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have devised a rotating tabletop device to study wireless charging in electric vehicles. Testing on real tracks takes up vast areas at significant cost. The team not only built ...

Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) allow researchers at the forefront of energy technology to study next-generation battery materials down to the atom. But new research has discovered that the very act of microscoping ...

Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance. The imaging method, which was the result of a collaboration ...

BYU engineers had so much fun working with Mark Rober to create the "world's smallest Nerf blaster," they continued the work to see how big they could make it. The micro ant-blaster has become a mega launcher with the same ...

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are becoming increasingly common on roadways, but making them as safe as possible may entail going beyond the particular specs of the vehicles themselves to upgrading the roadway infrastructure. ...

When we hear about moving objects with electricity, most of us imagine a "pulling force." Positive and negative charges attract each other, drawing objects together. It is natural to think that this attractive force—known ...

A new study is the first to suggest realistic ways to integrate wisdom into artificial intelligence, to create AI systems that will be more robust, transparent, cooperative, and safe. Researchers from the University of Waterloo ...

Many governments and businesses worldwide have been trying to devise effective initiatives aimed at mitigating climate change and global warming. So far, their primary focus has been to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide ...

When artificial intelligence systems began acing long-standing academic assessments, researchers realized they had a problem: the tests were too easy. Popular evaluations, such as the Massive Multitask Language Understanding ...

Researchers have taken inspiration from nature to create a robotic wing that can sense and adapt to changes in water to deliver unparalleled stability. Drawing on the adaptive movements of birds and fish, the wing senses ...

A research team in China has developed an electrolyte using monofluorinated hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) solvents capable of achieving energy densities higher than 700 Wh kg−1 at room temperature and about 400 Wh kg−1 ...

In the era of climate crisis, hydrogen vehicles are emerging as an alternative for eco-friendly mobility. However, the fuel cell, known as the "heart of the hydrogen car," still faces limitations of high cost and short lifespan. ...
