Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed the world's first kilowatt-scale elastocaloric cooling device. The device can stabilize indoor temperatures at a comfortable 21°C–22°C ...

Empa researchers are working on producing artificial muscles that can keep up with the real thing. They have now developed a method of producing the soft and elastic yet powerful structures using 3D printing.

Cost, technical performance and environmental impact—these are the three most important aspects for a new type of LED technology to have a broad commercial impact on society. This has been demonstrated by researchers at ...

AI models often rely on "spurious correlations," making decisions based on unimportant and potentially misleading information. Researchers have now discovered these learned spurious correlations can be traced to a very small ...

Optoelectronics are promising devices that combine optical components, which operate leveraging light, with electronics, which leverage electrical current. Optoelectronic systems could transmit data faster than conventional ...

Producing high-performance titanium alloy parts—whether for spacecraft, submarines or medical devices—has long been a slow, resource-intensive process. Even with advanced metal 3D-printing techniques, finding the right ...

Imagine that a robot is helping you clean the dishes. You ask it to grab a soapy bowl out of the sink, but its gripper slightly misses the mark.

Researchers at the Institute of Technology, University of Tartu, present a robotics concept in which temporary robot embodiments and movement pathways are spun in situ from a polymer solution. They demonstrate an ad hoc gripper ...

A study led by Dr. Latha Marasamy, a research professor at the Autonomous University of Querétaro, Mexico, is setting the stage for advancements in solar energy technology. The research team has made a significant breakthrough ...

Two main manufacturers dominate the EV (electric vehicle) market: Tesla, which is most popular in Europe and North America, and BYD, which leads the Chinese EV market. However, both manufacturers have released limited data ...

A team of AI researchers at Palisade Research has found that several leading AI models will resort to cheating at chess to win when playing against a superior opponent. They have published a paper on the arXiv preprint server ...

A small team of optical and solar cell specialists and electrical engineers affiliated with several institutions in China, and one in France, has found that adding pyrrodiazole to formamidinium iodide perovskite films can ...
